obviously floors were sanded first and I was hoping you had a video for that. Floors look great and this and your other videos showed me what I need to do to refinish my floors.
so Glad to see this!...this is how i did mine..& everybody said i was nuts..but they admitted it looked fantastic when done...lol..took months to get my knees back to normal though...but..i don't care...my floors make me smile :) ...i used medium shade stain, antique oak, on these very old antique oak floors...when doing them again..i think i will use dark, like yours...that is just looking..stunning old world..
Same here.Had the older gold red hardwood skinny slat floor.Used Minwax Special Walnut 224 and it looked BOSS! Updated, covered a few stains,overall shiny results.
@@monickalynn4365 OMG..Thank You!..i will find this & redo the floors soon as April & all it's rain is over..nothing dries when the air itself is always wet
I have a question. After applying stain for how long u have to wait till its ready to decorate and walk on it.? Thats one and secondly. How do you generally clean stained floor? With Floor cleaner or just wet rag or what? Thanks😊
I hired a person to stain wood floors with Varathane Dark Walnut stain(Home Depot). That person applied the stain but did not wipe the excess stain. Now it is more than 2 weeks and floor is still sticky. The floor color is not even. There are visible patches. I am wondering how to fix this?
@@BeardedBart Hey, hey, I don't think it was Richard who destroyed the trim, I think it was his dunk brother and Richard had to step in to get it right.
Hi. Is this laminate flooring which is been stained like this? Because if so I was given to understand that it needed to be keyed/scuffed first for the stain to be able to penetrate that glossy top.
using the same technic but we are 2 one that stain and one that remove the excess ! Best way to stain .. i tryied with polisher but it aint going well .
I'm pretty sure you can't stain laminate flooring you have to rip it out and stain the real wood underneath or just put in New laminate flooring the color you want
6:13 obviously the other rooms were stained with the buffing machine or bad edge stain skills it seems the buffer was used. thinner can take the stains later or paint.
So many techniques on how to apply stain!!! i like how u use tht broom effect to apply the stain...But wow to rag off thts just a mission LOL!!! Then when the camera guy panned around the house and saw all the skirting boards covered in stain!!!!! Ummmm??? 15yrs experience alright wow! Nice video tho mate!
Josh White Hmm... This is some kind of joke? cuz i don't get it... coment "paint shop" is for carlos rojas. I'm carpenter and only paint that i can't find is UV curable, we don't have inporter in Serbia...
Great job. Richard’s a real pro and hoping people pay him more for his quick and experienced high quality hand.
obviously floors were sanded first and I was hoping you had a video for that. Floors look great and this and your other videos showed me what I need to do to refinish my floors.
This guy is a pro. Great job.
This work is incredibly hard and this guy makes it look easy. A true pro.
Love how Richard is humble
Great video. Some people are saying the guy's accent is russian but I can assure you that is 100% brazilian accent.
Yep, he does sound like Portuguese is his first language. 👍

Do you HAVE to sand the floors before you stain them???

