/ Floor Staining IN EAST LYME
Wood Floor Staining Options
Ranches in Flanders, cottages at Giants Neck and farmhouses on Society Road all have oak waiting for a new color. Taped off samples go down first, then our East Lyme hardwood floor staining crew finishes each room.
Floor Staining
The old finish is sanded away, the buffer smooths the surface and dust is pulled twice. Then the stain is worked in by hand and wiped back before it can puddle.

Fine Grit Sanding First
Any swirl the big sander leaves turns into a dark streak once stain hits it, so the floor gets buffed with fine screens and vacuumed again first.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
We work the stain in patches small enough to wipe back before it sets, which keeps lap marks out of the finished floor.

/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST
Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Mahogany and natural oak lead the requests in East Lyme. Whatever shade you have in mind, we tape a test patch of it onto your sanded floor.
Natural Look, No Stain
A Flanders ranch keeps its oak light with only a clear finish over the wood.
Gray and Driftwood Tones
Light gray fits a remodeled Giants Neck cottage with white shaker cabinets.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
Espresso anchors a Society Road colonial and sets off its white trim.
Custom Color Mixing
A family near Flanders Four Corners chose a two can blend between honey and walnut.
Red Oak Toning
Red oak at Crescent Beach gets a toner so its pink undertone settles into warm brown.
Color Change on Old Floors
Orange floors in older East Lyme houses are sanded off and turned mahogany.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does floor staining cost in East Lyme?
East Lyme staining runs $2.00/Sq Ft, covering sample swatches on your floor, hand rubbed color and a clear protective coat. If the floor also needs sanding and three coats of poly, that is the full refinish at $2.50/Sq Ft.
Can orange oak in a Flanders ranch go brown?
Yes. Once the amber finish is sanded off, the bare oak takes a brown, walnut or mahogany stain without any orange bleeding through.
Which colors are popular in East Lyme?
Mahogany and natural come up most, with espresso, light gray and driveway blends not far behind.
Do you stain stairs in a raised ranch?
Yes. Edgers and hand scrapers get into the corners the drum sander misses, and we color the steps to bridge both levels.
How long does the stain take to dry?
Overnight in most cases. We run a hand across the floor before sealing, and if the stain drags at all we wait longer.
Can we sleep at home the night you stain?
Plenty of East Lyme families stay put, but some book a night away because of the finish odor.
How fast can you schedule?
Most jobs start the day after the estimate, and the sanding, staining and sealing are all done by the same two or three people.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, the crew is NWFA trained and paid by Brazil Floors, and the labor is covered for a full year.
