/ Floor Staining IN GROTON
Wood Floor Staining Options
Ranches in Poquonnock Bridge, cottages in Noank and colonials up on Long Hill all have oak ready for a fresh look. Taped off samples come first, then our Groton hardwood floor staining crew finishes each room.
Floor Staining
We sand off every trace of old finish, smooth the oak with a fine screen buffer and vacuum twice. Color is then rubbed into the grain by hand, and what the oak refuses gets wiped off.

Fine Grit Sanding First
Any scratch left by the big sander shows as a dark line once stained, so we buff with fine screens and vacuum before color goes on.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
We work the stain into one section at a time and lift the excess before moving on, which keeps lap marks from forming.

Floor Staining Throughout Groton
We stain floors in Groton Bank houses, ranches near Poquonnock Bridge and Long Hill and homes in Noank, Old Mystic and Center Groton. Decades of sun turned a lot of this oak orange, so we sand it clean, tape sample shades in your rooms and seal the color once it cures.

Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Around Groton the two most requested looks are mahogany and natural oak. Name a shade and a taped sample of it goes on your floor before you commit.
Natural Look, No Stain
A Poquonnock Bridge ranch keeps its oak light and true, with only a clear finish over the wood.
Gray and Driftwood Tones
Light gray works well in a remodeled Groton ranch with white shaker cabinets.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
Espresso grounds a Groton Bank colonial and makes its bright white trim stand out.
Custom Color Mixing
A Noank family picked a blend of two cans that landed between honey and walnut.
Red Oak Toning
Red oak near Bluff Point gets a toner, and its pink undertone settles into warm brown.
Color Change on Old Floors
Orange floors in older Old Mystic homes are sanded off and turned mahogany.

Other Flooring Jobs Across Groton
A real color change starts with sanding to raw wood, and the same crew installs hardwood, laminate and vinyl plank and rebuilds stairs.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat will staining my floors cost in Groton?
Staining runs $2.00/Sq Ft, covering sample patches on your floor, hand applied color and a clear top coat. If the floor needs a complete sanding, stain and three coats of poly, that is the $2.50/Sq Ft refinishing rate.
Can I see the color before the whole floor is done?
Yes, two or three shades get taped off on your sanded oak. You choose in daylight before the crew continues.
Can my orange Groton Bank floor go gray?
Red oak takes gray after sanding and a toner that cancels the pink. We test it on your boards first.
How long does staining take?
Count on two days to sand and stain a first floor, with the top coat following. Plan on three to four days in all.
Does the stain smell?
Oil stain has an odor for a day. The water based top coat clears fast, and the house airs out by morning.
Can you match an addition to my old cottage floor?
Yes, we blend stains on site and test on scrap until the two floors read as one.
Do you move the furniture?
We move everything for a flat $250. Small items are yours to pack.
When is payment due?
Fifty percent when the sanders start and fifty percent at the last coat. No deposit ahead of time.
