Step 1

Pick Your Project

It all starts with what you plan on staining. ProjectHelp guides you through the planning process starting with what type of project you are working on:

  • deck

  • fence

  • exterior furniture

  • siding/shingles

  • structures, like a pergola or a gazebo

We'll still be able to walk you through whatever your project may be, but those tend to be the most common.

Step 2

Tell Us About Your Wood

Next, we'll need to know:

  • what kind of wood you're working with

  • what shape it's in

A stain that functions properly for your wood stain project's objective is key. Our diverse product offering has something special for nearly every type and condition of wood, so it's important that we understand exactly what to recommend.

Step 3

Tell Us the Condition of the Wood

We'll ask you questions about the condition of your wood:

  • How much wood grain is showing

  • What look you would like to achieve

You might have a new deck with unfinished, pressure treated lumber, or an old cedar gazebo that's grown weathered. The possibilities are vast, but ProjectHelp was designed with that diversity in mind.
