The Kind Home Difference
The Kind Staining Process
Scheduling
Your dedicated Account Manager will work with your schedule to find the ideal time for you and your family to have your staining project completed.
We recommend staining between the months of May and October to ensure the best adhesion.
Color Selection
Once you’ve determined which stain finish will be used on your project, as recommended by your estimator, you just need to select a stain color and submit that with the online color release form.
Solid stains can be made in any exterior paint color.
Initial Walk-Through
You’ll meet with your in-field Project Manager or Paint Technician depending on the project to confirm your project details and make sure you are comfortable with the prep and stain process.
Stain Prep
To prep the surface of your home, fences, or pergolas failing stain will be scraped.
Decks will receive a light sanding to remove any flaking stain in order to prepare the surface for new stain.
Staining
Now for the best part; staining! Watch as your wood transform as our experienced paint technicians apply the appropriate stain product to full saturation.
This ensures a protective seal and durable finish.
Inspection Walk
You don’t pay a dime until a post job inspection is completed with your Project Manager or Paint Technician to ensure you are 100% satisfied with our work! For house staining, we’ll activate your warranty so your new stain is completely covered.
House Staining Warranty
4-YEAR WARRANTY
All house staining projects receive a 4-year warranty!
Decks, fences, and pergolas are not covered under warranty but we’re happy to help with regular maintenance with our Small Jobs program.

Questions
For most staining projects we use either Sherwin Williams Woodscapes or Superdeck depending on the project scope.
Do you offer interior staining or door refinishing services?
At this time we are unable to help with interior staining or door refinishing projects but if you contact our team in the office we’d be more than happy to provide you with a referral that can help!
How do I know which stain finish I should use?
The stain finish you should use will depend on the current stain finish and state of the wood to be stained. Your Estimator will make a recommendation at your initial consultation but always confirm your stain finish before selecting your stain color!
How do I choose a stain color?
Solid stains are available in any exterior paint color so you have many options when it comes to this stain finish. For transparent, semi-transparent, or semi-solid stains you’ll need to choose from pre-set colors which can be found in store or in digital form online. Just ask your Account Manager for help!
How many coats do you apply?
Industry wide there can be a lot of confusion and hair splitting when it comes to one coat of stain versus two coats. We are committed to providing you with the highest quality finished product that will be built to last. We guarantee full saturation. This means we will apply as much stain as is needed to full penetrate and saturate the wood. No more nickeling and diming over coats or worrying about unexpected additional expenses.
