Fine Grit Sanding First
Sanding scratches turn dark under stain, so a buffer with fine screens follows the sander and the vacuum picks up the rest.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
Stain is wiped onto one section at a time and the excess lifted before the next, so no lap lines show across the room.

/ LOCAL STAINING CREW
Floor Staining Throughout Athol
Our staining work covers the Uptown triple deckers, the capes along the River Valley, Athol Center's colonials and the houses by the Starrett Plant Area. Decades of sun turned a lot of them amber; we sand back to raw wood, lay out sample patches in your rooms and apply the clear coat once the stain has dried.
/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST

Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much is floor staining in Athol?
Hardwood floor staining is $2.00/Sq Ft, including samples on your own floor, hand applied color and a clear protective top coat. A full sand, stain and three coat refinish is the $2.50/Sq Ft service.
Can amber maple be stained darker?
Yes. Once the old finish is sanded off, bare maple takes brown or walnut, though it stains less evenly than oak, so we test a sample first.
Which colors are popular in Athol?
Dark walnut and natural lead, with espresso, light gray and custom blends behind them.
Do you stain stairs?
Yes. Corners and treads get the edger and a hand scraper, then a stain chosen so the staircase connects the two floors.
How long does stain take to dry?
Most stains dry overnight. We check the surface before the clear coat goes on so nothing smears.
Should we stay somewhere else?
Many families stay home, while some spend one night away while the finish cures, mostly for the smell.
How soon can you schedule?
Usually the next day after the estimate, and the same small crew handles sanding, stain and seal.
Is there a guarantee?
There is. The color goes on by our own NWFA trained staff, and the finish is guaranteed for a year.
