What refinishing does
Refinishing removes the old finish, sands the wood and applies new stain and finish. It restores worn floors and lets you change their color. For floors with lighter wear, a recoat can refresh the finish without a full sand.
How we do it
We start with preparation: repairing surface damage, replacing boards that cannot be saved and filling gaps where that is appropriate. Then we sand, apply the stain you chose and finish the floor.
We use dust containment while sanding. It reduces dust a great deal, but no one can promise a completely dust-free project.
Before we start, we talk through stain colors and finish options with you so you know what the floor will look like.
What your estimate can include
- Sanding and finish removal
- Stain and finish application
- Board replacement and surface repair
- Gap filling, where appropriate
- Transitions and finishing details
Your written estimate lists the work included and anything priced separately. Unexpected conditions under the old floor can change the scope, and any added work is agreed in writing before it starts.

Should I refinish or replace my hardwood?
It depends on the condition of the wood. We look at the floor during the estimate and tell you what we see.
Can I change the color of my floor?
Yes. A full sand and refinish lets you choose a new stain.
How long before I can walk on it?
It depends on the finish used. Your installer will give you the timing for your floor.
