Our Sand & Finish Process

1. Inspection and Plan

We assess wood species, thickness, and previous finish. We confirm repairs, stain color, and sheen so the result matches your vision.

2. Jobsite Protection

We protect adjacent rooms, vents, and cabinets. Furniture is moved or covered. Low‑dust sanding and HEPA filtration are set up.

3. Professional Sanding

Progressive grits remove the old finish and scratches, then refine the surface. Edges, corners, and stairs are blended for a uniform cut.

4. Repairs and Detail Work

We fill nail holes and gaps as needed, replace damaged boards if required, and hand scrape edges where machines cannot reach.

5. Stain and Color Choice

Optional stain samples are applied on your floor for true‑to‑room light decisions. Once approved, stain is applied evenly and allowed to cure.

6. Finish Coats

Two to three protective coats are applied with proper abrading between coats for adhesion. We maintain ideal temperature and humidity for a smooth, durable film.

7. Final Walkthrough

We review results with you, share care instructions, and confirm cure timelines for light use and full move‑in.

Finish Options

Water‑Based Polyurethane: Fast recoat and low odor. Crystal clear look that resists yellowing. Great for natural and light stains.
Green right-pointing arrow icon
Oil‑Based Polyurethane: Warm amber tone and rich depth. Excellent durability with a classic look.

Sheen Levels: Matte for modern and low glare, Satin for soft glow, Semi‑gloss or Gloss for higher shine and showpiece rooms.

Dust Control and Safety

Our systems capture the majority of airborne dust at the source. Vents are covered, work areas are sealed, and cleanup includes a full vacuum pass and wipe‑down so your home stays cleaner from start to finish.

Common Questions

Can you remove deep pet stains or water rings?

Many can be sanded out. Severe black stains may require board replacement or a darker stain to blend.

How many times can floors be refinished?

Most solid hardwoods can be refinished multiple times. Engineered floors depend on wear‑layer thickness. We measure before we start.

Will there be an odor?

Water‑based systems have very low odor. Oil‑based has a stronger scent that dissipates with ventilation.
