Enhancing Hardwood Floors with Custom Stains
Hardwood floor staining allows Boston homeowners and business owners to transform the look of their flooring without replacing it. At Tom Tran Hardwood Floor, we specialize in custom staining services that bring out the natural beauty of wood while providing a color tone that fits your space. Whether you want to deepen the warmth of oak, create a lighter, modern finish, or match a historic style, our team delivers precise, even results with durable finishes.
Custom Color Options for Every Interior
Staining is one of the most versatile ways to change the appearance of hardwood floors. Clients across Boston choose custom stain colors to complement everything from modern interiors to classic brownstone designs. Our experts provide guidance on popular shades, from rich espresso tones to bright, airy neutrals. By testing sample stains directly on your sanded floor, we ensure the chosen color blends seamlessly with your décor and lighting.
Light Stains
Lighter stains highlight the natural grain of the wood and create an open, spacious feel. They are ideal for contemporary homes and spaces where natural light is a design feature.
Medium Stains
Warm honey, chestnut, or golden tones are timeless choices that work well in traditional Boston homes, adding depth and character without overwhelming the space.
Dark Stains
Deep, dramatic shades such as ebony or dark walnut add elegance and sophistication. These stains are popular in historic renovations and modern urban interiors alike.
Water-Based and Oil-Based Polyurethane Finishes
After staining, hardwood floors must be sealed with protective coatings. We offer both water-based and oil-based polyurethane finishes, each with unique advantages depending on style, durability needs, and environmental preferences.
Water-Based Polyurethane
Water-based poly dries quickly, produces minimal odor, and provides a clear finish that won’t yellow over time. It’s an excellent choice for eco-conscious Boston clients and those who prefer a modern, low-maintenance look.
Oil-Based Polyurethane
Oil-based poly enhances wood with a warm, amber tone and offers outstanding durability. Though it requires more drying time, this option is highly resistant to wear, making it ideal for high-traffic areas in both homes and commercial properties.
The Staining Process from Start to Finish
At Tom Tran Hardwood Floor, staining is carried out with careful preparation and attention to detail. The process begins with sanding the hardwood surface to remove old finishes and open the grain. Stains are then applied evenly to ensure smooth coverage and consistent color. Finally, multiple coats of polyurethane are layered to protect the floor and bring out the richness of the chosen shade. Our dustless sanding systems and precision application techniques make the process efficient, clean, and long-lasting.
Residential and Commercial Staining Services
From condos along the Boston Seaport to historic brownstones in Back Bay, hardwood floor staining adds value and charm to properties of all types. Residential clients often choose staining as part of a refinishing project, while commercial property owners rely on staining to refresh floors that see heavy daily use. Our services adapt to any project size, ensuring that each floor reflects the desired style while standing up to the demands of Boston living.
