Staining Hardwood Floors in St Paul

A lot of people have asked me lately to stain their hardwood floors. Staining is a good option if you have a specific color in mind. Lately, some stain colors we have done have been; Dark Walnut, Sedona Red, Special Walnut, and Royal Mahogany. Most stains will darken the floor a lot, while adding character. I like staining red oak on St Paul hardwood floors because there are a lot of grains in the wood that are really brought to life if you put down the right stain. Also, staining is a good option if you have urine or water damage on your hardwood floors. Most the time you can’t get those spots out completely, but you can make them less conspicuous if you use the right stain. The downside to staining hardwood floors is it is more expensive. There is more sanding and labor involved and usually it takes an extra day to complete the project because you have to put the stain down, then the finish covers after. However, Duraseal and Bona, make quick dry stains that claim to dry in two hours. If your thinking about sanding or refinishing your hardwood floors in St Paul call a hardwood flooring professional and ask them about staining, you just might like it.
