What to Expect: Our Refinishing Process

We have refined our process over years of experience to deliver consistent, beautiful results with minimal disruption to your household.

1

Free Consultation

We visit your home, assess the condition of your floors, discuss your vision, and provide a transparent, itemized estimate. No high-pressure sales -- just honest guidance from flooring professionals.

2

Floor Preparation

Before sanding begins, we carefully prepare the work area. This includes protecting adjacent rooms with plastic barriers, sealing vents, and ensuring all nails are set below the wood surface to prevent damage to our sanding equipment.

3

Dustless Sanding

Using state-of-the-art dustless sanding equipment, we remove the old finish and smooth the wood surface. Our system captures 99% of airborne dust at the source, keeping your home remarkably clean. We sand in multiple passes with progressively finer grits for a perfectly smooth surface.

4

Stain Selection

If you would like to change or refresh the color of your floors, we apply test stain samples directly to your wood so you can see exactly how each option will look. Choose from dozens of colors, from natural tones to rich, contemporary shades.

5

Bona Certified Finish

We apply multiple coats of Bona's premium water-based polyurethane finish, allowing proper drying time between coats. These finishes are low-VOC, GREENGUARD certified, and provide exceptional clarity, durability, and resistance to everyday wear. Choose from matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss sheens.

6

Final Walkthrough

Once the finish has cured, we conduct a thorough final walkthrough with you. We inspect every inch of the floor together, address any questions, and provide care instructions so your refinished floors stay beautiful for years to come.

Signs Your Floors Need Refinishing

Not sure if your hardwood floors are ready for a refresh? Here are the most common indicators that it is time to call a professional.

Visible Scratches and Scuffs

Surface scratches from foot traffic, furniture, and pets accumulate over time. When scratches become widespread or deep enough to expose bare wood, refinishing will smooth them away and protect the wood underneath.

Dullness and Loss of Sheen

If your floors have lost their luster despite regular cleaning, the polyurethane finish has likely worn thin. A new coat of Bona finish restores that beautiful, light-reflecting sheen.

Discoloration or Gray Spots

Grayish or dark spots often indicate that moisture is reaching the bare wood through a compromised finish. Addressing this early prevents deeper damage and costly board replacement.

Water Damage or Staining

Water rings from planters, pet accidents, or spills that have penetrated the finish often show as dark stains. Sanding removes the damaged layer, and new stain and finish restore a uniform appearance.

Peeling or Flaking Finish

When the polyurethane starts to peel, chip, or flake, the protective barrier is failing. This exposes the wood to accelerating damage and should be addressed promptly.

Outdated Color or Style

Styles change. If your floors were stained a color that no longer fits your aesthetic -- perhaps an orange-toned oak from decades past -- refinishing lets you choose a modern color that complements your current decor.

Most refinishing projects are completed in 3 to 5 days for an average-sized home. This includes sanding, staining (if selected), and applying multiple coats of Bona finish with proper drying time between each coat. Larger homes or floors in poor condition may take slightly longer. We provide a specific timeline during your free consultation.

Yes, all furniture and belongings need to be removed from the rooms being refinished before we begin. We recommend planning this in advance and can discuss logistics during the consultation. We may be able to assist with smaller items, but larger furniture should be relocated by the homeowner or a moving service.
