From unfinished wood to a finished match, here are a few examples of what the right stain color can do.
Custom stain match

A custom stain color developed specifically for these shutters to create the finished look the homeowner wanted.
Finding the right stain color
When standard stain colors don't work, I develop and test custom samples until we find the color that does.
Who I work with
Whether it's one staircase or a whole build, a proven color before staining starts saves everyone time.
- Homeowners
- Painters
- Builders
- Architects

- Flooring installers
Great stain matches start with testing—not guessing.
We test custom stain samples against the actual materials to get the color right before application begins.
Common questions
What do I need to send?
A few clear photos of what you're matching and a short note about the wood and where it's going. Photos in natural light help most.
Can you match stain to existing floors, cabinets, or trim?
Yes. Matching new wood to an existing finish is one of the most common reasons people call.
Do I need to call before staining starts?
It's the cheapest time to get it right. Builders, painters, and designers often reach out before the first coat goes on.
Where do you work?
I'm based in Baton Rouge. Send your project details and we'll talk through what's possible.
Tired of buying stain that doesn't match?
Stop guessing at stain colors. Send me a photo of your project, and I'll help you figure out the right direction before you buy another can.
Tell me about your stain project
Send me a few details about what you're trying to match. If you have photos, even better. They help me understand the project before we talk.
