Mister Wood

Darlene and Jeremy are masters at their craft. They stripped many layers of paint from our trim, and stained them to perfection to match the rest of the house. Very happy with the service. Exceeded our expectations.

Very pleased that Rick McLaughlin of McLaughlin Flooring referred me to Darlene and Jeremy at Mr. Wood. Until I spoke with Darlene I hadn't received a proposal for refinishing my stairs that I was comfortable with. They all involved dismantling my stairs to some degree and taking them away to be worked on elsewhere. Mr. Wood's approach where everything is done on site felt right- and given the finished product selecting them was a good call! The treads, stringers and handrail were taken right down to bare wood, sanded to bring out the natural grain in the wood, stained to perfectly match hardwood flooring on my second level and then lacquered to a beautiful finish. We are very happy with our "new" stairs! Great job Darlene and Jeremy!

I have nothing but good things to say about this company. They did an amazing job in colour matching my stairs to the floor. They were so professional and answered all the questions I had. Jeremy and Ean did a great job in making sure that all areas where covered and protected so that no stain would go on my walls or unwanted areas. My Stairs turned out amazing and I am very happy with the quality and service I received. Thank you so much.

Mr Wood took on the unpleasant task of removing 100 years of old paint from the beautiful oak trim in my house, and they did it in a timely and professional manor. About a year later, I called them back to strip the staircase. Again, done perfectly and at a price that is very reasonable. They also imparted me with their years of experience and suggested the best stain and varnish for me to finish the project. I will certainly call them again in the future.

About 30 years ago we moved into a home that was 100+ years old. Much of the woodwork in the front hall had multiple coats of paint including porch paint grey. After a couple of years, we contacted Mister Wood who did a fantastic job of removing the paint and refinishing the wood. We also had them refinish the very detailed wood on the front door and the staircase and railings. They did a fantastic job.

Recently we looked at the woodwork in our dining room and the various doors in the house. Again, all had multiple coats of paint that needed to be removed. We were thrilled that Mister Wood was still in business. They are a fabulous company to work with. They came when they said they would and did a beautiful job of stripping and refinishing the old woodwork and another detailed door. It was a challenging job in the dining room as several different types of wood had been used. They did a great job of trying to minimize the appearance of different woods through the use of stain. They also finished a couple of new french doors and stripping & staining the tongue and groove cedar wainscotting on the front porch.

They cleaned up after themselves as they went along and at the end of each day. This makes it much easier to live with renovations. We recommend them highly and would love to work with them again.

We had never done any renoes before, so when we found ourselves faced with involuntary renovations due to a flood, we had no idea where to turn for on-site staining. But when I found a local family business that had been operating for more than 20 years, I knew I had found a winner. You just can't stay in business for that long in such a competitive environment unless you are very good at what you do.

We had some less-than-common requests for Mr. Wood: staining a new sliding door that was already installed and protecting an intricate Indonesian wood carving that I treasured. Darlene and Jeremy were great at explaining the steps of the work they were going to do and offering ideas for how best to protect the statue. Jeremy took the time to research how long I had had the carving, whether it had been exposed to any smoke, etc, to determine what the best approach would be. They also helped us understand why the wood on our front door was showing cracks and what we could do to protect it.

When you're having work done that is not easy to undo, or when people are working on items that could never be replaced, finding people you can trust is critical. Mr. Wood did a great job with all three projects and I really appreciated how responsive Darlene and Jeremy were. After finishing the custom stain on the sliding door they even left us a small jar for touch ups just in case we needed it in the future. I wholeheartedly recommend their work, and will be calling them in the future if we need any more staining done.