@@reeree0966 yes ma’am. Especially if there is a shine/sheen, the stain needs something to adhere to. Do a patch test and you’ll see.
Did he sand the floor first or can you stain overtop of the laminated wood?
look at this guy, look at how he does. looks good man good job
Like the floor after,and the accents!
OMG! I loved this video. He's awesome at what he does.
A true craftsman. Very nice work!!!
Absolutely beautiful. You’re very talented.
Love the video! Exactly what I’m doing this morning. Thumbs up!
Good choice in color dye. I'd hire him for sure !
I’m afraid for [staining of] those gorgeous baseboards.
just mask them off
@@davidgoodell6387 what does that mean
@@zoulzopan it means use painters tape over the bottom of the baseboard
Richard isn't afraid to get stain all them baseboards.
Oak is beautiful.. absolutely no need to stain in the first place.. min wax is the worst stain on the market.
Great job, I wish I saw this video Friday before I dud my floors. I have streaks on the floor. No, this is an excellent job. job
I love how light those floors were already
What is the name of what he using. Dark oak. I need his advice . My floors are old . He doing an excellent job. Love it. What rags he use.
That honestly looks really fun - physically exhausting but fun
Great instructional video. I would just add vinyl gloves and shoe covers, knee pads, and a mask.
And preparation of the adjacent areas, application on the same direction, etc, etc...
After you stain... do you put sanding sealer on and then polyurethane?
Well, nice job. How many coats? Was there a finish sealer? To be continued,.....
Once you get all of the buffing done it is easy. The prep work is hard
Hi can I have a contact information for this guy. I need my floors done please . Amazing !
Imagine how fast this guy would be if he realized he was allowed to move the bucket.
Hi your floor looks amazing I would just like to know if this was laminated wood flooring
It not. it’s red oak hard wood
Have you sand it before applying wood dye
Hi! What do he use to apply the color?
Looks amazing. What kind of applicator did you use on the end of the pole?
Is it laminate floor? Do you sand it before?
I painted a portion of my hardwood floor, but it's too dark than the existing one. How do I lighten the color to match with the rest floor?? Thanks
I have a question. After applying stain for how long u have to wait till its ready to decorate and walk on it.? Thats one and secondly. How do you generally clean stained floor? With Floor cleaner or just wet rag or what? Thanks😊
Give the stain 12 hours to dry. Put 2-3 coats of polyurethane over it.. dark stain is difficult to work with.. tends to look blotchy in natural light.
Is that laminate flooring?
great job but i see some of it on the skirting , how do you take that off? paint over it?
Respect for you staining alone is hard..good job...
For finish... What are you going to apply 3 coats of???? I heard water based poly... what brand?????
So after the stain he doesn’t need to add nothing else ? Other channels specifically say to ad the shine.
I need me some towers 😂😂
Great video I love the color!
Where does guy work now
The best by far.
how is he keeping the stain from getting on the baseboard when he applies it ...
They mentioned in the video they are putting in shoe molding
Can you do this if you have vinyl flooring as well please?
I like the natural wood look as well as the dark stain
I hired a person to stain wood floors with Varathane Dark Walnut stain(Home Depot). That person applied the stain but did not wipe the excess stain. Now it is more than 2 weeks and floor is still sticky. The floor color is not even. There are visible patches. I am wondering how to fix this?
Start over.
@@mikemcgrath6150
Update.
Floor redone. Removed the entire sticky surface and sand it to bare wood. Then applied the stain again. It looks great.
@@BlackSmith222 good. I've been a wood floor contractor for 20 years.
Richard rocked those floors!! those knees tho! lol
You did an amazing job
What type of Poly did you use on this dark color???
can we change from walnut color to red oak?
you have a gift. great job!
Beautiful work!! 😍😍
Awesome work!
Is this only for real wood flooring or can it be applied to vinyl flooring?
Will this work on laminate “wood” flooring?
No
Was the old flooring laminate or real oak wood flooring?
Looks great! No need to tape the molding? He must be that good, huh.
Did you see the other rooms? He fricking destroyed the trim.
B-Doug46 Yes, my sarcasm was not as on-point in this comment.
The homeowners will not be as happy about the floors as the cameraman. lol
@@BeardedBart Hey, hey, I don't think it was Richard who destroyed the trim, I think it was his dunk brother and Richard had to step in to get it right.
Amazing work!!!
did you have to sand those floors first? and which minwax stain type did you use?
yes hun you always have to sand floor..to get all the imperfections out .. figured id answer your ?
Can you stain over top of a varnushed floor?
He said it was 3 days of prep in the video
what's the best way to get an even water pop on the floor? I'll be refinishing 1200 ft of red oak in a couple of weeks
bucket and rag will work fine. dont leave puddles
Thanks, found an awesome website called uptownfloors. amazing videos and even one on water popping.
KoolKatJazz what's water popping??
Do you need to bleach the wooden floor before painting
Is it hard wood flooring or laminate?
Great job ya'll!! Beautiful!
Why didn't you tape the baseboard?
Looks beautiful but the mess on the skirting doesn’t. Why not tape them? 🤦🏻♀️
can I sand the finish off laminate wood floors? and then stain? and seal?
No
my floor has lots of dirt stains i dont know from where....if my floor is that clean i would just apply the final coat
Did he condition previously?
Hi. Is this laminate flooring which is been stained like this? Because if so I was given to understand that it needed to be keyed/scuffed first for the stain to be able to penetrate that glossy top.
????? I'm so confused
Take care of your knees buddy! Use globes use mask,safety first
No kidding! You're going to kill your brain cells
What brand of stain was used?
What did you do about the excess stain on your skirting boards. Does it clean off the paint?
He said he was putting shoe molding. so he wasn't worried about getting it on the baseboards.
What is he useing? A sponge or a brush?
He didnt use tape to protect the skirting. The other room is messy, big cleaning up
What type of brushes is he using
Richard is definitely getting stain on the trim...
No tape to protect.. no knee pads? No face protection? No wonder man die before woman.. beast..
@@cucharlie2006 Stain fumes are terrible. Definitely needs a respirator. Knee pads are optional.
hey can i hire you?
10:15 good Job getting it all over the baseboard
Also look close on the baseboard at 4:20 This guy is sloppy as fuck
using the same technic but we are 2 one that stain and one that remove the excess ! Best way to stain .. i tryied with polisher but it aint going well .
Thanks. This is how the pros do it.
In Russia, floors stain you. Just kidding. Great job
I LOVE those jokes thank you😂
I got the Simpsons reference
that guy does it like I did in the late 80s
buffing it on is the only way
what brush is he using or is it a sponge?
its a lambswool applicator
also a good quality stain brush
which color did u use ?
My next house is in "Under contract" flag mode and when I close on the deal this flooring thing is the first thing I will do.
Howd it turn out?
He done good but when you varnish its always good to go with the grain
Badasss going to do my floor probably not that good but gonna give it a try loool
Hard worker 👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾
Was this done on laminate floor or engineered oak? I want to stain my floor but they're laminate
I'm pretty sure you can't stain laminate flooring you have to rip it out and stain the real wood underneath or just put in New laminate flooring the color you want
How do you clean all the stain off the beautiful white baseboard?
There is going to be shoe modeling to cover it up.
Shoe modeling sounds sexy. :)
After you put a coat of poly down, you can use a rag with paint thinner to clean it.
Which might make the white come off too if it's not water based..
If they are fresh and not getting painted run masking tape around the bottom give it a nice clean line
Love it. I'm going to use his technique when I do mine.
6:13 obviously the other rooms were stained with the buffing machine or bad edge stain skills it seems the buffer was used. thinner can take the stains later or paint.
Fernandinho tocando no background. Bom trabalho
how much do u charge per sq ft
Very good job

Why not tape all white molding that stain hard get off of white..
the wall lists looks new, should tape it, to much splash on the lists
