Samples on Your Own Wood
Before any color, the floor is sanded clean down to fresh wood. That's how stain soaks in evenly, without dark blotches or patches left over from the old finish.

Once the color is chosen, satin, semi gloss or matte finish layers go on top. Satin hides footprints well, while matte reads soft and modern in open rooms.
Test swatches go onto your sanded oak in a handful of shades. Check them by daylight and again under lamps at night, because color changes a lot between the two.
Our NWFA certified crew, licensed and insured, guarantees stain and finish labor for a full year. Half gets paid when sanding starts, the balance when we're done.



No. Refinishing is $2.50/Sq Ft, a figure that already pays for the sanding, whichever color you settle on and the layers of finish, so darker shades cost the same.
Usually, yes. Sanding strips off the old color, exposing clean wood, and then we apply the new lighter shade. Very dark stain that soaked deep may need extra sanding.
We brush several sample swatches onto your sanded floor. Study them by daylight and at night, next to your trim and furniture, then choose the one you like.
Yes. Red oak has a pinkish tone that warms up most colors, while white oak takes stain cooler and works well with grays and naturals.
Stain needs to dry before finish goes on, and the finish needs time to cure. Light barefoot walking usually comes before furniture, and we give exact timing at the estimate.
Darker shades like ebony and dark walnut show dust and light scratches faster than mid tones. If you have pets or kids, honey or golden oak can be more forgiving.
Since stain is bundled into refinishing, the bill comes in two pieces: fifty percent at the start of sanding, fifty percent once your floor has its last layer of finish.
Yes. Our NWFA certified crew guarantees its workmanship a full year, and the stains and finishes we use come with their own manufacturer warranty.
