/ WOOD FLOOR STAINING IN LEXINGTON
Wood Floor Staining Options
Floors in the glass walled modernist homes around town sit in daylight from dawn to dusk, so color choice matters. After sanding, we put real stain on small test squares right on your oak. Once you choose, our crew carries that tone through every room of your Lexington home and seals it in.
Floor Staining
Once the last fine sanding is done, our crew rubs stain into the pores with rags, then lifts off whatever the wood didn't absorb, which prevents lap marks.

Fine Grit Sanding First
Dark stain magnifies sanding swirls, so the final pass is done with fine screens, followed by careful vacuuming of floors, sills and vents.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
We apply stain in manageable sections with clean rags and wipe away the excess immediately, so the hearth corner and the doorway end up an identical shade.

/ LOCAL STAINING CREW
Lexington Floor Staining Contractors
Big windows in homes near Meriam Hill and Lexington Centre let afternoon sun rake across the floor and reveal every streak. That's why we finish sanding with fine grit, judge samples in the brightest corner, and seal the stain you approve under a protective clear finish.
/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST
Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Honey natural, cool gray, warm brown, rich walnut or nearly black: whatever direction you lean, you'll see it on your actual floor first.
Natural Look, No Stain
A Five Fields living room keeps oak's natural color with just a clear finish on top.
Gray and Driftwood Tones
Soft gray looks crisp next to bright white trim in the sunny rooms close to Four Corners.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
In a den near Munroe Hill, rich walnut reached every corner without dark lines along the walls.
Custom Color Mixing
A one of a kind mix of two stain colors gave a dining room near Belfry Hill a tone no store carries.
Red Oak Toning
In sunny East Lexington rooms, a toner pulls the pinkish tint out of red oak before any brown goes on.
Color Change on Old Floors
Older oak near Countryside gets sanded clean, then moved a few shades toward honey or toward dark coffee.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does floor staining cost?
Staining costs $2.00/Sq Ft, added to our $2.50/Sq Ft rate for sanding and clear finish. Your free estimate lists both, so you know the full number ahead of time.
Does gray stain work on white oak?
Yes, and it usually takes gray well because of its cooler, neutral tone. Red oak can turn gray a bit pink, so we test carefully first.
What causes blotchy stain?
Usually rushed sanding, or stain sitting too long before it's wiped. Maple and birch also absorb color unevenly. We sand carefully and test before committing.
Can prefinished hardwood take stain?
Not really. Prefinished floors come with a hard, sealed surface that stain can't soak through, and many have beveled edges that are hard to sand flat.
Does espresso stain show dust?
Dark floors reveal dust, dog hair and scratches more than mid tones. Many families with pets choose a medium brown for a good balance.
Can we use the room the next day?
Once the finish dries, usually by the next day, you can walk on it lightly in clean bare feet. Wait a few days before moving heavy furniture back.
What's the payment plan for stain work?
Fifty percent when the sanders start, fifty percent when everything is done. If you'd rather not lift the couch yourself, our fee for clearing the rooms is $250.
Will the stairs match the floors?
They can. We hand sand each step plus the landing and use the same stain blend, so the color carries smoothly from the hallway up the staircase.
