/ Floor Staining IN HARTLAND
Wood Floor Staining Options
West Hartland farmhouses, East Hartland capes and colonials on the wooded lots near Tunxis State Forest all have oak ready for a new color. Taped off samples come first, then our Hartland hardwood floor staining crew finishes each room.
Floor Staining
The sander takes the old finish down to clean oak, a buffer with fine screens levels the surface and we vacuum twice. The color is worked in by hand and the extra is wiped away before it sets.

Fine Grit Sanding First
Any scratch the sander leaves turns into a dark streak under stain, so a buffer with fine screens follows and the vacuum collects the dust before color goes on.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
We stain one manageable section at a time and pull the excess before moving on, which keeps lap lines from showing where sections meet.

Hartland staining is done by Brazil Floors employees, NWFA trained and insured, with a twelve month warranty on the labor.
/ LOCAL STAINING CREW
Floor Staining Throughout Hartland
We stain floors in Hartland farmhouses, East Hartland capes, West Hartland colonials and homes above the Barkhamsted Reservoir. Most of that oak has gone orange over the years, so it is sanded back to clean wood, samples are taped off where you can see them and the color is sealed once dry.
/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST
Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Dark walnut and natural oak lead the list in Hartland. Whatever shade you have in mind, a taped sample on your own boards settles it before anyone commits.
Natural Look, No Stain
A Hartland cape keeps its oak light and plain with nothing but a clear coat.
Gray and Driftwood Tones
Light gray suits a remodeled Hartland ranch with white shaker cabinets.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
Espresso grounds a Hartland colonial and makes the white trim stand out.
Custom Color Mixing
A Hartland family mixed two cans and landed between honey and walnut.
Red Oak Toning
Red oak in a West Hartland farmhouse gets a toner so its pink cast settles into warm brown.
Color Change on Old Floors
Orange floors in older East Hartland capes are sanded off and turned deep walnut.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does floor staining cost in Hartland?
Staining runs $2.00/Sq Ft and includes samples on your own floor, hand applied color and a clear protective coat. The complete sand, stain and three coats of poly is our $2.50/Sq Ft refinishing.
Can orange oak be turned brown?
Yes. With the old finish sanded off, a cool brown stain cancels the orange in red oak.
How many sample colors do you put down?
Three or four squares on the sanded floor is normal. If you are still deciding, we add more.
Does gray work on red oak in a Hartland farmhouse?
It does once a toner knocks back the pink undertone first. We show you a sample before committing.
Does woodstove heat affect the stain?
Not the color, but very dry air speeds drying, so we adjust the schedule. The clear coat goes on once the stain has fully set.
When can we walk on the floor?
Socks after one day, furniture after two. Area rugs wait about two weeks.
Who does the staining?
Our own NWFA trained, insured employees, and nothing in Hartland goes to a subcontractor.
How is staining paid for?
Half the first morning and the balance when the final coat goes on. The labor is warrantied for a year.
/ NEARBY STAINING
Floor Staining in Nearby Towns
Stain sample visits reach Barkhamsted and Granby, Colebrook, New Hartford and Winchester as well, usually the day after you call.
Barkhamsted homeowners tape off a few sample colors before choosing at $2.00/Sq Ft.
Granby colonials often pick honey brown, rubbed by hand into fresh oak.
Colebrook farmhouses lean toward warm brown, which flatters old trim.
New Hartford homes choose dark walnut, which warms up older oak.
Winchester homes get a blend mixed on site, tying an addition to the old boards.
