Our Process
Our Hardwood Refinishing Process
- 1
Inspection & Assessment
We inspect your floors to assess condition, wood type, existing finish, and any damage. This determines whether full refinishing or a screen & recoat is the right approach.
- 2
Preparation & Dust Control
We prepare the space, seal doorways, and set up dust containment systems so you can remain comfortable in your home during the refinishing process.
- 3
Sanding
Using professional-grade equipment, we sand the floor to bare wood, progressing through multiple grits to remove old finish and surface imperfections for a smooth, even surface.
- 4
Staining & Sealing
We apply your chosen stain color (or leave natural) and seal with premium finish. Multiple coats build durability and showcase the wood grain.

Hardwood Refinishing FAQs
How long does hardwood floor refinishing take? +
Most refinishing projects take 3-7 days depending on floor size and condition. We provide a detailed timeline before starting. The process includes sanding, staining (if desired), sealing, and cure time before full use. We minimize disruption so you can stay in your home.
How much does hardwood floor refinishing cost? +
Cost varies based on square footage, wood condition, and finish type. We provide transparent, detailed estimates after inspecting your floors. Our owner-direct approach means no hidden markups, so you get master-level work at fair pricing.
Can you sand and refinish floors in occupied homes? +
Yes, we specialize in refinishing while homeowners remain in place. We use dust containment systems and work efficiently to minimize disruption. Most families manage well by staying in other areas during the sanding phase.
What wood stain colors do you recommend? +
We work with premium stain products and can show samples. Popular choices range from natural honey tones to deeper walnut and espresso finishes. Your existing décor, lighting, and preference guide the decision. We offer free samples applied to your actual floors.
How often do hardwood floors need refinishing? +
With proper care, hardwood floors typically need refinishing every 7-10 years, though high-traffic areas may need it sooner. Regular sweeping, occasional damp mopping, and protective finishes extend the time between refinishes.
What's the difference between screening and full refinishing? +
Screening and recoating is a light sanding and new finish layer, ideal for floors in good condition. Full refinishing (sanding to bare wood) removes existing finish and imperfections, revealing the natural wood beauty. We assess your floors and recommend the best approach.
Do you install new hardwood floors too? +
Yes, we install new hardwood flooring as well as refinish existing floors. Whether you're starting fresh or reviving beautiful hardwood already in your home, we handle the entire process from start to finish.
What kind of finish do you use? +
We use high-quality polyurethane and water-based finishes depending on your needs and aesthetic preferences. Water-based finishes dry faster and are lower-odor; oil-based finishes provide a warmer appearance. We'll recommend the best option for your situation.
