Samples on Your Own Wood

/ Floor Staining IN AMHERST
Wood Floor Staining Options
Ranches in South Amherst, farmhouses up the Connecticut River and colonials near Amherst College all have oak ready for a new tone. Taped samples come first, then our Amherst hardwood floor staining crew finishes each room.
Floor Staining
The old finish comes off completely, fine screens on a buffer smooth the oak and the dust is pulled twice. Then the color is rubbed in by hand and the surplus lifted.

Fine Grit Sanding First
Swirl marks from the sander show as dark streaks once stain hits them, so a buffer with fine screens goes over the floor and the vacuum follows before any color.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
Color is rubbed onto one workable patch and the surplus removed before moving on, which is how lap lines are avoided.

/ LOCAL STAINING CREW
Floor Staining Throughout Amherst
Our staining crew covers the colonials of Amherst Center, the ranches in South Amherst, the North Amherst farmhouses and the homes out by Hampshire College. Most of these floors drifted orange over the years, so we sand to clean oak, tape samples in the rooms and seal after the color dries.
/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST
Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Natural oak and dark walnut lead the requests in Amherst. Name any color and we tape a sample of it on your floor.
Natural Look, No Stain
A South Amherst ranch keeps its oak light, with only a clear coat over the wood.
Gray and Driftwood Tones
Light gray suits a renovated kitchen off Route 116 with white cabinets.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
Espresso anchors a Victorian near Amherst College and makes its white trim pop.
Custom Color Mixing
A North Amherst family blended two cans into a shade between honey and walnut.
Red Oak Toning
A toner over red oak along the Fort River calms its pink cast into a warm brown.
Color Change on Old Floors
Orange floors in older Pioneer Valley farmhouses are sanded bare and turned mahogany.

Other Flooring Jobs Across Amherst
Going to a new color means taking the oak down to raw wood first, and the crew doing that also installs hardwood, laminate and vinyl plank and builds stairs.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does floor staining cost in Amherst?
Staining runs $2.00/Sq Ft. In that price you get sample colors tested on your own floor, stain rubbed in by hand and a clear top coat for protection. A complete sanding with three poly coats is the refinishing service, $2.50/Sq Ft.
Can orange oak be made brown?
Yes. Once the old amber finish is sanded off, fresh oak takes brown, walnut or mahogany without the orange cast.
Which colors do Amherst homeowners pick most?
Natural oak and dark walnut top the list here, followed by espresso, light gray and custom blends.
Do you stain stairs too?
Yes. Edgers and hand scrapers reach corners the drum sander misses, and the steps are stained to bridge both floors.
How long does stain take to dry?
Overnight for most colors. The surface is checked before the clear coat so nothing smears.
Should we stay elsewhere while you work?
Most families stay put, though a few spend one night away while the finish cures because of the smell.
How soon can the job be scheduled?
Usually the day after the measurement, with the same small crew handling the sanding, the stain and the sealer.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our own NWFA trained staff do it, and the labor carries a twelve month warranty.

Floor Staining in Nearby Towns
Sample visits also reach Hatfield and Hadley, plus Leverett, Pelham and Sunderland, often the next day.
Hatfield homeowners tape off a few sample colors before choosing one.
Hadley farmhouses tend to pick honey brown, rubbed by hand into bare oak.
Soft gray is the Leverett favorite, keeping big open rooms quiet.
Pelham houses go for dark walnut, which warms up old oak floors.
Sunderland homes get a blend mixed on site so the addition and the original oak match.
