Wood Floor Staining Options
Century old red oak in a city row house rarely looks like the stain can's label promises. So we sand a small square right in your room, brush several real options onto it and give you until tomorrow evening to choose. Staining costs $2.00/Sq Ft, and each foot is worked in by hand.
Floor Staining
Once the finest grit is done, our crew massages stain into each strip with a pad, and anything left sitting on top is lifted off so the floor drinks in color evenly.

Stair Staining
We hand stain treads and the landing so the staircase reads as one with the upstairs hall, and a tough clear layer protects that color from boots, paws and book bags.

Fine Grit Sanding First
Dark colors expose the faintest sander swirl. We make a final pass with very fine grit, then vacuum every corner and seam twice before a can of stain is opened.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
A pad works stain into a handful of strips at once, and the surplus gets wiped before it sets, so one even tone runs from the front stoop door straight to the back porch.

One Year Staining Warranty
Our stain techs are NWFA trained Brazil Floors employees with licenses and insurance. Not happy with how the color was applied during the first year? They'll come back.
/ LOCAL STAINING CREW
Hardwood Staining Crew in Boston
We stain floors in Jamaica Plain Victorians, brick bowfronts on Beacon Hill and Roslindale colonials. Low winter sun through tall city windows exposes any streak, which is why our technicians handle one section at a time, compare it with the sample square and only then seal it.
/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST
Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Some people adore plain natural oak, others want deep espresso. Whichever way you lean, we test it on an out of sight corner of your floor before any stain covers the room.
Natural Look, No Stain
A Back Bay condo keeps its oak's honest color under a clear sealer that holds zero tint.
Gray and Driftwood Tones
Pale gray and driftwood shades feel crisp next to white trim in West Roxbury homes.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
Walnut or espresso goes on smooth and uniform in a Dorchester family room, with no blotches.
Custom Color Mixing
A pair of stains mixed in the room gives a Jamaica Plain dining area a color all its own.
Red Oak Toning
Toning settles down the rosy tint that sunlit South End rooms bring out in red oak.
Color Change on Old Floors
Older Charlestown floors are sanded free of their dated orange color, then taken lighter or darker.

Usually a color change happens alongside sanding and refinishing, which costs $2.50/Sq Ft altogether. Our team also lays hardwood, LVP or laminate, builds stairs and fixes water or pet damage.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat's the price to stain wood floors in Boston?
Color by itself costs $2.00/Sq Ft. If the floor is being sanded and refinished anyway, the whole job runs $2.50/Sq Ft, and stain adds nothing to that.
Can I see colors before you stain the room?
Always. Several shades go onto bare wood somewhere hidden, like a closet, and you have a whole day to compare them in daylight and lamplight.
Will a dark floor show every speck of dust?
Deeper browns do reveal dust and fine scratches faster than natural or medium shades. We'll talk about pets, kids and light before you decide.
Can red oak look less pink?
Yes. A toning stain or a neutral brown quiets the pink cast, and we test the result on your floor to let you judge it by your own windows.
Can you match an existing room?
Usually. Stains get mixed on the spot and tried beside the older floor until both look alike, which is a big help when an addition joins original rooms.
How long will a staining job take?
Most rooms need two to four days so sanding, color and the protective layers can all cure. You'll get a written schedule showing when each room reopens.
How is staining paid for?
Jobs that involve sanding get split in two equal payments: one when the sanders arrive and the other after the last layer and your walk through.
Is staining work warrantied?
Yes. Should the color work disappoint before twelve months pass, the return visit is free, and every technician is an NWFA certified, licensed and insured Brazil Floors employee.
