Where to find a railing painter?

8 years ago

I’m having a new railing installed. However, the company does not stain the railing. They have me the numbers of 2 contractors who are supposed to be able to do it but apparently, they don’t know how to work with Maple.
I cannot find anybody to do this. It’s too late to cancel the railing. I’ve tried hardwood refinishers, handymen and house painters. We’re in Williamstown, NJ.

Have you tried a real paint store, maybe they know of someone. Maple is not hard to stain if properly treated with a wood conditioner.

Just keep trying. It's harder to finding a staining painter these days since stained trim is becoming less common.
