Chatham Wood Staining
Why should you re-stain you wood?
Refresh the look
Re-staining your wooden furniture or surfaces is a great way to breathe new life into them. Over time, natural wear and tear can cause the wood to look dull and faded. Re-staining can help revive its original vibrancy and beauty.
Protect from wear
Wood that is left untreated or unstained is vulnerable to scratches, nicks, and other blemishes. Staining your wood provides an extra layer of protection against daily wear and tear.
Extend the lifespan
Lastly, restaining your wood can help extend its lifespan. By protecting it from the elements and preserving its natural beauty, you can help ensure that your wood lasts for years to come.

An inside to our process
1.Choosing the Colour of the Stain
Choosing the right colour for your wood staining/deck staining project is essential to achieving the desired look. When selecting a colour, it’s important to consider the type of wood you are working with and the existing decor in the space. For example, if you’re working with light-coloured wood like pine or birch, then light and neutral colours may be the best option to make the wood stand out. If you are working with dark wood, such as mahogany or teak, then rich and deep colours will work better.
2. Prepare the surfaces with sanding or power washing
Preparing the surface of the wood before staining is one of the most important steps in achieving professional-looking results. To properly prepare the wood, it must be power washed and sanded down to remove any dirt, dust, or other impurities that might interfere with the stain’s ability to penetrate and adhere to the wood. Power washing & Sanding also helps to smooth out the surface, ensuring an even application of stain.
3. Apply stain to the wooden surfaces using a brush or a rag
Applying Stain once the wood has been properly prepared, it’s time to apply the stain. This can be done using a brush or a rag, depending on your preferred method and style. It’s important to work in small sections at a time so that the stain has enough time to penetrate and dry evenly. Once your wood staining/ deck staining project is complete, it’s important to take steps to maintain and protect the finished look.
4. Let the stain dry completely
Once the stain has been applied, it’s important to let it dry completely before applying any additional coats. The amount of time that a stain needs to dry can vary depending on the type of wood and the temperature of the room. It’s best to allow at least 24 hours for each coat of stain to dry before proceeding with the next coat.
5. Final step is to seal the stain with a coat of sealer or transparent stain
Once the stain has been applied and allowed to dry, it’s important to seal the wood with a coat of sealer. A sealer is necessary to protect the wood against fading, chipping, and other damage caused by wear and tear. It also helps to preserve the colour of the stain for a longer period. The type of sealer you choose will depend on the type of wood that you are working with and the finish you want to achieve.
