Why is my wood blotchy after staining?

• <div><p>Wood can appear blotchy after staining due to uneven absorption, which happens when the wood has varying grain density. The denser the grain, the less the stain will be absorbed. This can cause the wood to appear uneven in color, with some areas darker than others. </p><p>To prevent this issue, apply a wood conditioner before staining. Wood conditioners help to equalize the absorption of the stain, resulting in a more even finish. There are many different types of wood conditioners available, so be sure to choose one that is appropriate for the type of wood you are staining.</p></div>

Q: What kind of paper is used to wrap furniture?

• <div><p>Paper moving pads, also called furniture wrapping paper or paper moving blankets, are sheets of recycled paper used to protect various items during moving. Similar to traditional moving blankets, paper pads are also reusable, making them a sustainable and cost-effective option for protecting your belongings during the moving process. Although they&rsquo;re recycled, they still provide excellent protection against dust, dirt, and scratches.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance do experts recommend post-refinishing?

• <div><p>Use rugs in high-traffic areas, immediately clean up spills, and do regular dust mopping.</p></div>

Q: Can pros change the stain color during refinishing?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals can change the stain color during refinishing by stripping old finishes and applying new stain. They offer expert color matching and application methods, resulting in a refreshed look that aligns with the homeowner's design preferences.</p></div>

Q: How do you declutter for the holidays?

• <div><p>Strat decluttering for the holidays by removing trash and organizing items into different piles that you&rsquo;ll keep, donate and toss out. Whatever you intend to keep, find a specific place for it, and if you buy something, get rid of an item that&rsquo;s taking up space. Start small, go room-by-room, and don&rsquo;t try to declutter all at once&mdash;doing so can get overwhelming.</p></div>

Quite well. Mr. Anders was punctual, professional, and he got spots out of the carpets that I didn't think could be cleaned. He moved furniture, including a king bed. His equipment was surprisingly quiet while he was working. The carpets were dry enough to use in about 3 hours.

"Very please with the project. We had Abe build two custom dressers. We wanted them to match the ones we already had. Karla and Abe came , listened to us, and the end product was excellent. They were very courteous, professional and finished the work on time. We were kept informed of the project status. The workmanship is flawless. We wanted a small stool built as an aside. It was made perfectly, exactly how we wanted, and they did not even charge us for it!! We will surely use they again. We very highly recommend them."
