/ Floor Staining in Cambridge
Wood Floor Staining Options
Cambridge has oak under old carpet in Victorians, rentals and rowhouses, all waiting for a new color. We tape off samples first, then our Cambridge hardwood floor staining crew works through each room.
Floor Staining
The old finish is sanded away fully, a fine screen levels the surface and dust is vacuumed twice. Color is rubbed in by hand and wiped back.

Fine Grit Sanding First
Sanding marks turn dark when stained, which is why a fine-screen buffer pass comes first, followed by a vacuum.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
We work in small sections, wiping the stain on and lifting the excess before moving on, so no overlap lines appear.

Expect $2.00/Sq Ft for stain samples on your own floor, color applied by hand and a clear protective coat. A full sand, stain and three coats job is the $2.50/Sq Ft refinishing service.
Can yellow oak be turned a different color?
Yes. Once the amber finish is sanded away, bare oak accepts brown, walnut or espresso.
Which colors do Cambridge homeowners pick?
Espresso and natural oak lead, with gray and custom blends next.
Can you stain the stairs to match?
Yes. Edgers and hand tools reach what the big machine can't, and the steps are colored to suit both floors.
How long does stain take to dry?
Usually overnight. We test the surface before the clear coat goes on.
Should we stay home during staining?
Many do, but some prefer to leave for a night because of the smell.
How soon can you schedule?
Often the next day after measuring. The same crew handles sanding, stain and sealing.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. Our own NWFA trained employees do the work, and labor has a twelve month warranty.
