Questions & Answers

Stain & Lacquer FAQ

These are the questions clients ask most often before staining and clear-coating stairs, railings and woodwork.

Can you match my existing stain?

Often yes. We do sample testing first because wood species, age and previous coatings change the final colour.

What sheen should I choose?

For stairs and rails, many clients choose satin or semi-gloss for durability. We recommend based on traffic and style.

How long does it take?

It depends on prep and dry times. We’ll confirm a schedule that fits your Edmonton timeline and site access.

Will it smell strong?

We use systems designed to perform well and manage odour. We also plan ventilation and staging for occupied homes.
