Project Description

The Project

This Garibaldi Highlands home had its front stairs, landing, railings, planters, and posts and beam refinished with a solid colour stain. The existing semi-transparent stain had to be sanded off before the new coating could go on.

The crew sanded the old semi-transparent stain off the wood and applied SuperDeck Oil Solid Stain in a flat sheen over two coats to the stairs, landing, railings, planters, posts and beam.

The finished stairs and surrounding wood surfaces now carry a uniform solid stain. The client told us afterward, "I love the finish!" The work was completed in one day.
