Samples on Your Own Wood
Narrow your list to three or four cans, and we paint each onto bare oak beside a bright window. Wait a day before choosing, since July sun and January lamplight shift every tone.

Deep shades magnify every little swirl, so we finish sanding with 120 grit paper, then vacuum radiators, sills and floor twice before any can gets opened.
One tech spreads color with a lambswool pad and a partner follows with lint free rags, lifting extra stain, so even a long front hall on Church Street dries without lap lines.
Brazil Floors staff do all stain work themselves, with no subcontractors. They are NWFA trained, and every stained floor carries a year of workmanship coverage.

Sand and stain jobs are billed in two halves. One is due before our crew plugs in the sanders, and the other once you have walked across the colored floor and approved it. Furniture moving is $250.
