Our Story

Built on Tradition,
Driven by Passion

Bechtel's Stain Shop was founded on a simple belief: every piece of furniture deserves to be treated with the same care and attention as when it was first crafted. What started as a one-man operation in a garage has grown into Walla Walla's most trusted refinishing workshop.

We've refinished everything from Victorian-era dining sets to mid-century modern favorites, from weathered deck furniture to kitchen cabinets that needed a second life. No project is too big or too small — what matters is the result, and we don't stop until it's right.

Quality First

We use premium stains, finishes, and techniques that stand the test of time.

Local & Trusted

Proudly serving Walla Walla and the Tri-Cities community for over 25 years.

On Time, Every Time

We respect your schedule and deliver on our promised timelines.

Client Feedback

What Our Customers Say

"They took my grandmother's dining table — which had seen better days — and made it look absolutely stunning. The stain color matched perfectly, and the finish is flawless. I couldn't be happier."

Margaret T. Walla Walla, WA

"We had our kitchen cabinets refinished instead of replaced, and the result blew us away. It looked like a brand-new kitchen for a fraction of the cost. Professional, punctual, and incredibly skilled."

David R. Pasco, WA

"I brought in a 100-year-old rocking chair that my great-aunt left me. Bechtel's restored it beautifully — they respected the history while making it solid and safe to use again. Truly an artist at work."
