Fine Grit Sanding First
Fine screens go over the sanded wood to erase scratches that stain would darken, and the vacuum removes the dust.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
Stain is wiped onto a section and the excess lifted before the next, which prevents lap marks between areas.

/ LOCAL STAINING CREW
Floor Staining Throughout Canterbury
We stain floors in farmhouses by Canterbury Green, capes on Library Road, ranches on Westminster Road and homes around Canterbury Center. Many floors have yellowed or turned orange, so we take them to clean oak and tape off samples in your rooms.
/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST
Hardwood Floor Staining Services
In Canterbury, dark walnut and bare natural oak get requested most. Tell us the shade you are considering and a taped sample goes on your floor.
Natural Look, No Stain
A cape on Library Road keeps its oak light, with only a clear finish over it.
Gray and Driftwood Tones
A cool light gray looks right next to the white cabinets of a redone kitchen.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
Espresso gives a colonial a dark base so the white trim reads sharper.
Custom Color Mixing
A household here mixed two stains and ended up midway between honey and walnut.
Red Oak Toning
A toner calms pink red oak into a soft warm brown.
Color Change on Old Floors
Orange floors in older farmhouses are sanded off and turned deep mahogany.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does staining cost in Canterbury?
Staining starts at $2.00/Sq Ft, including samples on your own floor, hand applied color and a clear top coat. A free visit sets the exact quote.
Can orange oak become brown?
Yes. After the old finish is sanded away, bare oak takes brown, walnut or mahogany without the orange.
Which colors do people choose most?
Dark walnut and natural oak lead, then espresso, light gray and custom blends.
Can you stain stairs too?
Yes. Edgers and hand scrapers reach the corners, and the color is matched to the floors on both levels.
How long does stain take to dry?
Most dry overnight. We test the surface before the clear coat so nothing smears.
Should we stay out of the house?
Many families stay, while some prefer a night away because of the odor.
How fast can you schedule it?
Often the day after measuring, with the same people handling sanding, stain and sealing.
Is staining guaranteed?
Yes. Our own NWFA trained staff do the work and labor has a twelve month warranty.
