Service 06 — Custom Stains
Bespoke color matching for new or existing hardwood. We'll match your existing floors or create something entirely unique — from whitewashed coastal tones to deep espresso.
Why Custom Stains
Factory stains limit you to what's on the shelf. Custom stains give you a floor that's truly yours — whether you're blending new wood into an existing room or dreaming up a one-of-a-kind finish.
We mix, test, and adjust stains on your actual wood until we nail the exact color you're after. From sun-washed coastal whites to rich, dark espresso — the palette is endless.
What's Included
We'll match your existing floors, a paint chip, a photo, or even a piece of furniture.
We test colors on your actual wood before committing — no guessing, no surprises.
Custom-mixed colors from whitewash to espresso. If you can dream it, we can blend it.

Adding a room to existing hardwood? We'll match the new wood to the old perfectly.
Every custom stain is sealed with commercial-grade finish for long-lasting beauty.
Our Process
We look at your space, your inspiration, and your existing wood. We discuss undertones, finishes, and the look you're after.
We create multiple stain samples on your actual wood species — testing how the color reacts to the grain.
We refine the color with you until it's exactly right. Sample boards stay in your home so you can see them in your light.
Your custom color is applied evenly, then sealed with durable, commercial-grade finish.

Before You Stain
The same stain looks different on oak, hickory, walnut, and maple. That's why on-site testing is essential.
Stain is translucent — it tints the wood without hiding the grain. If you want to hide grain, paint is the alternative.
Your floors will look different in morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamplight. We'll help you choose a color that works in all.
Existing floors must be properly sanded and prepared before staining for an even, professional result.
FAQ

Sampling takes 1–2 days. The staining and finishing process itself typically takes 3–5 days depending on the project size.
