Should you Paint or Stain your southern pine walls?

This is not an attempt to avoid the answer but this is personal but here is how my decision is made. “I would always paint, if budget is an issue buy from the clearance rack, if not buy Monocoat by Rubio because it is zero VOC. The clearance rack is actually a green choice because it could be used for a lot worse things that have a much shorter life. And, if you use 3/4 boards, one day someone will take them down and that paint can be sanded done to a form a undertone which is big money if done by finish shop!” (Jason Howard, 2024}. Now that is my take on things but it is far from the norm because I love to make new floors look old; an old coat of paint or new one, sanded off can be made to look very cool. (See below).

Reclaimed Pine Wall Skins: The ultimate repurpose

Well, at least I hope you think it looks “cool”, that photo is my work and our guest bathroom. Here is an example of wood painted, sanded, stained and finished. The point? Painting our gorgeous Southern Pine and your are 1/4 of the way there already. And before you say the stain would do the same thing, it does not. It is far more uniform, for age, and certainly for anyone trying to distress their floor (former walls) paint is easy one you get the prototype. Call me for more, I am running out of room.

Wyoming and Montana Southern Pine

Walls and Other

Two similarities in Wyoming and Montana residents, love of our Southern Pine floors and very easy to deal with as customers. To be clear, we understand the difference between Wyoming and Montana about as well as their residents understand the difference between Alabama and Tennessee but we know pine. Ask the question what is the first thing that pops into your mind when you hear WY or MT? Southerners would answer cowboys or Yellowstone. Folks from WY and MT, probably Country Music and NASCAR. As an LSU fan, Louisiana born and raised, yes, leaving out football was intentional. The differences may be subtle, however the common characteristics are easy to identify. 

Kimmerer WY

Residents from both states are laid back and easy to talk with about anything, not just cowboys. In fact, there seems to be some southern accent with some residents. Kimmerer WY 2020, “it shore is purtty”, of course he wrote this to us in hopes we would understand, very funny LM. The bunk bed photo goes along with this same customer, he is right though it is pretty. The floors are 7” Longleaf Heart Pine with Bona Natural clear high traffic, very nice. 

Love these helmets

The University of Wyoming Cowboys

Whoa, not Wyoming or Montana Cowboys rather the U of WY located Laramie and founded in 1866. If you are not familiar with their helmets you are not a college football fan, they are classic. Nothing against the Grizzly or on the helmets of the University of Montana but that Cowboy just stays with you after having played against them many years ago. One Cowboy alumni and our first builder from Wyoming and Montana, enjoys reminding me of this from time to time. 

Pioneer Log and Timber of Montana

Pioneer Log and Timber, a Montana customer we brag about, all the time. Why not? Visit the website and the fog will lift. MT log and timber, uses the type of materials we have specially milled per project requirements, both floors and walls. The obvious implication, if our company fits with PLT of Montana you should feel pretty good about our products. Yes, we confirm our implication while extending an offer to prove it.

Shipping cost to WY and MT

From New Orleans to Butte Montana, 2085 miles, and those floors originate in Honduras. Alabama is closer but , yes shipping costs exist. Alabama Heart Pine grows in Alabama, any Southern Pine has shipping cost to WY and MT even if seconds from a lumber yard. However, shipping costs represent part of the mill to customer process, normally they do not connect directly. SYP Direct allows residents in Wyoming and Montana to purchase mature southern pine in long lengths without removing one of the most important characteristics, price. In other words, shipping costs to WY and Montana, not prohibitive. You can get the floor that belongs in your home forever. Yes forever, we sell the kind of pine that someone will reclaim one day making Grizzlies and Cowboys happy.

The Caribbean in Cheyenne

In March of 2018, we sent Caribbean Heart Pine to Cheyenne Wyoming. Our customer chose the 5″ rustic grade, with knots and a minimum of 85% heart pine content, aka heart content. SYP Direct shipped our first Southern Pine floors to Wyoming and Montana in 2014 but this was our first shipment of Caribbean Heart Pine, which we began offering in 2016. Rustic Caribbean Heart Pine is gorgeous, no doubt but most WY and MT residents prefer domestic. It does not matter if you want authentic Southern Pine shipped to Wyoming or Montana, SYP Direct has you covered. Nobody beats our customer service, quality or prices- nobody.
