Restore the Beauty of Your Hardwood Floors

If the boards are solid, structurally sound, and thick enough to sand, refinishing is usually the better value and preserves the character of the original wood. Replacement makes more sense when the floor has deep damage, water rot, or has already been sanded so many times there is little wear layer left. We assess the floor first and give you an honest recommendation.

It depends on the thickness of the wear layer above the tongue and groove. Solid hardwood can typically be sanded and refinished several times over its life, while engineered wood has a thinner veneer that allows fewer refinishes. We measure and inspect before sanding so we do not remove more material than the floor can spare.

The process involves sanding, staining, and applying multiple coats of finish, with drying and curing time between steps. Most projects take several days, and the finished floor needs time to cure before heavy furniture and normal traffic return. You can often stay in the home, but the work area is off limits during the process.

We use dustless sanding equipment that captures the majority of dust at the source, which greatly reduces the mess compared to older methods. It is not completely dust-free, but it keeps particles out of the air and off surfaces far better, making the process much cleaner for occupied homes.

Yes. Sanding removes the old finish down to bare wood, which lets us apply a new stain color, from lighter natural tones to deeper finishes. Keep in mind the wood species affects how a stain looks, so we recommend testing samples on your actual floor before committing.
