Samples on Your Own Wood

/ Floor Staining IN ELLINGTON
Wood Floor Staining Options
Farmhouses around Ellington Center, cottages on Crystal Lake and colonials up at Crystal Ridge all have oak waiting for a new color. Taped off samples come first, then our Ellington hardwood floor staining crew finishes each room.
Floor Staining
The old finish comes off completely under the sander, a fine screen on the buffer smooths what is left and the floor is vacuumed twice. Color is then rubbed into the grain by hand and the surplus taken up.

Fine Grit Sanding First
Stain finds every sanding scratch and darkens it, so the buffer goes over the floor with a fine screen and the vacuum follows before any color is opened.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
The color is applied in sections small enough to control, and the excess comes off before the next section begins, which is why no overlap mark ever shows.

/ LOCAL STAINING CREW
Floor Staining Throughout Ellington
We stain floors in Ellington farmhouses near the center, cottages on Crystal Lake, colonials at Crystal Ridge and homes along Maple Street and Somers Road. Years of afternoon sun pushed many of these floors toward orange, so we sand them to raw oak, tape off samples in your own light and hand rub the shade you settle on.
/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST
Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Around Ellington the favorites are dark walnut and natural oak. Whatever color you have in mind, we tape off a sample on your floor first.
Natural Look, No Stain
A Crystal Lake cottage stayed with pale oak under nothing but a clear water based finish.
Gray and Driftwood Tones
Soft gray fits the white shaker kitchen of a remodeled Windermere colonial.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
Espresso gives a farmhouse near Ellington Center weight and makes the white trim pop.
Custom Color Mixing
A Maple Street family mixed two cans and landed on a shade halfway between honey and walnut.
Red Oak Toning
Red oak in a ranch off Somers Road got a toner that turned its pink cast into warm brown.
Color Change on Old Floors
Orange floors in the older homes near Sadd's Mill were sanded to bare wood and taken to dark walnut.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat will staining my floors cost in Ellington?
Hardwood floor staining costs $2.00/Sq Ft in Ellington, and that includes test samples on your floor, hand rubbed color and a clear protective coat. A floor that needs a full sanding plus three coats of poly falls under refinishing at $2.50/Sq Ft.
Can orange oak be turned brown?
Yes, the orange disappears when the floor is sanded to bare wood, and the stain you select sets the new color. Most Ellington owners go with walnut or a smoky brown.
What shades are most popular here?
In Ellington the two leaders are dark walnut and natural oak, with soft gray gaining ground in renovated houses. If you cannot choose, we tape off all three.
Do you stain split level stairs?
Yes, we sand and stain split level treads so the two floors connect visually. Stair work of that kind runs $50 a step.
How long should the stain dry?
The stain cures overnight before the clear coat goes on, longer if the week is humid. You can walk the floor in socks a day after the last coat.
Should I leave the house during the work?
Most families in Ellington stay put, closing the bedrooms and keeping out of the stained rooms overnight. Pets need to stay off the floor until the top coat is fully cured.
How quickly can you schedule the job?
Sample visits typically happen the day after your call, and the staining itself is booked within a week or two. One appointment settles both the color and the date.
Is there a guarantee?
Our labor is guaranteed for twelve months, and the finish manufacturer backs the product. Any blotch or overlap mark from our work is redone at no charge.

South Windsor colonials go for honey brown, hand rubbed into bare oak at $2.00/Sq Ft.
Vernon homes pick soft gray to calm a large open room.
Tolland houses choose dark walnut for the warmth it gives older oak.
Somers homes get a custom mix made in the driveway so an addition matches the original oak.
