Samples on Your Own Wood
Blue tape frames each test square on your bare oak, and every square gets a different stain so you compare them side by side.

Old city floors often hide deep marks, which come out with sanding before a fine screen and a careful vacuum leave the oak clean.
Color is laid down in short stretches and lifted before drying, which keeps blotches and lap lines out of older, thirsty oak.
Our employees stain every city floor, each one NWFA trained, licensed and insured, and every job includes a year of labor coverage.



City jobs, from apartments to Victorians, start at a modest $2.00 per square foot. We settle the exact price during a free visit.
Yes. Condos and apartments are a big part of our city work, and we plan the schedule around your building rules.
Walnut and reddish browns are common, with cool gray, natural oak and custom mixes also popular.
We check the oak at the estimate. Most older floors still have enough wood left for one more careful sanding.
Older oak can be thirsty in some spots, so we sand evenly and wipe the stain quickly to keep the color steady.
We work it out with you before the job, including where the crew parks and how materials get inside.
Many times the next morning, and our own people take the floor through each step without outside help.
Twelve months on labor. Our licensed, insured people color the floor themselves, never subcontractors.
