Samples on Your Own Wood

/ Floor Staining IN AQUINNAH
Wood Floor Staining Options
Cottages near the Gay Head Cliffs, houses on State Road and homes off Moshup Trail all have oak that could wear a new color. Our Aquinnah hardwood floor staining crew tapes samples first, then finishes each room.
Floor Staining
The old finish comes off entirely, a fine screen buffs the oak smooth and two vacuum passes clear the dust. Color is hand rubbed in, the surplus wiped off, and the service costs $2.00/Sq Ft.

Fine Grit Sanding First
Any sanding mark turns into a dark streak once stain hits it, so a buffer with fine screens runs after the sander and the vacuum follows.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
Color goes on one manageable patch at a time and the surplus comes off before the next patch begins, which is why no seam shows between sections.

/ LOCAL STAINING CREW
Floor Staining Throughout Aquinnah
Our crew stains floors in cottages by the Gay Head Light, State Road homes and houses on the Wampanoag Tribal Lands. Decades turned many of them orange, so we sand down to fresh oak, tape samples in your own rooms and seal once the color has set.
/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST
Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Island owners ask for natural oak and driftwood gray more than anything. Choose a color and a taped sample of it goes onto your floor.
Natural Look, No Stain
A cottage off Moshup Trail keeps its oak pale and natural, with only a clear coat over the wood.
Gray and Driftwood Tones
Light gray suits a renovated house on State Road with white shaker cabinets.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
Espresso anchors a year-round home and makes its white trim pop.
Custom Color Mixing
A family on the Wampanoag Tribal Lands chose a two can blend that sits between honey and walnut.
Red Oak Toning
Red oak near the cliffs gets a toner so its pink undertone settles into a soft brown.
Color Change on Old Floors
Orange floors in older cottages are sanded off and turned a cool weathered gray.

Other Flooring Jobs Across Aquinnah
A color change means sanding to raw wood, and the same crew nails hardwood, floats laminate and vinyl plank and builds stairs.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does floor staining cost in Aquinnah?
$2.00/Sq Ft, which pays for samples on your own boards, color applied by hand and a clear protective coat. If the floor needs a full sand, stain and three coats, that is our $2.50/Sq Ft refinishing instead.
Can orange oak in a cottage go gray?
Yes. With the old finish sanded off, raw oak accepts gray, driftwood or brown and the orange never bleeds through.
Which colors do island owners pick most?
Natural oak and driftwood gray, then espresso, honey and custom blends.
Can you stain the stairs in a cottage?
Yes. Edgers and hand scrapers get into the corners the big machine misses, and we color the steps to tie both floors together.
How long does stain take to dry on the island?
Overnight for most colors, longer when fog sits on the cliffs. The surface is tested before the clear coat so nothing smears.
Can we stay in the house during the work?
Many owners do. Some prefer a night elsewhere while the finish cures, mostly because of the smell.
How soon can the staining start?
Often the day after measuring, ferry permitting, with the same small crew sanding, coloring and sealing.
Is there a guarantee on the stain job?
Yes. NWFA trained Brazil Floors employees handle the work, and twelve months of labor warranty come with it.
