Don’t Hesitate to Call Our Team for Help with Staining

Staining cedar protects and preserves wood while also enhancing its natural beauty. Stains can do a great job of keeping excess moisture from seeping into your wood and provide protection against changes in weather, insects, and other conditions. In different seasons, cedar will expand and contract. Since the weather in Indiana is extreme, it’s extremely important to make sure your cedar stain is the right one. Our team at Elite Pro Painting can provide you with help that gets you the best possible stain for your cedar.

Cedar Wood Staining

Staining Cedar Wood

There are two types of wood stains fitting to be used on cedar: solid and semi-transparent. Solid stains may use a primer, but only if there is currently a latex solid stain already applied. If there is currently an oil solid stain, then the same would be used over the top of the wood. Semi-transparent stains are stains that allow the natural beauty of the wood, keeping the grain very visible. Unlike solid stains, which cover more like a paint, oil stains enhance the grain lines and create contrast within the wood itself.

The Final Look

Wood stains range from clear coats which showcase cedar’s natural color, to the darker stains. We offer a wide array of options so we can best match your exterior color scheme. The final color of your siding will depend on the wood’s natural color prior to staining, as well as the stain itself. For instance, with the same stain on a red cedar wood will naturally end up a much deeper hue than on white cedar.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Elite Pro Painting is the best! We always knew we would use them when the time came due to interactions with the owners in the past. Their crew was extremely professional and did an excellent job for us. They went above and beyond expectations. From start to finish with Robert giving us the estimate and necessary information to the end of the project, it was a great experience. Jamie is most excellent in her job as a project manager. Marybelle, Oswaldo, and Ivan worked nonstop to get the work done. We appreciated their kindness and patience with us and our requests. We recommend them highly to anyone who needs interior or exterior painting done.

They arrived promptly when they said, and had amazing communication throughout the entire process. Jamie, the project manager was incredible! I knew what to expect every step of the way and she kept checking in with me to make sure I was happy with everything. I thought the process would be a lot harder and a lot longer, but they were very efficient. Not even a piece of tape was left in my yard!  They prepped and cleaned up beautifully. 10 out of 10 would recommend to everyone!
