Hardwood Floor Refinishing Process

1) Sanding to Raw Wood

The sanding stage removes stains, scratches, minor damage, and the old coat of polyurethane from your hardwood floors. It can get dusty, and there is no truly "dust-free" method to sand floors.

We're meticulous about protecting your belongings, cleaning up, and use the highest quality equipment and processes possible to keep the dust to a minimum. Our dust containment system is cleaner, healthier, and faster than traditional sanding methods.

Depending on the condition of your flooring, sanding can be a three-part process:

First, the rough cut levels the surface and removes the old finish.
Next, a grain cut removes existing scratches, stains, or other blemishes.
Last, we buff the floor to smooth the surface in preparation for staining and sealing.

2) Finishing the Surface

Now we apply a fresh coat of polyurethane. We use a high-quality, low-VOC, waterborne product like Bona to achieve high shine, rich color, slip resistance, and durability.

You can adjust the color of your flooring by choosing between a clear or colored finish.
It helps protect from things like water damage and fading. It also slows down wear-and-tear to help prevent scratches and stains.

Choose between a matte finish for a more rustic look or a glossy finish for that magazine-quality "shiny hardwood floor" look.

1) Choose Your Flooring

When you hire us to install your hardwood, our flooring product partner contacts you directly to schedule an appointment at their showroom.

You'll get expert guidance choosing the best hardwood flooring for your home. Hardwood comes in a range of varieties that includes traditional oak, maple, and ash as well as more exotic styles such as Ipe, Cumaru, and Tigerwood.

Next, your consultant will coordinate a time with you (possibly right after your showroom visit) to take measurements back at your house.

2) Preparation and Installation

We pass on our wholesale pricing to you, and arrange for the materials to be delivered to your home.

One of our installers will arrive as scheduled. There may be some demolition (such as removing carpet), and he will perform carpentry, repairs, and preparation of the subfloor, as applicable.

Hardwood floor installation is an art, and we're pleased to have talented artists on our team. We cut, align, and position the wood planks for the best durability and a gorgeous appearance.

No two hardwood floors are alike. You'll enjoy a perfectly unique and stunning new floor.
