Exterior Staining in Nanaimo, BC: Refreshed 4,136 Sq Ft Home

Project Description

A 4,136 sq ft home has a lot of exposed wood, and each surface needs the right finish for its job. This exterior staining in Nanaimo, BC covered the whole house, from the shingle siding to the soffits overhead. On Vancouver Island, outdoor wood stays wet for much of the year, so product choice matters.

The Bigger Picture Painting crew matched three products to three wood surfaces. Trim and garage doors got a translucent wood finish. They refinished and clear-coated soffits and outdoor ceilings. The siding was sprayed and back-rolled. This exterior wood staining keeps the grain visible. The project took 3.5 weeks.

Project Scope: Exterior Staining in Nanaimo, BC

Shingle Siding

The shingle siding is the largest surface on the house. The crew sprayed the stain first, then back-rolled it. Spraying reaches the gaps between shingles. Back-rolling works the stain into the wood and evens out the color. The stain was tinted to a custom color match.

Window Frames, Door Frames, and Garage Door Frames

We stained every window frame, door frame, and garage door frame. Frames sit next to glass and hardware, so this step calls for clean edges.

Fascia

The fascia boards along the roofline got the same product used on the frames, keeping the trim color consistent.

Beams and Posts

The beams and posts received the same exterior stain as the fascia and frames.

Garage Doors

The garage doors were stained to match the surrounding frames and trim.

Wooden Soffits

The wooden soffits were refinished first, then sealed with a clear stain. This keeps the natural wood tone on display under the eaves.

Outdoor Ceilings

The outdoor ceilings received the same clear finish as the soffits.

That is ten surface areas and three products. See how Bigger Picture Painting handles exterior painting in Nanaimo and across Vancouver Island.

Paints & Products Used

Each product was chosen for the surface it covers, not applied as one-size-fits-all:

SICO ProLuxe CETOL 23 on all fascia, beams, posts, garage doors, window frames, door frames, and garage door frames. It is a translucent wood finish made for doors, windows, and trim the parts of a home that see the most handling and weather.
Minwax Helmsman Spar Urethane, Clear Satin, on all wooden soffits and outdoor ceilings. Spar urethane is built for outdoor wood and is made to flex as wood swells and shrinks with the seasons.
WeatherOne Semi-Transparent Acrylic, tinted to a color match, on all shingle siding. A semi-transparent stain adds color while letting the wood grain show through.

That match is what makes this exterior staining in Nanaimo, BC, built to fit each surface.
