Service 05 — Refinishing
Full sand-and-finish restoration. Color changes, repairs, water damage, pet stains. Commercial-grade finishes that protect for decades.
Why Refinishing
Your hardwood floors have stories — kids, dogs, parties, years of life. But decades of wear don't mean replacement. With a professional sand-and-finish, we strip away the years and reveal the beauty underneath.
Refinishing costs a fraction of replacement, adds instant resale value, and can completely transform the look of a room with a color change.
What's Included
Professional drum and edger sanding through progressive grits for a glass-smooth surface.
Lighten, darken, or completely transform your floor with custom stain colors.
We repair cupped, warped, and water-stained boards as part of the restoration.
Deep-set pet stains and odors are addressed — often sanded out completely.
We source and install matching boards for any that are beyond repair.
Durable polyurethane finishes that protect your floors for decades, not years.
Our Process
We assess your floors — checking board thickness, damage, existing finish, and refinishing potential.
We replace damaged boards, repair water damage, and set nails before a single pass of the sander.
Three to four progressive passes with professional sanders. We start coarse and finish ultra-fine.
We apply your chosen custom stain evenly, letting the wood's natural character show through.
Multiple coats of commercial-grade polyurethane. We manage the curing process and walk you through care.
Restoration Options
After Your Refinish
Keep foot traffic off for 24 hours and heavy furniture for 48–72 hours. We'll give you a detailed timeline.
Use area rugs in high-traffic zones during the first month while the finish fully cures.
Sweep or dust mop regularly. Use only hardwood-safe cleaners on the new finish.
With proper care, your refinished floors will look beautiful for 15–20+ years before needing another sand.

Not necessarily. We can work room by room. Some dust containment is needed, but you can usually stay home.
