What We Do for Stain & Finish

We take the guesswork out of choosing a floor color. Our process is highly interactive, ensuring you know exactly what your floors will look like before the final application begins. We use only professional-grade stains and topcoats for superior durability and beauty.

  • Color Consultation: We discuss your design goals and evaluate how natural and artificial light in your home will affect different stain colors.
  • On-Floor Sampling: We apply actual stain samples directly onto your sanded floor, allowing you to see the true color on your specific wood grain before committing.
  • Custom Color Blending: If a standard stain color isn't quite right, we can mix custom blends to achieve the exact tone you envision.
  • Water-Popping Techniques: For deeper, richer colors, we can utilize water-popping to open the wood grain and allow it to absorb more stain evenly.
  • High-Durability Topcoats: We apply multiple coats of premium finish—offering choices from ultra-matte to high-gloss in water-based, oil-based, or hardwax oil formulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What stain color should I choose for my hardwood floors?

The best stain color depends on the wood species, natural undertones, lighting, wall colors, furniture, and the style of the home. Natural tones create warmth, medium browns are timeless, and darker stains can create a more dramatic look but may show dust and scratches more easily.
