Chair Stain Project in Medicine Hat, AB

CertaPro Painters® of Southern Alberta received the opportunity to paint two Muskoka chairs made from Ontario eastern white pine. These particular chairs were stained and purposely ‘aged’ to present a classic look while protecting them from the elements. With no right or wrong way to apply the distressed look, CertaPro’s team used their professional experience to create an appealing design. CertaPro Painters® of Southern Alberta are equipped to handle tasks of any sizes and to meet the customer’s unique needs.
