Sanding marks and leftover coating can affect color. We review preparation and the condition of the wood before expecting an even stained appearance.
Stain application follows the chosen product’s instructions, including preparation, working time and removal of excess. The finish is applied only when conditions are suitable.
Our one-year workmanship warranty follows its written terms. Stain changes appearance; the compatible clear finish and proper care provide the next part of the floor system.

A photograph is useful as a reference, but wood species, lighting and finish affect the result. A sample on your own prepared wood is more informative.
Conventional penetrating stain generally needs a suitable bare surface. We assess the current coating before specifying a compatible process.
Natural differences in grain and wood can remain visible. Samples help set expectations for the overall appearance.
We can assess a match and test samples, but differences in age, species and existing finish may prevent an exact result.
Stain mainly changes color. The specified compatible clear finish and proper maintenance are separate parts of protecting the floor.
Timing depends on the stain, room conditions and finish system. Application follows the selected products’ instructions rather than a fixed universal waiting time.
