/ Floor Staining IN NEW BRITAIN
Wood Floor Staining Options
Prewar flats, bungalows and two-families around Walnut Hill Park have oak underfoot that is ready for a new color. Taped samples come first, and then our New Britain hardwood floor staining crew finishes each room.
Floor Staining
Prep means stripping the old finish to raw wood, buffing it smooth and vacuuming twice. Color is rubbed in by hand and anything sitting on top is wiped off.

Custom Color Matching
Joining an old room to a newer one takes testing. We mix the color, try it on leftover boards and adjust until the two floors read as one.

Fine Grit Sanding First
A scratch left by the sander turns into a dark streak under stain, so a finer screen goes over the floor and the dust is vacuumed off.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
We wipe stain over one small patch and lift the extra before moving to the next, which keeps lap marks out of the finished room.

One Year Staining Warranty
The people holding the applicator work for Brazil Floors, are insured and NWFA trained, and stand behind the labor for a year.
/ LOCAL STAINING CREW
Floor Staining Across New Britain
We stain floors in triple-deckers, bungalows near Broad Street, ranches and rental flats. Years of wax and sunlight leave many of them orange, so we sand to clean oak, tape samples to your floor and put the top coat on after the color dries.
/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST
Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Natural oak and dark walnut are the requests we hear most. Describe any other color and a taped sample shows up on your floor.
Natural Look, No Stain
A clear coat on bare oak keeps a small flat light and open, with the grain left alone.
Gray and Driftwood Tones
Light gray stain suits a remodeled kitchen with white cabinets and brass fixtures.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
Espresso brown grounds a living room and makes white trim stand out against it.
Custom Color Mixing
A honey stain with a splash of walnut gave one couple the middle shade they had hunted for.
Red Oak Toning
A toner knocks the pink out of red oak, and what is left reads as a calm warm brown.
Color Change on Old Floors
An orange floor in a prewar flat gets sanded back and comes out a rich chestnut.

A big color change begins with sanding down to raw oak. Beyond that, the crew puts in hardwood, laminate and vinyl plank and builds stair treads.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does floor staining cost in New Britain?
It is $2.00/Sq Ft. That covers samples on your own boards, color applied by hand and a clear protective coat on top, and a free visit fixes the exact figure.
Is staining the same job as refinishing?
Not quite. Sanding to bare wood, staining and three coats of poly is the $2.50/Sq Ft refinishing job, and staining alone is the color and top coat step.
Can I preview colors on my floor?
Yes, sample squares are taped off on your own oak so you see them in your own light.
Can a dark floor go lighter?
Only after sanding to bare wood, and going lighter than a dark stain has limits. The estimator tells you what is realistic.
When can I walk on a stained floor?
Plan on socks the next day and furniture back on day three, with a little extra when the air is damp.
Will stain turn out even on old oak?
Wiping the color in small patches keeps it uniform. Blotchy spots get a toner or conditioner.
Can the stairs be stained too?
Yes, we match them to the floors. Stair refinishing is $50 per step.
How does payment work?
The crew is paid for labor when it shows up, and material is paid for when it is delivered. Jobs that include sanding split that labor into two halves, one at the start and one at the final coat.
