Samples on Your Own Wood
Three or four candidate shades get brushed side by side onto bare wood in the actual room, so you judge each stain color by your own windows before anything is committed.

Color exaggerates any sanding swirl, so our final pass is a fine grit screen, and the room gets vacuumed twice before a drop of stain comes out.
Stain is spread by pad a few planks wide at a time and ragged off right behind, so tone stays steady from the hearth over to the window wall without dark patches.
An NWFA trained crew that carries its own license and insurance does the staining, never a subcontractor, and the workmanship is covered a full year.



Staining is $2.00/Sq Ft. It happens right after sanding, and sanding plus refinishing costs $2.50/Sq Ft on its own. We measure and price the whole job during the free estimate.
Red oak has pink tones that can fight cool grays. We test on your actual floor, sometimes toning first, so you see the true result before we commit the room.
Usually three or four, side by side on a sanded patch. If none are quite right, we blend two cans and try again until you're happy with it.
Very dark floors do show dust and light pet hair sooner than mid tones. We'll be honest about that so you can pick a shade that fits how you live.
Yes. The treads get the identical color as the hallway, applied by hand and then sealed, so stairs and upstairs hall look like one continuous floor.
Stain needs to dry before the clear finish goes over it, and then the finish has to cure. We lay out the schedule room by room so you know when each one opens up.
Since staining goes with sanding, it's split in two: half on the first day, half after the final clear layer dries. No money up front before we begin.
For one year on labor. If the color comes out blotchy or the finish fails because of our work, a crew member comes back and redoes the area.
