Samples on Your Own Wood
Blue tape frames each sample on the sanded oak so the colors sit next to each other, in the window light and in the dim corner.

/ Floor Staining IN HAMDEN
Wood Floor Staining Options
Capes in Spring Glen, two-families in Highwood and colonials up in Mount Carmel all have oak ready for a fresh look. Taped off samples come first, then our Hamden hardwood floor staining crew completes each room.
Floor Staining
The old finish comes off entirely, a fine screen buffer smooths the grain and the dust is vacuumed twice. Stain is then worked in by hand and the excess wiped away.

Fine Grit Sanding First
Scratches from the sander show as dark lines once stain hits them, so a fine screen buffer follows and the vacuum clears the dust.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
Color goes on one section at a time and the surplus is wiped before moving on, which keeps lap marks out of the finished floor.

/ LOCAL STAINING CREW
Floor Staining Throughout Hamden
We stain floors in Spring Glen capes, Highwood two-families, Mount Carmel colonials and homes in Whitneyville, Centerville and along Dunbar Hill. Many of these floors turned orange under old varnish, and a new color brings the grain back.
/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST
Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Mahogany and natural oak are big favorites around town. Name a shade and it gets taped off on your floor before any decision.
Natural Look, No Stain
A Whitneyville 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 Dunbar Hill ranch with white shaker cabinets.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
Espresso grounds a Mount Carmel colonial and makes its bright white trim stand out.
Custom Color Mixing
A Centerville family picked a blend of two cans that landed between honey and walnut.
Red Oak Toning
Red oak near Brooksvale Park gets a toner, and its pink undertone settles into warm brown.
Color Change on Old Floors
Orange floors in older Spring Glen homes are sanded off and turned mahogany.

Other Flooring Jobs Across Hamden
A new color means sanding to raw wood first, 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 Hamden?
Staining runs $2.00/Sq Ft and includes stain samples on your own floor, hand applied color and a clear top coat. When the floor needs the complete sand, stain and three coats, that is the $2.50/Sq Ft refinishing job.
Can orange oak in my Spring Glen cape be turned brown?
Yes, once the old orange finish is sanded away, fresh oak takes brown, walnut or mahogany without that tint. The sample on your floor shows it before we commit.
How many colors can I try?
Three or four is typical, all taped off side by side on the sanded boards. Check them in the morning and again at dusk before choosing.
Will the stain match a newer addition?
Cans get mixed in the driveway and tried on scrap until the addition and the original floor agree. You approve the last sample on the floor itself.
Does gray work on red oak?
Yes, if a toner goes on first to neutralize the pink. Skip that and gray on red oak comes out muddy.
How long before we can walk on it?
Socks after 24 hours and furniture after 48. Humid weeks can add a day to the cure.
What is the payment schedule for staining?
Fifty percent on the first morning and fifty percent at the last coat. No deposit ahead of the work.
Who applies the stain?
Only staff on the Brazil Floors payroll, NWFA trained and insured. Their work is guaranteed for twelve months.
