Exterior Trim & Cedar Stain in Madeira, OH

Paint forms a solid film that covers the grain; a semi-solid stain like River Wood soaks in, adds rich color, and still lets the natural texture and grain of the cedar show through. For beautiful wood like cedar siding and shutters, stain preserves that natural character while protecting it.

The contrast is what makes it striking. Crisp Tricorn Black on the trim creates a bold, modern frame, while the warm, natural River Wood stain on the cedar adds richness and depth. Pairing a clean painted element with natural wood tones gives an exterior a high-end, custom feel.

A semi-solid stain sits between a transparent stain and solid paint — it delivers strong, consistent color while still allowing the wood grain to show. It’s a great choice for cedar and shutters when you want rich color plus visible natural texture and solid weather protection.

We clean the surfaces, address any failing areas, and make sure the wood is sound and ready to accept the coating. Painted trim and stained cedar need slightly different handling, and matching the prep and product to each surface is what makes the finish last.
