Basics of Floor Sanding
Floor sanding involves the systematic removal of the top layers of a wooden floor to eliminate scratches, stains, and old finishes. At Nashville Flooring Company, we typically perform three passes with progressively finer sandpaper grits. The first pass removes the old finish and levels the floor. The second pass smooths out the rough areas. The final pass prepares the wood for staining or sealing.
The process takes skill and patience as improper sanding can damage floors permanently. Most hardwood floors can be sanded 5-7 times during their lifetime, depending on the thickness of the wood. The cost of professional floor sanding services varies based on floor size, condition, and location, but investing in professional service prevents costly mistakes. We always recommend clearing the room completely and sealing it off to minimize dust migration throughout your home.

1. Preparing Your Floor for Sanding
Before we begin sanding your floors, all furnishings must be completely removed from the area. This includes not only furniture but also curtains, artwork, and any items that could collect dust. We recommend you store these items in another part of your home or in a temporary storage solution.
2. Safety During Sanding
Our team uses advanced dustless floor sanding equipment that captures up to 98% of the dust generated during the process. This significantly reduces airborne particles, creating a healthier environment for both our workers and your family.
3. Advanced Sanding Techniques
For floors with significant damage or cupping, we utilize specialized drum sanding techniques at 45-degree angles to the grain. This approach effectively levels severely warped boards without causing further damage.
4. Floor Finishing Options
We offer a variety of finishes to suit your lifestyle and design preferences. Our water-based polyurethane finishes dry quickly with minimal odor, making them perfect for families who need to use their space soon after application. These finishes provide excellent durability while maintaining the natural appearance of your wood.
5. Restoration and Maintenance
When your hardwood floors lose their luster, our restoration services can bring them back to life without a full refinishing. We begin by thoroughly cleaning your floors to remove embedded dirt and grime that regular cleaning can't address.
6. Common Repairs and Recoating
Pet damage is one of the most common issues we address. Our technicians expertly sand and repair scratches and stains caused by pets, matching the new finish perfectly with surrounding areas.
Environmental Considerations
At Nashville Flooring Company, we prioritize environmentally responsible practices in our floor sanding services. We believe that beautiful floors shouldn't come at the expense of our planet or your health.
Eco-Friendly Sanding Practices
We use dustless floor sanding systems that capture over 98% of the dust created during the sanding process. This approach not only keeps your home cleaner but also prevents fine wood particles from entering the air and water systems. Our specialized Floor Sanding Vacuum equipment connects directly to our sanders, creating negative pressure that pulls dust into containment systems rather than dispersing it throughout your space.
The dust-free sanding technology we employ reduces waste and minimizes harmful particulates that can affect indoor air quality. This is especially important for families with allergies or respiratory concerns. We also schedule our work efficiently to reduce machine runtime, lowering our carbon footprint.
Using Sustainable Materials
We partner with suppliers who source wood from responsibly managed forests with proper certification. When sanding floorboards, we carefully assess whether refinishing existing materials is possible before recommending replacement, preserving natural resources.
Our selection of Durable Floor Finish Options includes water-based polyurethanes and natural oils that contain low or zero VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). These finishes release fewer harmful chemicals into your home while providing excellent protection for your floors. Many of our eco-friendly products are manufactured using renewable energy.
We also recycle sanding residue when possible, turning waste into materials for composite wood products or biomass energy. Our commitment to environmental flooring solutions means we constantly research and adopt the latest sustainable innovations in the industry.
