Water is one of hardwood flooring’s biggest enemies. Whether it’s a leaking dishwasher, burst pipe, or flooding basement—fast action can save your floors.

Here’s what to do immediately after water damage:

  1. Stop the water source
  2. Remove excess water with towels or a shop vac
  3. Use fans and a dehumidifier to dry the area
  4. Call a hardwood flooring specialist

Stain

  • Staining your floor adds color to your floor and will add additional time to your project, generally one day. There are extra steps associated with staining and we prefer to let the stain flash overnight before coating.
  • Matching an existing stain color is virtually impossible, however a close match is achievable. The reason for this is that stain and finish fade over time, clarity changes, and there are many different manufacturers on the market.
  • All wood does not stain the same. For example, if you have pine baseboards with a nutmeg stain and you request for us to use the nutmeg stain on your oak floors, keep in mind the stain will look completely different on the oak.
  • We are able to mix a custom stain to achieve your desired color. Our crew will sand a section of your floor and give you samples of colors that you are interested in and you can see how they will look on your floor.
  • Stain color must be selected first thing in the morning before the sanding starts. We will ask for a signature on our journeyman’s job report, acknowledging that you approve of the stain color.
