Steven D. Petersen offers over 30 years experience in interior wood finishing projects.

An essential part of a successful project is the Sample Process.

• Retain examples of all old (existing, demo-ed) and new wood in the project
• Listen to customer / designer / architect needs and aesthetic preferences
• Develop formulations, techniques, and processes to meet the customer's goals
• Finish the customer's wood sample and return for approval
• Get feedback/interact to refine the finish (hue, depth, wood preparation techniques, other creative solutions)
• Customer chooses the sample (signs and dates) approving the process described on individual label

Approved finishing systems can be applied by a contractor of your choice, when we have determined the precise formulation and processes for your project. Or, Steven D. Petersen can perform the finishing on-site or in some instances off-site.
