I had that problem when I replaced windows a few years ago. I ended up at my local Sherwin Williams. They custom mix paints, so I asked if they could do stains. They weren't able to scan my sample, but I left the sample piece of trim with a virgin piece and they played around until they got a very close match. Took them a few days playing with colors in between customers, but there was no charge for the service.

Patty, a while back I joined a forum called Nextdoor. It is a place for neighbors to meet and exchange ideas and talk about repair people, where to buy things, etc. Some of the ladies in my adjoining neighborhoods even get together for dinner, etc. once a month and opened up a facebook group. I've gotten the names of a lot of folks to do handyman work, house painting, etc. and they give honest opinions about who is good, who is too pricey, etc. Here's a link and you can check to see if your neighbors are a part of this: https://nextdoor.com/

Deb, I am in the house but will leave for five days in over a week. I really want to stay here so I need to quit my Saddleback Hospital volunteer job for good.

Patty, I really hope the Nextdoor group is active in that area. I've gotten loads of good info from neighbors who actually used certain workmen/companies to do work -- both good and bad experiences. I'd love to meet up at one of the get-togethers the ladies in the group have, but haven't been able to as yet.
