Samples on Your Own Wood
Even color starts with even sanding. Any old finish left behind or swirl from a careless pass shows up as a blotch once stain hits it, so we take that step slowly.

Once the color is dry, clear polyurethane locks it in. You pick the sheen, from low matte to high gloss, and we apply enough layers for the shade to last.
We brush three or four possible shades near a window you walk past daily. Check them at noon and under lamps, take a day if you need it, then tell us your pick.
Brazil Floors employs every stainer who works in your home, and each is NWFA trained, insured and licensed by the state. We back that labor a year; you pay in halves.



Expect $2.00/Sq Ft for the color itself, separate from the $2.50/Sq Ft charged for sanding and clear finish. Should you want furniture moved, our team does it for $250 total.
Yes. Once sanding is done, a few test squares go in a corner, and you can study them in daylight and again under the dining room lamp before we stain the room.
Red and white oak take color differently, and every floor ages its own way. That is why we always test on your wood first.
Usually. Medium browns, special walnut in particular, calm the orange and pink tones, and we show side by side tests first.
Dust, pet hair and tiny scratches stand out more on them than on mid browns. They look great, but think about traffic and pets before choosing.
Yes, a little. Pigment needs roughly a day to dry before the first clear layer goes on, so plan on one extra day in the schedule.
Not without sanding the existing finish off first. We check your floor at the estimate and explain honestly what is possible and what is not.
We take payment for sanding and staining in two parts: half as work begins, the rest after the final clear layer dries and you approve the color.
