Wood staining in Greater Boston that enhances natural grain and protects against moisture and UV damage where others fall short. We prep properly so the finish penetrates and lasts. Free estimates available.
Boston's housing stock is unlike anywhere else in the country. Pre-war brownstones, historic triple-deckers, modern condos, and commercial buildings all exist within blocks of each other — and each requires a different approach. We've worked across every Boston neighborhood and understand what each property type needs for wood staining to be done correctly.
Every wood staining project starts with a thorough assessment. We don't show up and start working — we walk the job first, identify what prep is needed, and scope the work correctly. Proper preparation is the difference between a result that lasts and one that fails within a few years. That's not how we operate.
We're a father-son team that's been working in Greater Boston since 2013. Washington has been in the trade for over 20 years — he's painted Back Bay brownstones, South Boston triple-deckers, Jamaica Plain Victorians, and commercial buildings across the city. That experience shows in how we approach every job.

Oil-based penetrating stains for exterior — they penetrate deeper and hold up better through freeze-thaw cycles than water-based. For interior wood, water-based stains have improved significantly and are our preferred choice for low VOC and easy cleanup. TWP exterior stains →
Sand with the grain to open wood pores, remove all dust, apply stain evenly and wipe excess before it dries. Prep determines penetration — stain on unsanded wood stays on the surface and peels like paint. Read the full guide →
Yes, but it needs to fully dry first — typically 6–12 months after installation. Wet pressure-treated wood rejects stain. We test moisture content before applying any coating.
Every 2–3 years for penetrating stains in Boston's climate. High-UV and high-traffic surfaces (horizontal decks) wear faster than vertical surfaces (fences, siding).
