Samples on Your Own Wood
We put several stain choices next to each other on bare wood close to a window. Look at them with your morning coffee and again at night, then point to the winner.

Stain highlights every swirl mark, which is why the last sanding pass uses fine grit and we vacuum twice before a drop of color touches the wood.
Color is worked into a few planks at once, with leftover stain buffed away before it can pool. Doing it that way, the mudroom and the far corner end up the same shade.
No subs here. Our own NWFA trained techs, fully licensed and insured, handle every room. Any stain problem traced to our labor in year one gets fixed free.



Color alone is $2.00/Sq Ft. If we are already sanding and refinishing your floors at $2.50/Sq Ft, the stain comes as part of that job at no added cost.
Our tech brushes four or five real stains onto a sanded corner. Leave them there for a day, check them when the kids get home from school and again after supper, then choose.
It does. Red oak has open grain with a pink undertone, while white oak reads cooler and steadier. A sample patch on your own floor settles the question fast.
Yes, after it is sanded down to bare wood. Very dark stain sometimes needs an extra pass before all the old color comes out.
Most often the sanding was uneven, or stain sat too long before someone wiped it. We use fine grit, vacuum carefully and wipe quickly so color stays uniform.
Stain must dry fully before the clear layer is applied, and that finish then needs its own curing time. Your project manager sets the schedule for your rooms.
Same as refinishing. Pay 50% when sanding begins on day one. The balance is due after the final clear layer, once you have walked the rooms and are happy.
