Wood Floor Staining Options
Victorians on Main Street, capes on Grove Street and ranches on Penfield Hill all have oak ready for a new color. Samples come first on your floor, then the crew stains each room.

The old finish is sanded off entirely, a fine screen buffer smooths the oak and the dust is lifted twice. Color is rubbed in by hand.

Fine Grit Sanding First
Sander scratches turn into dark streaks under color, so a buffer with fine screens follows and a vacuum clears the dust.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
Stain is wiped onto one patch at a time and the excess pulled off before the next, so lap marks never show at the seams.

Portland staining is done by Brazil Floors employees, NWFA trained and insured, with labor warranted for twelve months.

/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST
Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Walnut browns and natural oak are the shades Portland owners ask about most. Name another color and a square of it goes on your floor.
Natural Look, No Stain
A Silver Street Victorian keeps its oak light and true, with only a clear finish over the wood.
Gray and Driftwood Tones
Light gray works well in a remodeled Penfield Hill ranch with white shaker cabinets.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
Espresso grounds a Rose Hill colonial and sets off its white trim.
Custom Color Mixing
A family on Cotton Hill Road mixed two cans and landed between honey and walnut.
Red Oak Toning
Red oak on Grove Street gets a toner, and its pink undertone settles into warm brown.
Color Change on Old Floors
Orange floors in older Main Street homes are sanded off and turned deep chestnut.

Other Flooring Jobs Across Portland
Going darker or lighter requires sanding to bare wood, and the same team installs hardwood, laminate and vinyl plank and builds stairs.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does staining cost in Portland?
Portland staining is $2.00/Sq Ft and includes samples on your own floor, hand applied color and a clear protective top coat. A full sanding with stain and three coats falls under our $2.50/Sq Ft refinishing.
Can orange oak turn brown?
Yes. Once Portland oak is sanded to bare wood it takes brown, walnut or chestnut cleanly, with no orange showing through.
Which shades do Portland homeowners choose?
Walnut browns and natural oak lead around Portland, with espresso, light gray and custom blends close behind.
Can you stain stairs between two floors?
Yes. Edgers and hand scrapers reach the corners a drum sander skips, and the stain is balanced with the floors at both ends of the stairs.
How long does stain take to dry?
Most stains are dry by morning, and a touch test on your Portland floor comes before any clear coat so nothing lifts.
Should we leave the house during staining?
Plenty of Portland households stay home, though some spend a night away while the finish cures and the smell fades.
How fast can you schedule the work?
Often the day after we measure, and one small crew stays with the job from the first sanding pass to the final seal.
Is the staining guaranteed?
Yes. Our own NWFA trained staff stain your Portland floor, and the labor is covered for twelve months.

Floor Staining in Nearby Towns
Sample visits also cover Middletown and East Hampton, plus Glastonbury and Cromwell, often as soon as the next day.
Middletown owners tape off sample colors on their own oak and compare them first.
East Hampton lake houses often pick honey brown, rubbed into fresh oak by hand.
Glastonbury colonials favor deep brown stains that flatter painted trim and old doors.
Cromwell homes get a blend mixed on site that ties an addition to old oak.
Marlborough ranches go from orange oak to a calm walnut brown after a full sanding.
