Sander swirls show right through stain, so the last pass is a fine grit and the room gets vacuumed carefully before any color goes down.
Stain goes on by hand with a pad, and whatever doesn't soak in is wiped off right away, which keeps the color steady from one side of the room to the other.
Stain work is handled by techs from our own NWFA trained staff, fully licensed and insured, and labor on every job is warrantied a full year.

Dark colors do show dust and pet hair sooner than medium ones. They look great, but if you have a light colored dog, a medium brown might be easier to live with.

Each stain has to dry before clear finish can go over it, usually overnight depending on the color and humidity. The whole job usually takes a few days.

Yes. A twelve month labor warranty is part of every staining job, and the work is done by our certified crew, licensed and insured, never subcontractors.
