Wood Refinishing Services in Los Angeles
Wood refinishing brings tired trim, doors, banisters, and built-ins back to life without replacing them — stripping old finish, sanding back to bare wood, and applying new stain or clear coat to restore the original grain and depth.
We handle wood refinishing as a standalone service or bundled into a larger interior repaint when a home has original wood trim or millwork worth preserving rather than painting over.
What's Included
Stripping and sanding
Old finish, varnish, or paint removed down to bare, workable wood.
Stain matching
New stain matched to existing woodwork elsewhere in the home where needed.
Clear coat and sealing
Polyurethane or lacquer topcoats applied for durability and sheen.
Trim, doors, and banisters

Repair before refinishing
Minor wood damage or gouges repaired before sanding and finishing.
Interior and some exterior wood
Front doors and exterior trim refinishing available with weather-rated finishes.
Our Wood Refinishing Process
- Assessment — We evaluate the wood's condition and confirm whether refinishing or replacement makes more sense.
- Stripping and sanding — Old finish is stripped and the surface sanded progressively smooth.
- Staining — Stain applied and matched to existing woodwork where relevant, with dry time between coats.
- Sealing — A clear protective topcoat is applied for durability and the desired sheen.
