Pre-Stain Services FAQ
What are pre-stain services and how do they work?
Pre-stain services involve applying stain to wood materials before they are installed on your home or building. At Mountain Pro Painting’s Frisco, CO prefinish facility, siding and wood products go through a controlled process that includes sanding, specialty finishes like wire-brushing, and a flood coat application with full back-brushing. This ensures deep, even coverage that’s difficult to achieve once the material is already installed.
Why should I pre-stain wood siding instead of staining it after installation?
Pre-staining allows for a more consistent and thorough finish because every surface of the wood, including edges and hard-to-reach areas, is coated in a controlled environment. This process helps protect the material from moisture intrusion and UV damage right from the start, which can significantly extend the life of your siding compared to post-installation staining.
What types of wood products are best suited for pre-staining?
Pre-stain services are ideal for exterior wood siding, decorative shiplap, and other exposed wood materials used in residential or commercial construction. Any surface that will face outdoor elements can benefit from being treated before installation to improve durability and long-term performance.
