Professional Finishing Blog

There are many types of finishers. The first and probably the most common is the do-it-yourself-er that for refinishes small tables, unfinished doors, and hardwood floors. Spray finishes are beyond his realm of expertise. The product that he may use comprises mostly of what can be bought at the local home improvement store.

Second we have cabinet makers and trim carpenters that finish their own projects because hiring a professional finisher is either overkill or cost prohibitive. Because the need to use more advanced finishes as a result of the need for better moisture protection in bathroom and kitchen situation, this type of finisher has had to master spray techniques with low tech spraying equipment.

Third we have the professional finisher/re-finisher that has refined his professional skills to do just about anything he needs to complete the job. Often, this type of finisher has his own refinishing shop or works in the residential construction industry on high end homes with large amounts of word work.

Fourth and lastly, we have the industrial finisher. This specialized finisher needs to do more, better, faster. Not only is a perfect finish needed or demanded, but it must be done with the highest efficiency. This blog will focus on this type of finisher. How to get more done, get it done better, and get it done faster. We will discuss various cost cutting techniques and improvements that can be made in every aspect of the finishing process that will eventually lead the company to profit and success.
