/ FLOOR STAINING IN CHILMARK
Wood Floor Staining Options
Color on a paint chip is a guess. Instead, we brush a few test squares onto sanded oak by your window, then you watch them in Squibnocket sunshine and gray fog alike. In Chilmark, staining costs $2.00/Sq Ft, or $2.50/Sq Ft when it rides along with a full sanding.
Floor Staining
Once the oak is smoothed with fine grit paper, a rag works the stain into the grain and the surplus is wiped off, leaving no lap lines. Up island, staining runs $2.00/Sq Ft.

Fine Grit Sanding First
Stain makes every sander swirl stand out, so our last pass runs 120 grit paper, and we vacuum the whole room twice, sills included, before opening any color.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
An applicator pad lays the color down, and a second person follows with rags lifting the excess, so a big great room comes out one even tone, wall to wall.

Only Brazil Floors employees stain your oak, all NWFA trained and insured, with labor guaranteed twelve months. Half is due as sanding starts, the rest at completion.
/ LOCAL STAINING CREW
Floor Staining Crew in Chilmark
In shingled houses near Lucy Vincent Beach, cottages tucked along Tisbury Great Pond and newer places by Menemsha Hills, faded oak is taken down to clean, bright wood and colored the shade you approved. Clear finish goes on top, so the color stands up to beach sand, wet retrievers and plenty of summers.
/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST
Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Natural blond, honey, driftwood or a near black espresso, the pick is yours. We just insist on testing it on your oak first, since seaside light shifts every shade.
Natural Look, No Stain
Near the Chilmark library, plenty of owners skip stain entirely and seal pale oak clear for a fresh look.
Gray and Driftwood Tones
Soft gray and weathered driftwood colors echo cedar shingles and white trim in island houses.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
Walnut or espresso, hand wiped across a large family room, stays smooth right up to the baseline trim.
Custom Color Mixing
Two stains blended together give a Squibnocket living room its very own custom shade.
Red Oak Toning
A toning stain calms the rosy tint that red oak develops in bright rooms facing the ocean.
Color Change on Old Floors
Older oak gets sanded clean back to fresh fiber, then refinished noticeably lighter or darker than before.

Most stain jobs are part of a bigger sand and refinish. While we are there, our crew can also lay new oak or vinyl, swap a split strip near the deck door or rebuild the stairs.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does floor staining cost up island?
Staining in Chilmark is $2.00/Sq Ft. Since most floors get sanded first, combining that sanding with the stain brings the price to $2.50/Sq Ft, settled before work starts.
Can we try colors before you stain every room?
Yes. We brush three or four test squares onto a freshly sanded spot by the window. Study them in the bright morning and again when the sun sets over the pond, then choose.
Our red oak and white oak rooms looked different with the same stain. Why?
Red oak carries a pinkish undertone and open pores, while white oak is cooler and tighter. The same can looks warmer on red oak, so we always test on your floor.
Can you make our floor lighter than it is now?
Yes, after we sand it to fresh wood. The old color comes off completely, so we can go natural, lighter or darker. Very dark floors sometimes need an extra sanding pass.
Does gray stain suit a beach house?
Gray and driftwood shades sit nicely beside white window trim and cedar shingles. We test a couple, since some grays turn blue on oak while others lean toward brown.
How much time does stain add to a refinish?
Usually about one day, because the color must dry fully before clear polyurethane goes on. Your full schedule is mapped out at the estimate.
How is staining paid?
Stain and sanding work is split evenly: one payment the morning we begin, one after you walk the finished floor. Furniture moving costs $250 if you want help.
Does staining come with a warranty?
Yes. Our licensed, insured crew backs staining labor twelve months from the final day, and the companies behind the stain and polyurethane cover their own products.
