Floor Staining

Want darker floors? Lighter floors? A modern grey-wash look? You don't have to rip up perfectly good hardwood to change its color. We sand existing floors down to bare wood, apply the stain color of your choice, and seal with durable polyurethane for a completely new look.

We carry every major stain manufacturer (Bona, DuraSeal, Minwax, Rubio Monocoat) and can match custom blends. Bring us a color swatch or inspiration photo, and we'll apply sample stains on your actual floor before committing — so the final result is exactly what you pictured.

  • Custom and manufacturer-matched stain colors
  • Grey-wash, whitewash, and reactive stains
  • Bona, DuraSeal, Minwax, Rubio Monocoat
  • On-floor stain sampling before full apply
  • Water-based and oil-based polyurethane
  • Typical project: 3–5 days

What every DFW homeowner should know

Texas weather and soil conditions shape every flooring decision. Here's what we adjust for on every Floor Staining install in this market:

Texas heat & humidity swings

DFW summers hit 100°F+ with 60–80% humidity, then drop to 30% indoors during dry winters. We choose products and adhesives rated for the full DFW temperature range so the install holds up year after year.

Expansive clay soil + foundation movement

North Texas sits on expansive clay that swells in rainy seasons and shrinks in droughts. Foundations shift slightly — we use crack-isolation membranes and flexible underlayments where slabs show stress, so your floor doesn't telegraph foundation movement.

Materials & brands we install

We've installed every major Floor Staining brand on the market. The names below are what we recommend most often for DFW homes — for value, durability, and warranty support:

Mohawk
Bruce Hardwood
