HARDWOOD FLOOR SERVICE
Color & Finish Matching
We mix and test stain samples so you can choose the color and sheen in your own rooms.
IS THIS THE RIGHT SERVICE?
Start with what you’re seeing.
We compare your wood species and the existing coating before mixing stains. For an addition or repair, we check the transition between old and new boards. You review the samples and agree on the color and sheen before application.
