My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    It was been a few years since this project so my apologies but I can't remember the percentage of ebony/gray. The combo you describe above is heavy on the ebony. I would recommend doing 1/4 ebony and 3/4 gray. But please have your contractor do test samples in-field. That is a must. So you can approve before he does the whole floor!

      Greetings. The stain is a mix of "Classic Grey" and "Ebony" from Minwax. The finish on the floors is "Satin".

      What are the proportions of ebony and gray stains in the custom color? I have even planning to use a higher gloss finish because I am afraid that the gray color may tend to look drab. We have just stained my newly laid white oak kitchen floors for what is to be my new gray and white kitchen with a 1/3 gray 2/3 ebony combo and it is pretty but not gray. Contractor is willing to correct, but I prefer not to sand new floor again. Please advise me so I can advise him. Thank you, thank you. LRCB

      Hi, are you sure its 25% ebony and 75% grey and not the other way around? did you use a dye first?
