/ Floor Staining IN ANDOVER
Wood Floor Staining Options
Shawsheen Village colonials, split levels near Haggetts Pond and estate homes around South Church all have oak ready for a new tone. Color samples go on the floor first, then our Andover hardwood floor staining crew finishes each room.
Floor Staining
The old finish comes off entirely, fine screens on a buffer smooth the oak, the vacuum goes over it twice, and the color is rubbed in by hand with the excess wiped away.

Fine Grit Sanding First
Stain turns every sander swirl into a dark streak, which is why the floor gets buffed with fine screens and vacuumed before color touches it.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
Stain goes on one section at a time and the extra is wiped before the next section starts, so no lap lines appear.

/ LOCAL STAINING CREW
Floor Staining Throughout Andover
Our Andover staining crew spends its weeks in townhouses by the Merrimack River, colonials in Shawsheen Village, estate homes around South Church and the split levels near Haggetts Pond. Decades turned most of these floors orange, so they are sanded to clean oak, colors are tested in your rooms and the finish is sealed once the stain has dried.
/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST
Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Dark walnut and natural oak are the two most requested colors in Andover. Ask for anything else and we tape off a sample on your floor.
Natural Look, No Stain
A split level by Haggetts Pond keeps its oak natural under nothing but clear coats.
Gray and Driftwood Tones
Pale gray fits a remodeled kitchen off Route 28 with white shaker cabinets.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
Espresso grounds a Victorian by the Andover common and sets off its white trim.
Custom Color Mixing
One Shawsheen Village family mixed two stains into a shade halfway between honey and walnut.
Red Oak Toning
Red oak by Roger's Brook takes a toner that turns its pink undertone into a warm brown.
Color Change on Old Floors
Older colonials near South Church lose their orange floors to a sanding and a mahogany stain.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does floor staining cost in Andover?
$2.00/Sq Ft, and that pays for sample colors tested on your floor, color rubbed in by hand and a clear coat over it for protection. Need the floor fully sanded with three coats of poly as well? That is refinishing, at $2.50/Sq Ft.
Can orange oak be made brown?
Yes. With the amber finish sanded away, bare oak will take brown, walnut or mahogany and no orange shows through it.
Which colors do Andover homeowners pick most?
Dark walnut and natural oak, with espresso, pale gray and custom blends behind them.
Do you stain stairs too?
Yes. The corners a drum sander cannot reach are done with edgers and hand scrapers, and the steps get a color that ties the two floors together.
How long does stain take to dry?
Overnight in most cases. The surface gets checked before the clear coat goes down so the color cannot smear.
Should we stay elsewhere while you work?
Most families stay, though a few spend one night out while the finish cures because of the smell.
How soon can the job be scheduled?
Usually the day after we measure, with one small crew doing the sanding, the stain and the sealer.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our own NWFA trained employees do the job, and the labor is warrantied for twelve months.
