Wood Floor Staining Options
Colonials around the Green, capes on Goose Lane and farmhouses up in North Guilford all have oak ready for a fresh look. Taped off samples come first, then our Guilford hardwood floor staining crew finishes each room.
Floor Staining
The old finish is sanded away completely, the oak buffed smooth with fine screens and vacuumed twice over. Stain is worked in by hand and the excess lifted before it sets.

Fine Grit Sanding First
Stain darkens every scratch the drum sander leaves, so a fine screen buffing and a thorough vacuum come before any color.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
The floor is stained in manageable sections, excess wiped before the next begins, so no lap line shows where two sections meet.

/ LOCAL STAINING CREW
Floor Staining Throughout Guilford
We stain floors in colonials around the Green, capes along Goose Lane, cottages at Sachem's Head and homes in North Guilford and near Guilford Lakes. Much of this oak has gone orange with age, so it is sanded clean, sample shades are taped off in your rooms and the chosen color is sealed once dry.
/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST
Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Mahogany and natural oak lead the requests in Guilford. Pick any color you like and we tape off a sample on your floor first.
Natural Look, No Stain
A Goose Lane cape 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 Guilford ranch with white shaker cabinets.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
Espresso grounds a colonial near the Green and makes its bright white trim stand out.
Custom Color Mixing
A Sachem's Head family picked a blend of two cans that landed between honey and walnut.
Red Oak Toning
Red oak near Chittenden Park gets a toner, and its pink undertone settles into warm brown.
Color Change on Old Floors
Orange floors in older North Guilford farmhouses are sanded off and turned mahogany.

Other Flooring Jobs Across Guilford
Taking a floor darker or lighter means sanding it to bare oak first, and the crew that does it also installs hardwood, laminate and vinyl plank and builds stairs.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat will staining my floors cost in Guilford?
Floor staining is $2.00/Sq Ft and includes test patches on your boards, hand rubbed color and a clear protective coat. A full sand, stain and three coats of poly falls under the $2.50/Sq Ft refinishing price.
Do I get to approve the color before you stain every room?
Yes. Two or three colors are taped off on the sanded floor and you decide in daylight before we go further.
Can my orange colonial floor near the Green go gray?
Red oak can go gray once it is sanded and a toner neutralizes the pink. We prove it on your floor before committing.
How long does staining take?
Sanding and staining a first floor runs about two days, and the top coat comes after. Three to four days covers it.
Does the stain smell?
Oil based stain smells for about a day. The water based top coat has little odor, and the house is clear by the next morning.
Our addition is newer oak. Can you make it match the original floor?
Yes. Custom blends are mixed on site and tried on scrap boards until the addition and the original floor look like one.
Do you move the furniture?
Furniture moving is a flat $250 for the whole house. You pack the small things.
When is payment due?
Half on the morning the sanding begins, half when the final coat goes down. Nothing is paid before that.
