Fine Grit Sanding First
A sanding scratch reads as a dark streak once stained, so the floor is buffed with fine screens and vacuumed clean before any color touches it.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
Color goes on a section at a time and the surplus is wiped before the next section starts, so no lap line marks where they join.

/ LOCAL STAINING CREW
Floor Staining Throughout Harwinton
We stain floors in Harwinton capes, Campville farmhouses, colonials near Harwinton Center and homes off Route 118. Much of that oak has yellowed with age, so we sand it to bare wood, tape off samples where you can judge them and seal the color once it dries.
/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST
Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Dark walnut and natural oak lead the list in Harwinton. Any shade you are considering goes down as a taped sample on your boards before a decision is made.
Natural Look, No Stain
A Harwinton cape keeps its oak light and plain with nothing but a clear coat.
Gray and Driftwood Tones
Light gray suits a remodeled Route 118 ranch with white shaker cabinets.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
Espresso grounds a Harwinton colonial and makes the white trim stand out.
Custom Color Mixing
A Harwinton family mixed two cans and landed between honey and walnut.
Red Oak Toning
Red oak in a Campville farmhouse gets a toner so its pink cast settles into warm brown.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does floor staining cost in Harwinton?
Two dollars per Sq Ft, covering samples on your floor, color applied by hand and a clear top coat. The full sand with stain and three coats of poly is the $2.50/Sq Ft refinishing service.
Can orange oak be turned brown?
Yes. Once the old finish is gone, a cool brown stain neutralizes the orange in red oak.
How many sample colors do you put down?
Three or four taped squares is typical, and more if you are still torn.
Does gray work on red oak in a Harwinton farmhouse?
Yes, after a toner tames the pink undertone. A sample goes down first so you see it before committing.
Does dry winter heat change the result?
Not the color. Dry air shortens the drying time, so the schedule shifts and the clear coat waits until the stain has cured.
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 Harwinton goes to a subcontractor.
How is staining paid for?
Fifty percent on the first morning and the rest at the final coat, with a one year warranty on the labor.
/ NEARBY STAINING
Floor Staining in Nearby Towns
Stain sample visits reach Torrington and Burlington, Thomaston, Litchfield and Bristol as well, usually the day after you call.
Torrington homeowners tape off a few sample colors before choosing at $2.00/Sq Ft.
Burlington colonials often pick honey brown, rubbed by hand into fresh oak.
Thomaston houses lean toward warm brown, which flatters old trim.
Litchfield homes choose dark walnut, which warms up older oak.
Bristol homes get a blend mixed on site, tying an addition to the old boards.
