Samples on Your Own Wood

Each sample is taped off on sanded oak, so you can compare colors side by side in sun and in shade.

Fine Grit Sanding First

Sanding scratches show up as dark streaks once color goes on, so a fine-screen buffer pass comes first, then the vacuum.

No Blotches or Lap Marks

Stain is wiped over a workable section and the surplus is lifted before moving on, which keeps lap marks out of view.

One Year Staining Warranty

Staining is done by Brazil Floors employees who are NWFA trained and insured, and labor is warrantied for twelve months.

/ LOCAL STAINING CREW

Floor Staining Throughout Branford

We stain floors in Branford cottages near Indian Neck, capes in Stony Creek and Short Beach and condos on Branford Hill. Many have turned orange with age, so we sand to clean oak, test samples in your rooms and seal them dry.

How much does staining cost in Branford?

Staining is $2.00/Sq Ft, with sample patches on your own floor, hand applied color and a clear protective coat. Sanding plus stain plus three coats is the $2.50/Sq Ft refinishing service.

Can I go much lighter or darker?

Lighter means sanding the existing color out fully, and darker is easy over bare oak. We show both on a test patch.

Do I see the color before the whole floor is done?

Yes, samples are taped on your sanded boards so you judge them in your own light.

Why does some stain look blotchy?

Uneven sanding and open grain pull color unevenly. A fine buffer pass and careful wiping stop it.

Can you match the floor in the next room?

Stain gets blended in your driveway and tried on scrap until old and new read the same. A perfect match can take several sample rounds.

How long until furniture goes back?

Plan on about 24 hours for socks and 48 for furniture. Humid shore weeks can add a day.

Can the stairs be stained too?

Yes, stairs are stained with the floor so both levels agree. Stair refinishing is $50 per step.

When is the payment due?

Half the sanding charge is paid at the start and half at the final coat. Labor is warrantied for a year.
