Stripping is more than just removing color; it is about preparing a clean, neutral canvas for the next phase of restoration. Once the old finish is dissolved and washed away, we meticulously inspect the wood for any necessary repairs, such as loose joinery, scratches, or dents that were previously hidden.
A thorough stripping job eliminates issues like fish-eye or peeling that can occur when new stain is applied over residue. We ensure that every nook and cranny is free of old wax and oils, providing a porous surface that will accept new stains and topcoats evenly for a professional-grade result.
Our shop handles the entire sequence from the initial chemical strip to the final neutralization and light sanding. This comprehensive preparation guarantees that whether you choose a clear coat to highlight natural beauty or a deep stain for a dramatic look, the final product will be smooth, durable, and beautiful.
