/ Floor Staining IN DURHAM
Wood Floor Staining Options
Colonials on Main Street, capes near the fairgrounds and farmhouses toward Miller's Pond all have oak ready for a new color. Taped off samples come first, then our Durham hardwood floor staining crew finishes each room.
Floor Staining
The old finish is sanded off completely, a buffer with fine screens smooths the surface and we vacuum twice. The stain goes onto the Durham oak by hand and whatever the wood does not absorb comes back off.

Fine Grit Sanding First
Sanding scratches turn into dark streaks under color, so a buffer with fine screens comes next and the vacuum takes the rest.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
Stain is wiped onto a manageable patch and the excess pulled off before the next, so no lap marks show between sections.

/ LOCAL STAINING CREW
Floor Staining Throughout Durham
We stain floors in Main Street colonials, capes near the fairgrounds, raised ranches off Route 17 and farmhouses by Miller's Pond. Many of these floors turned orange over the decades, so we sand them to clean oak, tape off samples in your rooms and seal once dry.
/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST
Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Dark walnut and natural oak are the favorites around Durham. Pick any color and we tape off a sample of it on your floor to see.
Natural Look, No Stain
A Durham ranch keeps its oak light and natural, with only a clear finish over the wood.
Gray and Driftwood Tones
Light gray fits a remodeled cape near the fairgrounds with white shaker cabinets.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
Espresso grounds a Main Street colonial and makes its white trim stand out.
Custom Color Mixing
A family near Miller's Pond picked a blend of two cans that landed between honey and walnut.
Red Oak Toning
Red oak by the Coginchaug gets a toner, and its pink undertone settles into warm brown.
Color Change on Old Floors
Orange floors in older Durham homes are sanded off and turned deep mahogany.

Other Flooring Jobs Across Durham
Going darker or lighter means sanding to bare wood, and the same team installs hardwood, laminate and vinyl plank and builds new staircases.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat will staining my floors cost in Durham?
Hardwood floor staining is $2.00/Sq Ft, and that includes stain samples on your own floor, hand applied color and a clear protective coat. The free visit sets the exact quote.
Can orange oak be made brown?
Yes. After the old orange finish is sanded away, fresh oak takes brown, walnut or mahogany without the tint.
What colors are popular in Durham?
Durham leans to dark walnut and natural oak first, then espresso, light gray and blends we mix on site.
Do you stain farmhouse back stairs?
Yes. Edgers and hand scrapers reach where the big machine cannot, and the steps are colored to suit both floors.
How long does the stain need to dry?
Most stains dry overnight. We check the surface before any clear coat so the color stays put.
Should we leave the house during staining?
Most Durham families stay put, though some book a night away to dodge the smell while the finish cures.
How soon can you schedule the work?
In Durham it is usually the day after the measure, and one small crew carries the job from sanding to seal.
Is there a guarantee on staining?
Yes. Brazil Floors employees with NWFA training do every Durham staining job, and the labor is warrantied for twelve months.
