JDR Painting recently completed a unique and specialized project for SC Johnson, refinishing the teak furniture from one of their properties.

This marks the third time we’ve been trusted with this type of work, underscoring our client’s confidence in our craftsmanship and attention to detail.

The project involved transporting all the teak furniture to our shop, where we followed a meticulous multi-step restoration process. First, we applied an acid-etching solution to strip away the existing finish, followed by a thorough power washing to remove any remaining residue. Once the wood was prepped, we stained and sealed each piece to restore the teak’s rich, original appearance—giving new life to high-end, outdoor furniture that withstands the elements with style.

Project Highlights:

  • Specialized teak furniture refinishing—a rare service few companies offer

  • Full in-house process, including stripping, staining, and sealing

  • Expertise trusted by a major corporate client for multiple projects

While SC Johnson is an industrial client, this project showcases JDR’s ability to deliver custom, high-end finishes that don’t fit neatly into typical industrial, commercial, or retail categories. It highlights the versatility of our team and our capacity to handle distinctive projects with care and precision.
