Samples on Your Own Wood
Each test color is boxed with blue tape on the sanded oak, so the choice is made against the real floor, in window light and in the shade of the hall.

Sanding scratches turn dark under stain, so the floor is buffed with fine screens and vacuumed twice before any color goes on.
Stain is wiped onto one section at a time and the excess pulled before the next begins, so no lap lines show between areas.
Staining in Natick is done by Brazil Floors employees who are NWFA trained and insured, with twelve months of warranty on the labor.



Staining runs $2.00/Sq Ft, which covers the sample colors on your floor, the hand applied stain and a clear protective top coat. If the boards also need a full sanding and three coats of poly, that complete refinishing is $2.50/Sq Ft, and we tell you which one your floor needs at the free visit.
