Wood Floor Staining Options
Colonials, ranches and mid-century houses around New Canaan have oak ready for a new color. Samples go down on your own boards first, and our staining crew finishes the room after you choose.
Floor Staining
We strip the old coating, level the oak with a fine-screen buffer and vacuum twice. Color then goes on by hand, with the excess wiped off before it can set.

Fine Grit Sanding First
Scratches from a sander darken under stain, so buffing with a fine screen and vacuuming come ahead of any color.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
We stain one patch at a time and lift the extra immediately, so no lap lines mark where one section meets the next.

One Year Staining Warranty
Brazil Floors employees do the staining, trained by the NWFA and insured. The labor is warrantied for twelve months.
/ LOCAL STAINING CREW
New Canaan Floor Staining Experts
We stain floors in colonials, ranches, split-levels and modern additions around town. Many have turned orange, so each is taken back to bare oak, samples go down in your rooms, and the seal waits until the stain is fully dry.
/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST
Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Dark walnut and natural oak lead the orders in New Canaan. Whatever shade you like, a sample patch goes on your own floor before any commitment.
Natural Look, No Stain
A sunlit ranch stays natural, with only a clear finish over the bare oak.
Gray and Driftwood Tones
Greige tones pair with the white shaker cabinets in a freshly remodeled kitchen.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
A dark espresso floor lends a formal living room weight and frames its white trim.
Custom Color Mixing
After mixing two cans on the spot, one couple settled on a shade between honey and walnut.
Red Oak Toning
Pink undertones in red oak fade under a toner, leaving a warm brown.
Color Change on Old Floors
Older colonials with orange floors are sanded back and finished in deep mahogany.
/ Floors, Stairs and Repair
Other Flooring Jobs in New Canaan
Fresh color needs bare wood, so the same crew also installs hardwood, laminate and vinyl plank and builds stairs throughout town.

Expect $2.00/Sq Ft, which covers sample patches on your own floor, hand applied color and a clear protective top coat. The exact quote is fixed at the free visit.
Is it possible to take orange oak to brown?
It can, once the orange finish is removed. Bare oak then accepts brown, walnut or mahogany with no trouble.
What colors do people here usually choose?
Dark walnut and natural oak lead the orders, and espresso, light gray and custom blends follow.
Will you stain the stairs as well?
Yes. Small hand tools get into the tight corners, so the steps end up matching the floors on both levels.
How soon is the stain dry?
Typically by the next morning, confirmed by a touch test before the clear coat.
Should we move out while you work?
Most families remain in the house. Some choose a night elsewhere while the finish cures, mostly to skip the smell.
How quickly can staining be scheduled?
Generally the day after we measure, with one small crew covering sanding, stain and seal.
Does the staining come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our own NWFA trained employees do the work, and the labor carries twelve months of warranty.

Floor Staining in Nearby Towns
Stain sample visits are also available in Darien, Stamford, Wilton, Norwalk and Westport, usually the day after you call.
Darien owners tape off a handful of sample colors and compare them side by side over a day.
Stamford homes favor a honey brown that is rubbed into the oak by hand.
Wilton rooms feel calm in soft gray, especially across open floor plans.
Norwalk houses go for dark walnut, which gives older oak some warmth.
Westport additions get a custom blend that ties new oak to the old.
