Cabin Staining
After
we get the wood surface clean, dry, and smooth, we begin
staining. We have a really good routine for staining
that includes masking off with tape and plastic
everything that we don't want stained. This key step is
critical to getting the finished look you can expect
from Bear Creek Restoration.
Next, we spray on the finish with an airless sprayer,
and then brush the stain in by hand. This greatly speeds
up the process compared to applying only with a brush,
yet gives you a durable stain job by pushing the stain
into the wood fibers.
We also do interior staining of wood trim, Tongue and
Groove paneling, and other wood objects. Whether you are
a homeowner or a builder, our water-based stains and
sealers allow us to give you an even, finished
appearance with a minimum of disruption in your
schedule.
We take great care to protect everything that isn't
supposed to get stained. This includes windows,
doorknobs, thresholds, plants, rockwork, cars, and
ornaments. Make sure everything is covered or moved
inside before you let anyone work on your log home, even
if they are only brushing. It's very easy to drip stain
from a brush when applying the right amount.
What Is Staining?
It may seem obvious, but staining is very different from
painting. Sure we use many of the same tools, but so do
framers and trim carpenters. The difference in procedure
and quality is obvious.
With staining, every imperfection in the surface becomes
magnified after stain is applied. We take a very careful
look at each side before we begin staining to make sure
we don't' stain over something that should be removed.
We make sure to work with the run of the logs or siding,
to make sure we don't get lap marks. We also make sure
to apply the proper number of coats, even when the
surface looks great after only one coat. The purpose of
multiple coats is to build protection up to a
sustainable level, not just to look good for a year and
then fail.
