Q: I’m trying to make my Jatoba wood on my downstairs dark brown with no red! I cannot find a contractor to do this! They say it’s not possible.
A: Those who say it is not possible need to explain how Jatoba can be
bought in prefinished, stained darker colours.
Webmaster’s note: Stairs? It can be hard to find contractors to do any small jobs let alone stairs. Especially in the big city. I’m thinking.. try some handymen, go outside the flooring contractors and see if anyone will respond without some excuse.
