Expert Wood Care & Exterior Refinishing Services

We restore and refinish a wide variety of exterior wood species commonly found throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, including redwood, cedar, Ipe, teak, Douglas fir, pressure-treated lumber, and many other hardwoods and softwoods. Every wood species has unique characteristics, so we select the proper cleaning, preparation, and staining system to ensure long-lasting protection and a beautiful finish. If you're unsure what type of wood you have, we'll identify it during your free on-site estimate and recommend the best restoration approach.

Yes. In fact, sealing and staining new wood is one of the best ways to protect your investment. We recommend allowing certain wood species to weather for an appropriate period when necessary, then applying a high-quality stain or penetrating finish that protects against UV exposure, moisture, mildew, and premature aging. We'll recommend the right timing and finish based on your wood species and the product used for your project.

Yes. In many cases, weathered or gray wood can be successfully restored. Our restoration process removes dirt, mildew, failed finishes, and surface oxidation before preparing the wood for a new protective stain or sealer. While severely deteriorated or damaged boards may require repair or replacement, most exterior wood can be restored to a beautiful, natural appearance with the proper preparation and refinishing techniques.

Both paint and stain can protect a wood fence, but the best choice depends on the look you want and the condition of the wood. Stain penetrates the wood, highlights the natural grain, and is generally easier to maintain over time. Paint provides a solid-color finish that completely covers the wood grain but typically requires more preparation and maintenance as it ages. During your free estimate, we'll evaluate your fence and recommend the option that's best suited to your goals and the condition of the wood.

The right stain or finish depends on the wood species, its current condition, the amount of sun and weather exposure, and the look you want to achieve. We typically recommend high-quality penetrating stains and finishes because they protect the wood from UV exposure and moisture while allowing the natural grain to show through. During your free on-site estimate, we'll recommend the best product and finish for your specific project to ensure long-lasting beauty and protection.

Most wood decks should be cleaned and inspected annually, with refinishing typically needed every 2–5 years depending on the wood species, sun exposure, weather conditions, foot traffic, and the type of finish previously applied. Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your deck and prevents costly repairs by protecting the wood from UV damage, moisture, and premature weathering.

Every project begins with a thorough evaluation of the wood's condition. Depending on the needs of your project, our restoration process may include cleaning, stripping or sanding, repairs, brightening, neutralizing, and careful surface preparation before applying a premium stain, sealer, or protective finish. Because every wood species and project is different, we tailor our approach to achieve the best possible results and long-lasting protection.

The timeline depends on the size of the project, the condition of the wood, the services being performed, and weather conditions.
