Fine Grit Sanding First
Sanding scratches become dark streaks under color, so a buffer with fine screens follows and a vacuum takes care of the dust.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
Stain is wiped onto one manageable patch at a time and the excess lifted before the next, so no lap marks show.

Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Walnut brown and natural oak are favorites around town. Choose a color, and a taped square of it goes on your floor.
Natural Look, No Stain
A Borough house 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 Lords Point cottage with white shaker cabinets.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
Espresso grounds a Lower Pawcatuck colonial and sets off its white trim.
Custom Color Mixing
A family on Quaketaug Hill mixed two cans and landed between honey and walnut.
Red Oak Toning
Red oak near Cannon Square gets a toner, and its pink undertone settles into warm brown.
Color Change on Old Floors
Orange floors in older Mechanic Street houses are sanded off and turned deep chestnut.

Other Flooring Jobs Across Stonington
A darker or lighter shade starts with 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 Stonington?
Stonington staining is $2.00/Sq Ft and includes samples on your own floor, hand applied color and a clear protective top coat. For a full sanding with stain and three coats, the price is $2.50/Sq Ft.
Can orange oak go brown?
Yes. Bare oak under the old finish accepts brown, walnut or chestnut with no orange showing through.
Which shades do Stonington homeowners pick?
Walnut brown and natural oak lead, with espresso, light gray and custom blends close behind.
Can you stain stairs between two floors?
Yes. Edgers and hand scrapers get into corners a drum sander misses, and the color is balanced with the floors on both levels.
How long does stain take to dry?
Overnight is usually enough for stain to dry, and we touch test the surface before sealing so nothing lifts.
Should we leave the house during staining?
Most households stay put, although a few spend a night elsewhere while the finish cures and the smell fades.
How fast can you schedule the work?
Often the day after we measure, with one small crew handling every step from sanding to the final seal.
Is the staining guaranteed?
Yes. Our own NWFA trained staff stain your Stonington floor, and the labor is covered for twelve months.

Groton owners tape off sample colors on their own oak and compare them first.
North Stonington farmhouses often pick honey brown, rubbed into fresh oak by hand.
Ledyard colonials favor deep brown stains that flatter painted trim and old doors.
Preston homes get a blend mixed on site that ties an addition to old oak.
Griswold capes go from orange oak to a calm walnut brown after a full sanding.
