/ HARDWOOD STAINING IN LEYDEN
Wood Floor Staining Options
Picking a color from a little card is a gamble, especially with low winter sun slanting through the windows. Once your oak is bare, genuine stain gets brushed onto a handful of test patches, and whichever shade wins goes into every room of your Leyden home before being sealed in.
Floor Staining
After the final fine sanding, our crew works stain into the open pores with rags, wiping up every bit of excess while it's still wet so no lap lines remain.

Fine Grit Sanding First
Darker stain exaggerates any sanding swirl, which is why the final pass is made with fine screens, then we vacuum the floor, windowsills and heat vents thoroughly.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
Stain goes on one manageable patch at a time with clean rags, and the extra is wiped off right away, so the corner by the stove and the doorway match exactly.

/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST
Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Pale honey, driftwood gray, cocoa, walnut or near black: no matter which you're drawn to, samples on your own oak come before any decision.
Natural Look, No Stain
Plenty of living rooms keep oak's own natural tone, with just a clear finish brushed on top.
Gray and Driftwood Tones
A soft gray feels clean and current beside white window trim in a sunny kitchen nook.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
In a cozy den, rich walnut covered every inch evenly, with no dark streaks along the walls.
Custom Color Mixing
For one dining room, two stains were combined to get a warm shade you can't buy off a shelf.
Red Oak Toning
Red oak can read pink in strong sun, so a neutral toner goes down before the brown.
Color Change on Old Floors
A decades old oak floor, freshly sanded, can go lighter and golden or deeper and moodier.

Stain only goes on after the whole floor has been sanded. Apart from color work, our team installs solid wood, vinyl plank and laminate, puts new treads on stairs and patches cracked strips.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat will staining add to my refinish price?
Adding color costs $2.00/Sq Ft, charged together with our $2.50/Sq Ft sanding and sealing rate. Both lines appear on your free written estimate, so the total is never a mystery.
Will gray stain look good on red oak?
Red oak can pull gray toward pink, so we always test it first. White oak tends to take gray more cleanly because its tone is cooler and more neutral.
What makes a stained floor look blotchy?
Rushed sanding, or stain that sat too long before wiping, causes most of it. Maple and birch also drink up color unevenly, so samples always go on first.
Can a prefinished floor be stained?
Not really. Prefinished planks have a hard sealed surface stain can't get through, and their beveled edges are tough to sand flat.
Do dark floors show more dust and fur?
Yes, very dark floors put dust, dog fur and small scratches on display more than mid tones. Lots of families with pets end up choosing a medium brown.
How soon can we be back on the floor?
Light walking in bare feet is usually fine the day after the finish goes on. Give it several days before sliding heavy furniture back into place.
How is staining paid for?
Fifty percent is paid when sanding begins and fifty percent at completion. Want the rooms emptied for you? Our crew handles the heavy lifting for a flat $250.
Will the staircase match the new color?
Yes. Our finishers hand sand each tread and the landing, then apply the identical blend, so hallway and steps end up one continuous color.
