Woodwork and Trim Staining Contractor in New Jersey

Your home is a reflection of your personal style—and few things elevate a space like beautifully stained woodwork and trim. Whether you’re restoring historic charm or adding a refined finish to new construction, properly stained wood details bring warmth, richness, and a sense of craftsmanship that painted surfaces just can’t match.

At Bigwoods Custom Painting, we offer professional woodwork staining and trim staining services that focus on both appearance and longevity. Our team works closely with homeowners and contractors throughout New Jersey and surrounding areas to deliver superior finishes that enhance the character of your interiors.

Why Staining Woodwork Matters

Wood is one of the most timeless materials used in homes, but how it’s treated makes a big difference. Staining highlights the grain and texture of the wood, giving it depth and warmth that paint can often mask. With the right stain and finish, your trim, baseboards, crown moulding, doors, window frames, and built-ins can become standout features—not just finishing touches.

Staining also provides a level of protection against wear and tear, moisture, and fading. With professional application, your stained woodwork will resist everyday scuffs and maintain its look for years to come.

Our Detailed Staining Process

At Bigwoods Custom Painting, staining isn’t a quick job—it’s a craft. We believe in taking the time to do things right, using only high-quality products and proven techniques. Here's what you can expect when you hire us for woodwork and trim staining:

1. Preparation and Protection

We start by carefully prepping the area. That includes protecting your floors and surrounding surfaces with drop cloths and masking tape. If we're staining existing wood, we’ll clean and lightly sand it to remove any dirt, finish, or inconsistencies.

2. Wood Conditioning

Some types of wood—especially softwoods like pine—can absorb stain unevenly. In these cases, we apply a wood conditioner that helps ensure consistent color and absorption across the entire surface.

3. Custom Stain Matching

Already have stained woodwork in your home that you want to match? No problem. We offer custom stain matching services to create a seamless look, whether you're adding new trim or refinishing old pieces.

4. Expert Application

We apply the stain by hand, using brushes and cloths for precision and control. After application, we allow the stain to penetrate the wood before wiping away the excess. This allows the color to build gradually and evenly, avoiding blotchy or streaky results.

5. Protective Finish

Once the stain has dried fully, we apply a durable clear topcoat—usually polyurethane or lacquer—to seal in the color and protect the surface from moisture, scratches, and UV exposure. Depending on the look you’re going for, we can use matte, satin, semi-gloss, or high-gloss finishes.

Clean-Up and Final Touches

After the job is complete, we clean the work area thoroughly, perform a quality inspection, and walk through everything with you to make sure you're thrilled with the results.

WHO WE ARE

Choosing the Right Stain

Stain isn’t one-size-fits-all. The color and type you choose can dramatically impact the final result. We’ll help you select from a wide variety of tones, from natural or golden finishes to rich, dark espresso or walnut hues. We also work with oil-based and water-based stains, depending on the project’s needs and your preferences.

If you’re unsure what would look best, we can test stain samples on-site so you can see how they’ll look with your lighting and decor before committing.

Wood Staining vs. Painting: Which Is Right for You?

This is a common question we get from homeowners. The choice between painting and staining depends on the type of wood, the aesthetic you're going for, and the level of maintenance you’re comfortable with.
Staining

enhances the natural beauty of the wood. It's ideal if you have high-quality wood or want a warm, classic look.

Painting

covers the wood grain but allows for more color flexibility and can provide a modern or clean aesthetic.

It depends on the look you're going for. Stain highlights the natural grain of the wood and offers a warm, timeless appearance. Paint, on the other hand, gives a clean and often more modern finish. If you have beautiful wood and want to showcase its character, staining is the way to go.
