Part of the Process

Hardwood Floor Staining & Refinishing

Staining is commonly part of the hardwood floor refinishing process. Together, the steps work like this: sanding removes the existing finish and prepares the wood, staining changes or enhances the color, and finishing protects the newly refinished surface. This combination lets you refresh both the look and the protection of your hardwood in a single project.

Staining FAQs

Hardwood Floor Staining FAQs

What does floor staining change?

Stain changes the color and tone of compatible hardwood before the protective finish is applied. It doesn't replace the finish — the finish seals and protects the stained wood.

How do I choose a stain color?

Room lighting, wall and cabinet colors, wood species, your preferred style, and how light or dark tones affect the space all influence the final look. Seeing stain options against the actual wood can help you evaluate color before making a final decision.

Dark or light stain — which is right?

Dark tones can create a richer, more dramatic appearance, while lighter or natural tones can make a room feel brighter and more open. Both have trade-offs, so the best choice depends on the look you want and how the room is used.

Does every hardwood species stain the same?

No. Wood species and the existing floor's characteristics affect how stain is absorbed and how the final color appears, so the same stain can look different on different woods.

Is staining part of refinishing?

Yes — staining is often selected as part of a refinishing project when you want to change or refresh the floor's color, applied after sanding and before the protective finish.
