Your Old Floors, Back From The Dead.
Sanding, staining, and refinishing that brings tired hardwood back to life — new color, new protection, and new boards woven in where needed, for a fraction of replacement.
What every refinish includes.
Most refinishes take three to four days: repairs, three sanding passes, stain if you want it, and three coats of finish — with dust containment running the whole time.
Board repairs & weaving
Damaged, pet-stained, and patched boards replaced with matching stock woven into the existing field.
Dust-contained sanding
Drum, edge, and buffer passes with vacuum containment — your home stays livable while we work.
Custom stain matching
Sample boards stained on your actual floor so you approve the color in your light, not a showroom's.
Water-based or oil finishes
Low-odor water-based poly for clear, fast-curing protection — or penetrating oils for a matte, repairable sheen.
Stairs & railings
Treads refinished to match the field, with risers painted or stained to your spec.
Recoat program
A maintenance recoat every 7–10 years keeps the finish young without ever sanding to bare wood again.
Refinishing questions, answered.
Refinish or replace — how do I decide?
If the boards are structurally sound with finish wear, scratches, or an outdated color, refinishing costs 40–60% less than replacement. If boards are cupped, split across the field, or under 1/8" of wear layer, replacement is honest advice — and we'll say so.
Can you change the color?
Yes — going darker is straightforward; going much lighter may need extra sanding or a whitewash technique. We stain test boards on your floor so there are no surprises.
Do we have to move out?
Usually not. We phase the work room by room with dust containment, and water-based finishes cure enough for socks-only traffic overnight. Oil finishes need a little more patience.
What about pet stains?
Surface stains sand out. Deep black stains that penetrate the board get cut out and replaced with matching wood before finishing — invisible once stained.
How many times can wood be refinished?
Solid 3/4" floors: many times over a century. Engineered: one to three times depending on wear-layer thickness — we measure it before quoting.
