Measured contract rate to prepare sound, exposed timber, stain it and apply three coats of varnish. Stripping a failed finish, repairing veneer and replacing rotten wood are separate.
Budget estimate. Send photos and measurements for a written quote.
Condition and preparation
Identify wood species where possible, previous varnish, veneer thickness and any dark water marks. Trial sanding and colour on a hidden area.
Materials and application
Prepare along the grain as appropriate and remove dust before finishing. Compare a dry sample because clear coats and stains change the apparent tone. Trial the varnish over a filled spot as well as bare timber to judge how both look when clear-coated.
What to put in the quotation
For the quotation, include timber species if known, old finish and an area for the sample. Clarify which faces, hardware removal and off-site finishing are in the quoted scope.
Frequently asked questions
Can clear varnish hide filler patches?
Compare the dry sample over both timber and filler. Replacing a damaged piece or choosing an opaque finish may give a more even appearance.
How should I look after the finish?
Use a soft cloth and avoid harsh solvents. Keep the product details; a clear repair can look different where the old wood has aged.
