/ Floor Staining IN STERLING
Wood Floor Staining Options
Oak in Sterling Hill farmhouses, strip floors in Oneco mill homes and boards along Plainfield Pike can all take a new color. Taped samples come first, then our Sterling hardwood floor staining crew does the rooms.
Floor Staining
Down to bare oak the old finish goes, fine screens smooth what is left and the vacuum runs twice. Color is then rubbed in by hand and the extra wiped before it sets.

Fine Grit Sanding First
Sanding scratches show as dark streaks once stained, so fine screens and two vacuum passes come before any color.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
Color is wiped over a small patch and the excess lifted before the next one starts, so lap lines never show in the seams.

/ LOCAL STAINING CREW
Floor Staining Throughout Sterling
We stain floors in Sterling Hill farmhouses, Oneco mill homes and ranches along Plainfield Pike. Plenty of that oak has gone orange with age, so it is taken to clean wood, samples are taped in view and the color is sealed when dry.
/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST
Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Walnut and natural oak are favorites around Sterling. Pick any shade and we tape down a sample of it on your boards.
Natural Look, No Stain
An Oneco house keeps its oak light, with only a clear finish over the wood.
Gray and Driftwood Tones
Pale gray works in a remodeled Sterling kitchen with white shaker doors.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
Espresso grounds a Sterling Hill colonial and makes bright trim stand out.
Custom Color Mixing
One Sterling family mixed two cans and landed between honey and walnut.
Red Oak Toning
Red oak near Plainfield Pike gets a toner, and the pink cast turns warm brown.
Color Change on Old Floors
Orange floors in older Oneco homes are sanded off and turned deep brown.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does staining cost in Sterling?
Staining runs $2.00/Sq Ft and includes samples on your own boards, hand applied color and a clear protective top coat. If the job needs the full sand and three poly coats, that is refinishing at $2.50/Sq Ft.
Can orange oak turn brown?
Yes. With the old finish sanded off, fresh oak takes brown, walnut or espresso cleanly.
Which colors do Sterling owners pick?
Walnut and natural oak lead, with honey brown and soft gray close behind.
Do you stain steep stairs?
Yes. Hand scrapers and edgers reach where the machine cannot, and the color matches the floors above and below.
How long should stain dry?
Overnight for most stains. The surface gets tested before the clear coat goes on.
Should we stay home during the work?
Many families do, though some prefer to be out for the sanding and the first night.
How is staining paid for?
Sanding jobs are billed in two halves, the first at the start and the second after the last coat. Other labor is paid on the crew's arrival.
Who does the staining?
Our own NWFA certified payroll crew, with twelve months of labor warranty.

Sample visits also reach Plainfield, Killingly, Voluntown, Griswold and Canterbury, often the next day.
Plainfield owners tape off a few sample colors and compare them first.
Killingly mill houses often pick honey brown, rubbed by hand into fresh oak.
Voluntown cabins lean toward medium brown, which suits rustic trim.
Griswold ranches choose soft gray, which keeps open rooms calm.
Canterbury farmhouses get a blend mixed on site, tying an addition to the old oak.
