Wood Floor Restoration: Natural Stain

Mar 7, 2018

The Current Trend for Wood Floor Restoration: Natural Stain!

There are a variety of ways to do wood floor restoration well! Despite the methods available. Natural, no color stain finishing is really popular right now. We find that natural wood stain is one of the best approaches to quality wood floor restoration. Here is how we do it!

How to Get Natural Stain Floor Restoration Correct

Wood floor restoration can go bad quickly. Our team has been called on many occasions to help pick up a floor restoration job where someone else left off. We found rather quickly that the previous people were either unskilled at wood floor restoration or inexperienced and made simple mistakes.

At Floor Restore and More, we bring different tools to help ensure that your wood floors look amazing with natural wood stain restoration.

We can determine exactly which type of wood the customer’s floors are through specialized testing. In the following before and after photos, we found that the client had Heart Pine wood floors. To create the best possible experience for our client we offered a wide variety of stain options and used a dustless system which helped with very little mess to clean up afterwards.

This older floor had polyurethane sealer which tends to yellow over time. We can offer polyurethane for a traditional look, or we can use new water-based sealer which is what is used on the new floor.

The new stain and water-based sealer really did make it look like a completely new floor!
