Exterior House Staining in Sausalito, CA

 Exterior House Staining in Sausalito, CA

Whenever home improvement topics come up, painting gets a lot of air time, and for good reason! It’s a key player in improving and enhancing just about any surface, inside or out.

But how about stain?

It’s too easy to neglect natural finishes, probably because they wear a little more gracefully than painted surfaces in a lot of cases. Ignoring faded stain is easier than ignoring chipped, peeling, or worn paint.

If we could leave you with one takeaway, it’s this: don’t miss out on routine staining and maintenance.

To differing degrees (depending on opacity), stain and sealer is an absolutely essential barrier for your home’s wood, locking out UV damage, insects, moisture, and more. When your stain breaks down, the wood is exposed to all sorts of threats and inevitable decay.

Showing your stained surfaces a little love is essential!

Staining Wood Shingles On a Sausalito Home

Our team just started the process of refinishing the exterior shingles on this Sausalito home. For now, these are in-progress pictures, so please stay tuned to our blog and social media to see the final results!

Here’s a quick peek at the process:

  • Complete project containment: as you can see, we masked and protected the surrounding surfaces and landscaping.

  • Next, we pressure washed the surfaces with a wood brightener. This product (a neutralizer) not only cleans the surface, but also improves the stain absorption.

  • Finally, we’ll stain the shingles.

Just like painting, staining requires a strict adherence to preparation procedures. This guarantees the best, and longest-lasting, results.

“It was a great experience working with MB Jessee. The crew was careful and thorough as they painted the house, sealed stucco cracks, repaired dry-rotted wood, stained the deck, etc. Robert, Gersson, Jose, and all of the people involved in the process from the estimate to the job completion were friendly and professional.”

“Matt, We are very happy with how all of the painting worked out. We were extremely impressed with the quality of the work in the bathroom. I liked working with Victor, he and Marvin were extremely conscientious about doing a great job, not just the minimum. I know the front door took a lot longer than you'd expected. But they did it PERFECTLY. We never thought it could turn out like that! Thanks again for the great work. We'll be calling you again in the future!”

“I had my wooden kitchen cabinets painted white. Anabal and Danielle were doing the job. I have nothing but praise for them. They came on time, cleaned up every day, were respective, friendly and helpful. If the rest of Jessee's crew are as great as Anabal and Danielle, this company will go far.”

“M.B. Jessee painted the exterior of my Spanish house over 9 years ago, and they did such an incredible job that they are still getting referrals from me today. The paint is holding up perfectly -- there is absolutely no peeling chipping or any other deterioration. I still remember that my final walk-through list consisted of items written on one side of a 3x5 index card (and I'm REAL picky about my house!) However, when Matt and I did that walk-through over HALF the items were no longer an issue, as his team had noticed them first and they had already been resolved.”

— JoAnn Newcomb

“Just wanted to let you know that the crew was great to have around the house for the past two weeks. All three of them were professional, courteous, and attentive to my thoughts/concerns and were extremely knowledgeable. They paid great attention to the detail and it shows.”

— Mark & Roberta Gross
