# Hardwood colour matching in Toronto

Ecowoods Hardwood Flooring Inc. is a hardwood flooring contractor in Toronto & the GTA, established 2000. It installs, sands, refinishes and restores solid and engineered hardwood floors and stairs, with salaried crews.

Matching a stain, a patch of new hardwood, or a stair and railing to an existing floor — the process, what is checked on site before any colour is mixed, and what gets said honestly when a match cannot be made to disappear.

## FAQ

### How long will my project take?

A standard 1,000–1,500 sq ft installation takes 5 to 7 working days: moisture testing and acclimation, installation, then sanding, staining and finishing. Refinishing is typically 3–5 days. Your written estimate includes a committed schedule.

### How do you match new hardwood to old floors seamlessly?

By matching species, width and grain direction first, then trialling stain on site on the actual old boards — never from a single can chosen off a sample. Where boards have to be replaced, repairs are feathered into the surrounding run rather than butted in a straight line. A full sand alone will not hide a species or width mismatch, which is why matching is decided before any machine is switched on.

### Is white oak better than red oak for a Toronto home?

White oak is more tannin-stable under water-based finishes, takes grey and modern stains more evenly, and is the default for contemporary renovations. Red oak is the heritage Canadian floor with a more open grain. Neither is universally better — substrate, stain target, and traffic decide. See the white-oak guide and the species comparison article for the decision tree.
