Sand and Refinishing
Sanding and refinishing of solid hardwood floors has come a long way in the past years. Our sanding equipment has become virtually dustless, stains and finishes are low V.O.C, and curing times have shortened. For you as a customer this means:
-
Less intrusive, virtually no dust
-
Less odors
-
Faster turnaround times
When sanding and refinishing a solid hardwood floor,
we completely remove the old finish until we arrive at “new” wood. Once stripped, we trowel fill the floor to remedy any separation of planks, little nicks and cracks in the wood. Next, we sand and hand edge your floors once again. After this step we apply the desired color or stain to your floor. If undecided, we can place sample color swabs on your floor for your selection at this point. At last we apply two coats of commercial grade finish on your floor to protect it. Our finish comes in different sheen levels from matte to gloss and, of course, your choice will be applied.

Staining Hardwood Floors
Hardwood flooring offers rich, warm, timeless beauty, and can even favorably affect the resale value of your home. Without question, wood costs more than other types of flooring, but many homeowners view the material as a wise long-term investment. Why? Because when a hardwood floor starts to show wear and tear, you can refinish it and in so doing, revitalize its look and performance. Make no mistake, however: Sanding, staining, and sealing a wood floor takes time and effort. It’s a demanding project, even for a veteran home handyman. That said, you can save a considerable sum by doing it yourself, sometimes more than half of what it would cost to hire a pro. If you’re ready and willing to take on the task, keep reading for the details on how to stain your own hardwood floors.
The weekend-long process follows these steps:
-
Empty the room.
-
Use a random orbital sander to sand the floor three times, using a lighter-grit abrasive with each pass.
-
Remove dust with a heavy-duty shop vac followed by rags dampened with mineral spirits.
-
Apply stain to the hardwood floor in one 2-foot section at a time using a lambswool applicator.
-
Top the finish with a protective and glossy coat of polyurethane sealer.
