/ Floor Staining IN BERNARDSTON
Wood Floor Staining Options
There is plenty of good oak in Bernardston, in Huckle Hill farmhouses, Bernardston Center capes and the ranches along Routes 5 and 10, and much of it is ready for a new color. Our Bernardston hardwood floor staining starts with samples taped off on your floor and ends with every room sealed.
Floor Staining
Full staining on a Bernardston floor is $2.00/Sq Ft. The old finish is sanded away, the oak is buffed smooth and vacuumed twice, color is rubbed in by hand, the excess is lifted and a clear top coat goes over everything.

Fine Grit Sanding First
A stained floor shows every sanding scratch as a dark line, so before color the Bernardston crew buffs with fine screens and vacuums the whole room.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
Color goes onto a Bernardston floor one short section at a time, and the excess comes off before the next section starts, which is why no lap marks appear.

The Bernardston staining crew draws a Brazil Floors paycheck, carries NWFA training and insurance, and backs its labor with twelve months of warranty.
/ LOCAL STAINING CREW
Floor Staining Throughout Bernardston
Stain jobs take us into Huckle Hill farmhouses, Bernardston Center capes, older houses around Burke Fort and the Sheldon House, and ranches along Routes 5 and 10. Most of these floors went orange years ago, so they come back to clean oak, samples go on in your rooms and the finish is sealed once the color is dry.
/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST
Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Bernardston leans toward dark walnut and natural oak, but any color can be sampled on your own floor before a decision.
Natural Look, No Stain
A Bernardston farmhouse that wants its oak light gets a clear finish alone, no stain at all.
Gray and Driftwood Tones
Light gray fits a remodeled Bernardston Center cape with white shaker cabinets and black hardware.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
Espresso grounds a Huckle Hill farmhouse and throws the white trim into relief.
Custom Color Mixing
A Burke Fort Area family mixed two cans and landed on a shade between honey and walnut.
Red Oak Toning
Red oak in a ranch along Routes 5 and 10 takes a toner that moves its pink cast toward warm brown.
Color Change on Old Floors
Orange oak in older Bernardston Center houses is sanded back and finished in dark walnut.

Bernardston staining is $2.00/Sq Ft. Color samples on your own oak, stain applied by hand and a clear protective coat are all part of it. A floor that needs the full sanding plus three coats is the $2.50/Sq Ft refinish instead.
Can orange oak in a Bernardston farmhouse go brown?
Yes. Sanding takes the orange finish off a Bernardston farmhouse floor, and the bare oak beneath accepts brown, walnut or mahogany with no tint left.
Which colors are popular in Bernardston?
Dark walnut and natural oak are the Bernardston favorites, followed by espresso, light gray and blends mixed for a single house.
Do you stain farmhouse stairs?
Yes. Where the big sander cannot reach on Bernardston stairs, edgers and hand scrapers finish the job, and the steps are colored to suit both floors.
How long does the stain need to dry?
Most stains on a Bernardston floor are dry by morning. The surface gets checked before the clear coat so the color never smears.
Should we leave the house while you work?
Most Bernardston families stay home, though a few sleep elsewhere for a night while the finish cures, the odor being the usual reason.
How quickly can you schedule the work?
Typically the day after the Bernardston measuring visit, and the same small crew handles sanding, staining and sealing.
Is there a guarantee on the staining?
Yes. NWFA trained Brazil Floors staff stain Bernardston floors, and the labor carries a twelve month warranty.
