Fine Grit Sanding First
A sanding swirl shows up as a dark streak under stain, so the floor is screened with fine grit and vacuumed twice before color goes on.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
Stain is applied one section at a time and the excess wiped before the next section begins, so no lap marks show where they meet.

Kent staining is done by Brazil Floors employees, NWFA trained and insured, with twelve months of warranty on the labor.
/ LOCAL STAINING CREW
Floor Staining Throughout Kent
We stain floors in Kent Center village houses, South Kent hill homes and farmhouses near Kent Falls and Macedonia. Much of that wood has gone orange or gray with age, so we sand it bare, tape off samples where you can judge them and seal the color once it cures.
/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST
Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Natural and medium brown are the favorites in Kent, with a few hill homes going dark. Whatever shade you are weighing goes down as a taped sample on your floor first.
Natural Look, No Stain
A Kent farmhouse keeps its pine pale with a clear coat and no stain at all.
Gray and Driftwood Tones
Driftwood gray suits a renovated barn house above South Kent with white walls.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
Dark walnut grounds a Kent Center parlor and sets off the old painted trim.
Custom Color Mixing
A Kent family blended two stains to land between honey and medium brown.
Red Oak Toning
Red oak in a village house on Route 7 gets a toner so its pink cast turns warm brown.
Color Change on Old Floors
Orange floors in a 1980s hill home are sanded off and taken to deep espresso.

Other Flooring Work Across Kent
A new color means sanding to bare wood first, and the same crew also installs hardwood, laminate and vinyl plank and builds oak stairs in Kent.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does floor staining cost in Kent?
Two dollars a Sq Ft covers the taped samples, the hand applied color and a clear coat on top. If the floor needs a full sand plus three coats of poly, that is the $2.50/Sq Ft refinishing price.
Can orange oak go brown?
Yes. Once we sand away the old finish, a brown stain with a cool base pulls the orange out of red oak.
How many samples do you put down?
Three or four taped squares is normal, more if you are still deciding.
Can antique pine be stained?
It can, though pine takes stain unevenly, so we condition it first and test a sample. Many Kent owners keep it clear instead.
Does woodstove heat change the result?
Not the color. Dry air speeds drying, so the schedule shifts and the clear coat waits until the stain has fully cured.
When can we walk on the floor?
Socks after a day, furniture after two. Rugs wait about two weeks.
Who does the staining?
Our own NWFA trained, insured employees. Nothing in Kent goes to a subcontractor.
How is payment handled?
Half the first morning and the balance at the last coat, with a one year warranty on the labor.
