Natural Wood Finishes

A properly restored home is only complete when the woodwork is returned to its natural luster and color. Multiple coats of varnish and shellac over the years can lead to alligatored finishes and nearly opaque coloration. At Catchlight Painting, we distinguish ourselves from other companies by attending to this vital aspect of your living space.

Replacing durable, old-growth wood with new plantation-grown and engineered materials is a poor substitute. You do not add to the value of your home by placing cheap products over valuable, albeit worn material.

At Catchlight, Inc., we use a variety of non-toxic materials to remove old finishes and restore the original beauty of your wood.
