Samples on Your Own Wood
Three or four candidate tones dry next to one another on a sanded swath near your windows, so you judge them in morning glare and evening lamplight alike.

Pigment exaggerates swirl marks, so a fine screening pass, a hand scrape along walls and double vacuuming happen before any stain can is cracked open.
Pads lay pigment across a narrow band of rows while a second person wipes behind, which keeps the shade identical from foyer to far bedroom.
Our own staff, NWFA trained plus licensed and insured, handle every color project without subcontractors. Should our workmanship falter inside a year, a tech returns.



Color itself is $2.00/Sq Ft. Because pigment only bonds with bare wood, it is paired with a sanding and refinishing visit priced at $2.50/Sq Ft. The estimator measures rooms and confirms totals for free.
Species, grain cut and how finely the wood was sanded all change how pigment absorbs. That is why every swatch we show you goes onto your own freshly sanded oak.
Yes. White oak takes gray and greige tones cleanly. Red oak tends to push gray toward a muddy look, so we usually suggest a toner first on red oak.
Even sanding, careful screening and wiping excess quickly. We work in narrow sections with two people so the stain never sits too long in one area.
They can. We apply the same mix to treads and landings, working carefully around each nosing so the whole path from foyer to bedrooms matches.
Stain dries first, then clear protection is applied and needs time to cure. Light foot traffic in clean feet is fine after a day; furniture typically returns within a few days.
Usually. We mix samples beside the older floor until the tones line up, which helps when a new addition must flow into original rooms.
Sanding and staining jobs are split, half when the crew begins and half when the floor is done. We put all of it in writing beforehand.
