Fine Grit Sanding First
Sander marks turn into dark streaks under stain, so the floor is screened fine and vacuumed twice before any color goes down.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
Pine and chestnut take stain unevenly, so antique floors get a conditioner first. Oak is stained section by section with the excess wiped before the next section starts.

One Year Staining Warranty
Litchfield 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 Litchfield
We stain floors in South Street antiques, Route 63 colonials, East Litchfield capes and Bantam Lake cottages. Much of the oak has gone orange and much of the pine has gone yellow, so it is 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
Litchfield likes its old boards natural or lightly toned and its newer oak medium brown. Any color you are weighing is taped onto your floor as a sample before the decision.
Natural Look, No Stain
A South Street antique keeps its chestnut natural under a clear coat, no stain at all.
Gray and Driftwood Tones
A Route 63 colonial takes a medium brown that quiets the orange in red oak.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
Pine in a Bantam Lake cottage gets a light driftwood tone after a conditioner.
Custom Color Mixing
A West Street family blended two stains to land between honey and walnut.
Red Oak Toning
Dark walnut in an East Litchfield cape sets off white trim and black iron hardware.
Color Change on Old Floors
Yellowed pine in a carriage house near the green is sanded and taken to a soft gray.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does floor staining cost in Litchfield?
$2.00/Sq Ft, covering taped samples, hand applied color and a clear coat. If the floor needs a full sand and three coats of poly, that is refinishing at $2.50/Sq Ft.
Can pine take stain evenly?
With a conditioner first, yes. Without it pine blotches, which is why antique floors get that extra step.
Can orange oak go brown?
Yes. Once the old finish is off, a cool brown stain cancels the orange in red oak.
How many sample squares do I get?
Three or four as a rule, more if you are undecided.
Does gray work on old pine?
A soft gray works well on pine after a conditioner. You see a taped sample before anything is committed.
When can we walk on it?
In socks the next day, furniture the day after, rugs once two weeks have passed.
Who does the staining?
Our own NWFA trained, insured employees. Nothing in Litchfield goes to a subcontractor.
How is payment handled?
Half when we start, the rest after the last coat, with a one year labor warranty.
