Light-to-Dark Stain Options for Every Style
Hardwood floor staining is more than simply changing color—it’s about enhancing the character of the wood while matching your home’s overall design. We offer a full range of stain options, from light natural finishes that highlight wood grain to darker tones that create bold contrast and warmth.
Whether your flooring is red oak, white oak, maple, pine, or exotic hardwood, we carefully evaluate the wood species to determine how it will absorb stain. Different woods react differently to color, and our experience ensures even, consistent results without blotching or uneven shading.
Our goal is to provide a finish that complements your cabinetry, furniture, and interior décor while maintaining the natural beauty of the hardwood.
Professional Sanding for a Smooth Foundation
Before staining begins, proper sanding is essential. We sanded the hardwood surface down to its natural wood layer, removing old finishes, scratches, and imperfections. This creates a clean, even base that allows stain to penetrate evenly and produce a uniform appearance.
Using professional equipment such as Clarke American Sanders™ and high-quality abrasives from Norton™ and 3M®, we ensure that the surface preparation is thorough and precise. A properly sanded floor makes a noticeable difference in the final stain result.
Expert Color Matching and Custom Finishes
In many cases, homeowners need to match new hardwood flooring to existing floors in other rooms. Our professional color-matching services allow us to create seamless transitions between spaces.
We work with trusted products such as Minwax™, Bona™, Absco™, and other professional-grade stains and finishes to deliver consistent color and durability. From subtle tone adjustments to full color changes, we customize the staining process to meet your specific goals.
If you are refinishing your floors, staining provides an opportunity to refresh the entire space without replacing the wood. A new color can modernize your home and dramatically update its appearance.
Durable Protective Finishes for Long-Term Performance
After the stain is applied and properly set, we complete the process with multiple layers of high-quality urethane finish. These protective coatings help safeguard your floors against scratches, daily wear, and moisture exposure.
The finish not only protects but also enhances the richness of the stain color, adding depth and clarity to the wood grain. Each layer is applied with precision to ensure smooth coverage and long-lasting durability.
Our finishing system is designed to extend the life of your hardwood floors while maintaining their beauty for years to come.
