Wood Staining FAQs
Most kitchens take 4–7 days: removal and prep, spraying, reinstallation, and touch-ups. You'll have limited kitchen access during spraying days.
Absolutely — light over dark or dark over light both work with proper priming. Bold colors are popular for islands paired with neutral perimeter cabinets.
Specialists spray doors and drawer fronts for the smoothest finish; boxes are typically sprayed in place with full masking. Brushing is reserved for touch-ups.
Interiors are usually left as-is unless requested — most quotes cover exterior faces, doors, and drawer fronts. Ask if you want interiors finished too.
Partially. Expect limited access on spray days due to masking and drying. Your painter will outline the schedule so you can plan around it.
