Oak in Gales Ferry raised ranches, wide boards in Ledyard Center colonials and newer oak near Long Pond can all take a new color. Taped samples go down first, then our Ledyard hardwood floor staining crew does the rooms.

Fine Grit Sanding First
Sander swirls read as dark streaks once stained, so the floor is screened fine and vacuumed twice before color touches it.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
Stain goes on one section at a time and the surplus is wiped before the next begins, which keeps lap marks out of the seams.

/ LOCAL STAINING CREW
Floor Staining Throughout Ledyard
We stain floors in Gales Ferry raised ranches, colonials near Ledyard Center and homes by Long Pond and Lantern Hill. Much of that oak has gone orange with age, so it gets sanded bare, sample squares are taped where you can see them and the color is sealed once it cures.
/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST
Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Medium brown and natural are the favorites in Ledyard, with a few newer homes going dark. Any color on your short list is taped onto your floor before a decision is made.
Natural Look, No Stain
A Ledyard Center colonial keeps its oak pale with a clear coat and no stain at all.
Gray and Driftwood Tones
Light gray suits a remodeled Gales Ferry kitchen with white cabinets.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
Dark walnut grounds a home near Long Pond and sets off the white trim.
Custom Color Mixing
A Ledyard family blended two stains to land between honey and medium brown.
Red Oak Toning
Red oak in a Gales Ferry ranch gets a toner so its pink cast turns warm brown.
Color Change on Old Floors
Orange floors in a 1980s Christy Hill colonial are sanded off and taken to espresso.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does floor staining cost in Ledyard?
$2.00/Sq Ft, including taped samples, hand rubbed color and a clear coat. A floor that needs the full sand and three coats of poly is refinishing at $2.50/Sq Ft.
Can orange oak be made brown?
Yes. With the old finish sanded away, a cool brown stain neutralizes red oak's orange.
How many samples go down?
Three or four taped squares as a rule, and extra if you are torn.
Does gray work on red oak?
Yes, after a toner tames the pink undertone. You see a taped sample first, before anything is committed.
Does summer humidity change the result?
Not the color. Damp air slows drying, so the schedule stretches and the clear coat waits until the stain has fully cured.
When can we walk on it?
Socks after a day, furniture after two. Rugs wait about two weeks.
Who does the staining?
Our own NWFA trained, insured employees. Nothing in Ledyard goes to a subcontractor.
How is payment handled?
Half when we start, the rest after the last coat, with twelve months of labor warranty.
