Identify species and areas with previous repairs.
Approve a sample on the actual floor under different light conditions.
Review the rooms and the preparation required for a color change.
Confirm the selected stain and compatible finish in the work scope.



A conventional stain color change generally needs preparation that exposes suitable wood. The existing finish and proposed system determine the work required.
Wood species, prior repairs and sanding affect absorption. An actual-floor sample is more informative than a color name or screen image.
No. Replacement boards and existing wood can absorb stain differently. Samples help set expectations before the full application.
The measured area, existing conditions, selected materials and preparation all affect the scope. Request an itemized estimate after the assessment.
Ask Brazil Floors to confirm appointment availability for your Scarsdale address and describe the rooms or staircase you want assessed.
Timing depends on the work and products used. Confirm access restrictions and any drying or curing requirements before scheduling.
