Wood coating
Protect doors, decks, pergolas and trim with stain, oil or varnish.
Overview
Wood that stays warm, not grey
Unprotected wood in Aruba greys, dries out and splits within a few seasons: UV breaks down the surface and salt air speeds it up. The right coating (a penetrating oil, a stain or a varnish with UV protection) keeps the grain visible and the wood sealed. It needs a clean, sanded surface and fresh coats on a regular rhythm.
Scope

- Doors, windows, decks, pergolas, fences and trim
Process
How the job runs
Inspection
We check the wood for rot, old finishes and moisture, and recommend a finish.
Preparation
Cleaning and sanding; badly weathered wood gets a full sanding first.
Coating
Coats go on in the order the product needs, with drying time between them.
Hand-over
A final look together, with advice on when the next coat is due.
Warranty and limits
Good to know
- Rot
- Soft or rotten wood is not coated over. We show it to you, and it is replaced or referred before we finish.
- Warranty
- Up to 6 months on the finish we apply, for cosmetic issues such as peeling, flaking or blistering. It never covers the structure underneath.
