Refinish the floor you already own

Solid hardwood has a trait most floors do not: it can be sanded down and restored multiple times. With proper maintenance, hardwood can last up to 20 years or more, and a sand and finish is how it gets a fresh start in the middle of that life.

So before anyone talks about tearing a hardwood floor out, ask whether it needs replacing at all. Dull, scuffed or worn boards often need sanding and a new coat, not a new floor.

Our own jobs show the range. One started as a damaged, pulled-up wood floor and ended as warm refinished hardwood. Another started with dull boards and ended as glossy refinished oak.

Three numbers that protect a fresh coat

A new finish needs the right room to cure in. The temperature must be between 70 and 74 degrees, so we ask you to keep the thermostat steady while the coat does its work.

Then comes the waiting. Our installation agreement says not to walk on a recently coated floor for 48 hours, and to keep furniture off it for 72 hours. Those are our rules in writing, not fine print found later.

If you want furniture moved before and after, that can be done for an additional cost. The full terms are on our installation page.

What the before and after tells you

Look at the two pictures below: the floor under the damage is still hardwood, and the finish is what you see. That is why we start with a conversation about the condition of your boards before we quote anything.

Call or text and we will set up a free in-home estimate, about 30 minutes at your place. If the boards are beyond saving, we also install engineered hardwood and other floors, and we will say so plainly.

Our installers clean up and remove all trash, and every professional installation carries a 1-year warranty.
