Stain, Sealer, or Lacquer — What’s the Difference?
Staining adds color while showcasing natural grain. Choose from transparent to semi-solid looks depending on species and desired warmth.
Sealing locks in color, blocks everyday moisture, and provides a base for additional topcoats; think of it as the foundation of durability.
Lacquering builds a smooth, high-performance film (from matte to high-gloss) with excellent clarity and scratch resistance—perfect for cabinets and trim that get daily use.
Finish sheens: dead-flat/matte for a natural look, satin for soft elegance, semi-gloss for added wipe-ability, and high-gloss for a dramatic, glassy depth.
Our Step-by-Step Process (What You Can Expect)
Consultation & Samples – We review goals, advise on species behavior (oak, maple, alder, walnut), and produce sample boards or test areas for your approval.
Jobsite Protection – Masking, plastic containment, ZipWalls, and dust extraction to protect adjacent rooms and HVAC.
Prep & Repair – Cleaning/deglossing, sanding sequences, grain-filling where appropriate, caulking gaps, and spot repairs for dents/scratches.
Color Work – Custom blends or color-matched stains, even-coat techniques, and timing control for consistent tone.
Sealing & Build – Sealer coat(s) for adhesion and clarity; sanding between coats for flatness.
Lacquer Topcoats – Pro-grade, low-odor systems applied via HVLP/airless-fine-finish for uniform film build and lasting protection.
Cure & Quality Check – Proper cure windows, hardware reinstallation, and a final walkthrough to confirm everything meets your expectations.

FAQs (People Also Ask)
Q1: Can you lacquer over stained wood?
Yes—once stain is fully dry and sealed, we build lacquer in thin, level coats for clarity and durability. Proper sanding between coats ensures a glass-smooth finish.
Q2: How long does the process take for a typical kitchen?
Most 10–15 door/drawer kitchens take 3–5 days on site, depending on prep, color changes, and coat counts. Larger or heavily damaged sets can run longer to achieve factory-level results.
Q3: Is lacquer safe to use indoors?
We use low-odor, professional systems, isolate the area with masking and ventilation, and comply with manufacturer guidelines to keep your home comfortable and safe during the project.
Q4: Will you help me choose a stain color that fits my space?
Absolutely. We create sample boards and test patches under your lighting so you can confidently choose the tone, depth, and sheen that complement your floors, counters, and decor.
