Samples on Your Own Wood

Every sample is framed with blue tape on sanded oak, so you can compare shades side by side, by the window and in shadow.

Fine Grit Sanding First

Sanding scratches turn into dark streaks under stain, so a buffer with fine screens follows and the vacuum cleans up.

No Blotches or Lap Marks

Stain goes onto one small section at a time and the excess is wiped before the next begins, so no overlap lines show.

One Year Staining Warranty

The staining crew works on the Brazil Floors payroll, trained to NWFA standards and insured, with labor warrantied for twelve months.

/ LOCAL STAINING CREW

Floor Staining Throughout West Haven

We stain floors in Savin Rock cottages, West Shore Capes, Jones Hill Road colonials and the triple deckers around the Green. Many floors have yellowed with age, so we sand to clean oak, tape off samples in your rooms and seal when dry.

What does staining cost in West Haven?

Staining runs $2.00/Sq Ft in West Haven, covering stain samples on your own floor, hand applied color and a clear protective top coat. Taking the floor through sanding, stain and three coats of poly is the separate $2.50/Sq Ft refinishing service.

Can an orange floor be changed to brown?

Yes. Once sanding takes off the old finish, the bare oak takes brown or mahogany without the orange showing through.

Which colors are popular in West Haven?

Dark walnut and natural oak lead, with gray and custom blends gaining ground.

Can the stairs match the floor?

Yes, treads are sanded and stained to match. Stair refinishing is $50 per step.

How long before the clear coat?

Stain dries overnight in most weather. We check the surface by touch before sealing.

Do we need to leave while it cures?

Many families stay, but the odor makes a night away more pleasant.

How fast can you schedule?

Samples usually happen the day after you call, and the same crew sands, stains and seals. Labor is paid when the crew starts.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, the labor is warrantied for twelve months and the finish maker covers the product.
