/ Floor Staining IN HARTFORD
Wood Floor Staining Options
Victorians on Asylum Hill, three-families in Frog Hollow and condos along Capitol Avenue all have oak waiting for a new color. Taped off samples come first, then our Hartford hardwood floor staining crew finishes each room by hand.
Floor Staining
Every trace of the old finish comes off under the sander, fine screens on the buffer level the oak, and two vacuum passes clear the dust. Then the color goes on by hand and the surplus is lifted.

/ LOCAL STAINING CREW
Floor Staining Throughout Hartford
We stain floors in Asylum Hill Victorians, Frog Hollow and Parkville three-families, Barry Square two-families and West End colonials. Many of these floors went orange decades ago, so we take them to clean browns, grays and walnuts chosen on the boards themselves.
/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST
Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Dark walnut and natural oak are the two favorites across the city. Pick any shade you like and we tape off a patch of it on your floor.
Natural Look, No Stain
A Parkville two-family keeps its oak light and natural, with only a clear coat on top.
Gray and Driftwood Tones
Light gray suits a remodeled condo near Capitol Avenue with white cabinets.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
Espresso anchors a West End Victorian and makes its white painted trim pop.
Custom Color Mixing
A Frog Hollow family mixed two cans and landed between honey and chestnut.
Red Oak Toning
Red oak near Elizabeth Park gets a toner, and the pink undertone settles into warm brown.
Color Change on Old Floors
Orange floors in older Upper Albany houses are sanded off and taken to dark walnut.
/ Floors, Stairs and Repair
Refinishing, Oak Stairs and Vinyl in Hartford
Alongside staining, we resand whole floors, build oak stairs over carpeted ones, replace damaged strips and lay vinyl plank where water is a worry.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does floor staining cost in Hartford?
Staining is $2.00/Sq Ft, including samples on your floor, hand applied color and a clear top coat. When the boards need a complete resand and three poly coats as well, the job moves to our $2.50/Sq Ft refinishing rate.
Can orange oak in a Victorian go brown?
Yes. Once the old orange finish is sanded off, bare oak takes brown, walnut or gray without that tint showing through.
Which colors do Hartford homeowners pick most?
Dark walnut and natural oak lead, with espresso, light gray and custom blends right behind.
Do you stain stairs in a three-family?
Yes. Edgers and hand scrapers reach where the big sander cannot, and the steps get colored to match both floors.
How long does stain take to dry?
Most stains dry overnight. We test the surface before the clear coat goes on so nothing smears.
Should we stay somewhere else during staining?
Many families stay home, but some spend a night away while the finish cures because of the odor.
How fast can you schedule it?
Usually the day after the measure, and the same crew handles sanding, stain and seal start to finish.
Is the staining guaranteed?
Yes. Our own NWFA certified crew does the work, and the labor carries a twelve month warranty.
