Species we install

Pick the wood
before you pick the stain.

Each species takes stain differently — same color on red oak vs. walnut will read completely different. These are the four we install most across Connecticut homes.

Red Oak
1290 lbf
The American classic.
Pinkish-brown with bold, open grain. Takes stain beautifully — most of our refinishing jobs are red oak, and most stain swatches you see online are tested on it.
Janka hardness
White Oak
1360 lbf
Cooler, tighter, premium.
Slightly harder than red oak with a tighter, more uniform grain and a cooler brown tone. The go-to for wide-plank installs and modern designer stains (gray, weathered, smoked).
Janka hardness
Maple
1450 lbf
Blonde, tight grain, very hard.
Cream-blonde with subtle, almost invisible grain — gives a clean, modern look. Hard enough for high-traffic homes, though it can be tricky to stain evenly.
Janka hardness
Walnut
1010 lbf
Premium, deep chocolate.
Rich chocolate-brown with dramatic, swirling grain — no stain needed. Softer than oak, so we recommend it for living rooms, bedrooms, and offices over kitchens.
Janka hardness

EPOXY FLOORS

Professional Epoxy Flooring Services

Installation · Coating · Refinishing

Quality craftsmanship for
durable, high-performance epoxy floors.

Built in layers

Warehouse-grade epoxy,
engineered floor-up.

We build every epoxy floor as a system, not a single coat. Each layer plays a role — sealing the slab, locking moisture out, taking the abuse, looking sharp. Pick the system that fits the room, the traffic, and the look you want.

Single Coat

Light residential — clean garages, basements, utility rooms.

Top Coat
Pigmented urethane, scuff and chemical resistant.
Base Coat
Two-part epoxy that bonds to the slab.
Vapor Barrier
Stops moisture from rising up through the slab.

Double Coat

Moderate commercial — workshops, retail back-of-house, light warehouses.

Top Coat
High-build urethane finish, mar and chemical resistant.
Body Coat
Pigmented epoxy build-coat for thickness and uniformity.
Base Coat
Penetrating primer that locks to the slab.
Vapor Barrier
Stops moisture from rising up through the slab.

Quartz Aggregate

Heavy industrial — non-slip warehouses, food prep, mechanic shops.

Top Coat
Clear urethane sealer, locks the aggregate in.
Body Coat
Pigmented build-coat that anchors the quartz.
Silica Quartz
Broadcast aggregate gives the floor its grip and depth.
Base Coat
Two-part epoxy primer.
Vapor Barrier
Stops moisture from rising up through the slab.

Decorative Flake

Premium garage — designer color flakes, glossy showroom finish.

Top Coat
Clear high-gloss urethane, brings out the flake color.
Flake Broadcast
Polymer color chips you pick from the swatch.
Body Coat
Pigmented epoxy that grips the flake.
Base Coat
Primer that bonds to the slab.
Vapor Barrier
Stops moisture from rising up through the slab.

Built for any space

Two worlds.
One epoxy system.

Whether it's a 50,000 sq ft warehouse or a high-end dealership floor your customers stand on, the same crew and the same materials engineer the surface from the slab up.

Warehouses

Industrial warehouses live and die by floor toughness. Forklifts, pallet jacks, dropped tools, oil spills, daily sweeping — your floor takes a beating. Our epoxy systems shrug it off and clean up with a mop. Same surface, year after year.
