Yes! We can custom-blend stains to match your existing floors or bring a sample, and we'll create a perfect match for seamless room-to-room consistency.
Most hardwoods including oak, maple, cherry, and walnut can be stained. Dense woods like maple require special techniques for even stain absorption, which our Montreal experts handle expertly.
The questions prospects ask most about this service — answered honestly by a contractor who does this every week.
Possible but risk-heavy: stain on sanded wood is unforgiving. One over-saturated brush stroke leaves a permanent mark — fixing it means re-sanding the whole floor and starting over (1 mm of wood gone out of the 6 mm available). Wood absorbs unevenly across the grain; a pre-stain conditioner is required and most DIYers skip it. And the colour you see in the can is not the final colour — every species (oak, maple, birch) reacts differently. JA Planchers applies two free test patches on-site before staining the floor.
Off-the-shelf stains (Minwax, Varathane) are standard colours designed for raw new wood. On aged red oak they pull pink; on maple they can turn muddy grey. A custom blend adjusts the base formula with corrective pigments (often 2-3% black pigment to neutralize pink) — the result matches the room's design palette exactly. JA Planchers mixes Bona and Rubio on site, adjusted to each room's lighting.
A colour change requires a full sand to bare wood — not a screen-and-recoat. The wood is then conditioned, stained, and finished with a compatible topcoat (oil-based poly over oil stain, water-based over water; mixing the two causes peel-up within 12 months). JA Planchers regularly refinishes Montréal floors moving from natural red oak to medium walnut or driftwood grey.
Because the same Bona Driftwood stain looks warm-golden in a south-facing living room, grey-green in a north-facing condo, and pink-toned under 2700K LEDs. We apply two 1 ft × 1 ft test patches in opposite corners and leave 48 hours to decide — you see the colour at three times of day before committing to the whole floor.
