/ Floor Staining IN WATERFORD
Wood Floor Staining Options
Oak in Great Neck ranches, strip floors in Quaker Hill colonials and boards in Mago Point cottages can all take a new color. Taped samples come first, then our Waterford hardwood floor staining crew does the rooms.
Floor Staining
The old finish comes off down to bare oak, a fine screen smooths it and the dust is vacuumed twice. Then the shade is worked in by hand and the surplus lifted.

Fine Grit Sanding First
Sanding marks turn into dark streaks under color, so we run fine screens and a second vacuum pass before any stain goes on.

No Blotches or Lap Marks
Stain is wiped over a small area and the excess pulled off before the next patch, so seams never show between sections.

/ LOCAL STAINING CREW
Floor Staining Throughout Waterford
We stain floors in Great Neck ranches, Quaker Hill colonials, Mago Point cottages and homes near Jordan Green. A lot of that oak has turned orange, so we take it to clean wood, tape samples in your rooms and seal once dry.
/ STAIN COLORS WE APPLY MOST
Hardwood Floor Staining Services
Dark walnut and natural oak are favorites around Waterford. Name a shade and we tape a sample of it on your boards.
Natural Look, No Stain
A Quaker Hill colonial keeps its oak light, with only a clear finish over the wood.
Gray and Driftwood Tones
Pale gray works in a remodeled Jordan Green kitchen with white cabinets.
Dark Walnut and Espresso
Espresso grounds a Great Neck ranch and makes bright white trim stand out.
Custom Color Mixing
One Waterford family mixed two cans and landed between honey and walnut.
Red Oak Toning
Red oak near Vauxhall Street gets a toner, and the pink cast turns warm brown.
Color Change on Old Floors
Orange floors in older Quaker Hill homes are sanded off and turned deep brown.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does staining cost in Waterford?
Staining is $2.00/Sq Ft and includes samples on your own boards, hand applied color and a clear protective top coat. When the job needs a full sand and three poly coats, it is refinishing at $2.50/Sq Ft.
Can orange oak be turned brown?
Yes. After the orange finish is sanded off, fresh oak accepts brown, walnut or espresso cleanly.
Which shades do Waterford owners pick?
Walnut and natural oak lead, with soft gray and honey brown close behind.
Do you stain split level stairs?
Yes. Hand scrapers and edgers reach where the machine cannot, and the color matches both floors.
How long should the stain dry?
Most stains dry overnight. The surface is checked before the clear coat goes on, so the color holds.
Should we stay home during staining?
Plenty of families stay, though some prefer to be out for the sanding and the first night.
How is payment handled?
A sanding job splits in two, half at the start and half after the last coat. Other labor is paid when the crew arrives.
Who does the staining?
Our own payroll crew, NWFA certified and insured, with a twelve month labor warranty.

New London owners tape off a few sample colors and compare them first.
Montville ranches often pick honey brown, rubbed by hand into fresh oak.
Salem farmhouses lean toward medium brown, which suits old trim.
East Lyme cottages choose soft gray, which keeps small rooms calm.
Groton capes get a blend mixed on site, tying an addition to the old oak.
