Custom Stains & Varnishes

Bring out the natural beauty of wood with custom stains and varnishes applied by experienced finish carpenters and painters.

Why Custom Stains & Varnishes Matter

Off-the-shelf stain colors rarely match existing wood tones, and varnish applied without proper prep rarely lasts. Phinney Ridge Painting custom-mixes stains to match your existing floors, trim, or cabinets, and applies high-performance varnishes that protect wood surfaces from moisture, UV, and everyday wear—critical for homes in the Pacific Northwest.

Custom Color Matching

We sample and mix stain formulas on-site until we achieve a tone that's indistinguishable from your existing wood finishes—ideal for repairs, additions, or refinishing partial areas.

Interior Wood Finishing

Floors, staircases, cabinets, built-ins, doors, and trim all receive the same careful surface prep, grain-raising, and multi-coat application process for a rich, even finish.

Exterior Stain & Sealant

Decks, fences, cedar siding, and exterior millwork are stained and sealed with products formulated to resist PNW rain, UV fading, and mildew growth.

How Phinney Ridge Painting Can Help

We're not a flooring company or a cabinet shop—we're finishing specialists. That means every wood surface we touch gets proper preparation, correct product selection, and skilled application technique. The result is a finish that looks custom because it is.

Precision Color Matching

Using industry-grade tinting systems and on-site test panels, we dial in the exact tone before committing to the full surface.

Quality Materials

We use the best paints and materials available to ensure a vibrant, long-lasting finish that withstands PNW weather.

Premium Products

We work with top-tier stains and varnishes—Rubio Monocoat, Sikkens, Cabot, and others—chosen for longevity and appearance in the Pacific Northwest climate.

Surface Prep Expertise

Proper sanding, cleaning, and wood conditioning are what separate a lasting finish from one that peels in two years. We never skip this step.
