Fine Grit Sanding First
Sander scratches show as dark streaks under stain, so a buffer with fine screens runs next and the vacuum follows.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
Stain goes on in small sections and the excess is wiped before moving on, so no lap lines show between areas.

/ LOCAL STAINING CREW
Floor Staining Throughout East Haven
We stain floors in Foxon capes, West End colonials, two-families off Hemingway Avenue and beach houses near Momauguin and Short Beach Road. Many have gone orange with age, so we sand them to clean oak, tape off samples in your rooms and seal when dry.
/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST
Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Mahogany and natural oak lead the requests around town. Name any color and we tape off a sample on your own floor.
Natural Look, No Stain
A Foxon ranch keeps its oak light with only a clear finish over the wood.
Gray and Driftwood Tones
Light gray fits a remodeled Momauguin beach house with white shaker cabinets.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
Espresso anchors a West End colonial and sets off its white trim.
Custom Color Mixing
A family near Grannis Pond chose a two can blend between honey and walnut.
Red Oak Toning
Red oak off Hemingway Avenue gets a toner so its pink undertone settles into warm brown.
Color Change on Old Floors
Orange floors in older East Haven houses are sanded off and turned mahogany.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does floor staining cost in East Haven?
East Haven staining runs $2.00/Sq Ft, covering sample swatches on your floor, hand rubbed color and a clear protective coat. The complete refinish with sanding, stain and three coats of poly is the $2.50/Sq Ft service.
Can orange oak in a Foxon cape go brown?
Yes. Sanding strips the old amber finish, and the raw oak underneath accepts brown, walnut or mahogany cleanly.
Which colors are popular in East Haven?
Mahogany and natural oak top the list, followed by espresso, light gray and custom blends.
Do you stain stairs in a two-family?
Yes. Edgers and hand scrapers reach what the big machine cannot, and the steps are colored to suit both floors.
How long does the stain need to dry?
Overnight in most cases. Before the clear coat goes on we check the surface by hand to be sure nothing smears.
Do we need to move out of the house while you stain?
Most families stay home, though some spend a night away while the finish cures because of the odor.
How fast can you schedule?
Usually the day after measuring, and the same small crew handles sanding, stain and seal.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. The staining crew is on our payroll and NWFA trained, and we warranty the labor for twelve months.
