In this home in Canton MI the homeowner wanted to replace an existing floor with hardwood and wanted all of the hardwood floors to then match. There are nuances that you need to be aware of when doing this. New hardwood flooring is "new". It hasn't been exposed to the atmosphere and sunlight for years as the existing wood flooring has been. As existing hardwood flooring ages it starts to yellow and gains a patina that the new hardwood flooring does not have. So even though the best practice for this procedure is to sand everything down and stain to match, there still might be a slight shade variance between the new and old hardwood flooring. This can be minimized by the darkness of the stain color chosen. This should not be a deal killer but the homeowner needs to be aware so expectations are managed.
This home in Canton had the hardwood flooring stained with provincial stain and three coats of a high quality oil based urethane finish.
