Staining Maple Wood Floor with a Dark Color

Hi, I am looking for contractor recommendations who have successfully applied dark stains on maple wood floors. Currently, I have a maple floor that is in its natural light color and I am considering changing it to a darker color (i.e. cherry). I have read that staining maple floors and successfully getting it to be a consistent dark color is quite a challenge even for professionals, since maple wood grains are very fine and inconsistent. But some contractors have been able to stain maple with dark colors with great results. If you have used a contractor that has successfully done this and can recommend him/her, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
