Wood Floor Staining Options
Oak in Broad Street houses, strip floors in Colony Street two families and boards in South Meriden can all take a new color. Taped samples come first, then our Meriden hardwood floor staining crew does the rooms.
Floor Staining
The old finish comes off to bare wood, fine screens smooth the surface and a vacuum passes twice. After that the color is rubbed in by hand and surplus is wiped up.

Fine Grit Sanding First
Scratches from sanding show up as dark streaks under stain, so fine screening and a second vacuum pass are done before any color.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
Stain goes over a small section, the excess is lifted off and only then is the next section started, which keeps lap marks away.

Floor Staining Throughout Meriden
We stain floors in Broad Street houses, Colony Street two families, South Meriden ranches and homes near Hubbard Park. Plenty of that oak has aged to orange, so it gets sanded clean, samples are taped where you can see them and the chosen color is sealed after it dries.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does staining cost in Meriden?
A Meriden staining job is $2.00/Sq Ft, covering samples on your own boards, hand applied color and a clear protective top coat. If the floor needs a complete sand and three poly coats, that is refinishing and it bills at $2.50/Sq Ft.
Can orange oak turn brown?
Yes. With the orange finish gone, raw wood takes brown, walnut or espresso cleanly.
Which shades do Meriden owners pick?
Walnut and natural oak top the Meriden list, with soft gray and honey brown just behind.
Do you stain tall stairs?
Yes. Hand tools get into the corners and risers that machines skip, and the color is matched across both floors.
How long should stain dry?
Most stains dry overnight. We check the surface before sealing it.
Should we stay home during staining?
Plenty of families stay in Meriden homes during the work, though some prefer to be out for the sanding and the first night.
How is staining paid for?
Sanding is paid in two installments, the first when it starts and the second after the final coat. Other labor is paid when the crew arrives.
Who does the staining?
Meriden staining is done by our own NWFA certified, insured employees, with twelve months of warranty on labor.
