Samples on Your Own Wood
Blue tape marks off each sample on sanded oak, so the shades can be viewed together in bright sun and in the shade of a window.

Marks left by the sander look dark once stained, which is why a fine screen buffer smooths the oak first and the vacuum follows.
We stain one small section at a time and lift the excess before moving along, so overlap lines never appear.
Staining in North Canaan is done by Brazil Floors employees with NWFA training and insurance, and the labor is warrantied for twelve months.



The rate is $2.00/Sq Ft and includes sample patches on your own boards, color applied by hand and a clear protective top coat. If sanding is needed as well, the full refinish costs $2.50/Sq Ft.
Yes, small patches go on your sanded oak and you look at them by your own windows and lamps. The remaining boards stay untouched until you choose.
A toner that neutralizes the red can do it, and we prove the shade on a patch first. Warm browns and natural tones are simpler than a deep gray.
Stain soaks in only where the wood is bare, so the old finish must be removed first. That work is part of the $2.50/Sq Ft refinishing service.
Wear socks for the first day and keep furniture out for two. The coating keeps curing for about two weeks.
Our crew does, for a flat $250, out and back. Nothing is left stacked in the hallway.
Sanding is billed in two halves, the first at the start and the second after the final coat. Material is paid when it is delivered.
