Experience Our Local Painter’s Craftsmanship

This interior wood trim restoration project focused on restoring original Craftsman woodwork inside a four-story home in Berkeley, CA. Over time, the trim had lost its depth and showed signs of wear from years of use.

The process included stripping the existing finish, completing a stain color match, and applying new stain and varnish. Each step was done to bring out the natural beauty of the wood while keeping the original character of the home.

Over three weeks, the trim throughout the home was carefully refinished. The goal was to create a clean and consistent look while preserving the craftsmanship already in place.

Background Story:

Naya and Oliver reached out to Arana Craftsman Painters after working together on a previous home. This time, their focus was on restoring the interior details of their current property rather than repainting surfaces.

The home dates back to the early 1900s and includes detailed craftsman trim that adds a lot of personality to the space. Instead of replacing it, they wanted to bring it back to life and keep that original feel.

Arana Craftsman Painters worked closely with them to match the stain and keep the finish consistent from floor to floor. With a home this size, it was important that every level felt connected without losing the charm that made the space unique.

Scope of Services:

• Interior Wood Trim Restoration: All trim throughout the home was restored through a full refinishing process to improve appearance and durability.
• Wood Stripping: Old finishes were removed to expose the raw wood and prepare it for new stain.
• Stain Color Matching: A custom stain match was completed to keep the color consistent across all areas.
• Stain Application: A new stain was applied to enhance the natural grain and bring back depth to the wood.
• Varnish Finish: A protective varnish was added to seal the surface and help maintain the finish over time.

Project Cost: 

Approximately $40,000 for full interior wood trim restoration across the home.
