Stain colors
If you'd like to change the color of your floor with a pigmented stain, you'll need to pick a few colors for us to put down as samples. Take a look at some of the swatches below and let us know a few you'd like to see.
Note: We only use oil based penetrating stains . Please check the filter marked “Wood finish oil based penetrating stains“ when searching for a color.
When our team arrives, we'll sand a spot, put the colors down, and you'll have a day or so to consider which you'd like. We prefer to put samples directly on your floor and do not make up samples on separate boards. This is because, due to site conditions and lumber differences, a separate sample may look completely different than your actual floor. It's important to make your decision the day prior to staining so we can make sure to a have the color you've decided on.

Another consideration is your base trim. Please take a moment to read about issues related to trim.
