Initial Assessment and Consultation

Our sanding process removes the old finish and fixes surface problems. We use special dust-free sanders to keep your home clean. These machines get rid of scratches, dents, and stains.



If we find deeper issues, we fix them right away. This might mean:


  • Replacing damaged boards
  • Filling gaps between planks
  • Fixing loose or squeaky boards


We sand the floor multiple times. Each time, we use finer sandpaper. This makes sure the wood is smooth and ready for the new finish.

Sanding and Repairs

After sanding, it's time to add color and protection to your floor. We offer many staining options to match your style. You can pick from light, medium, or dark shades. We can even mix custom colors.



We apply the stain carefully to ensure even coverage. Then, we let it dry fully before adding the finish. For the finish, you can choose from:


  • Glossy: Shiny and bright
  • Semi-gloss: Less shiny, still sleek
  • Satin: Soft shine, hides marks well
  • Matte: No shine, very modern look


We use tough, long-lasting finishes. These protect your floor from wear and make it easy to clean. We apply several coats, letting each one dry between applications. This creates a strong, beautiful surface that will last for years.

Staining and Finishing Options

Types of Hardwood Floors We Specialize In

We work with a wide range of hardwood flooring options to suit different tastes and needs. Our expertise covers solid and engineered hardwood, as well as pre-finished and unfinished wood floors.

Solid hardwood floors are made from single pieces of wood. We offer various wood species like oak, maple, and walnut. These floors can last for decades with proper care.



Solid hardwood comes in different widths and grades. Wider planks create a rustic look, while narrower strips suit traditional homes. We can help you pick the right grade based on your budget and style preferences.


One big plus of solid hardwood is that it can be sanded and refinished many times. This lets you change the color or fix damage over the years.

Solid Hardwood

Engineered hardwood has a real wood top layer over plywood or fiberboard layers. This structure makes it more stable in humid or dry conditions. We stock engineered options in many wood types and finishes.



These floors work well in basements or over concrete slabs. They're also a good choice for rooms with in-floor heating. Most engineered floors can be refinished 1-3 times, depending on the thickness of the top layer.


We can install engineered hardwood as a floating floor or glue it down. This flexibility makes it fit for various subfloor types.

Engineered Hardwood

Pre-finished floors come with the stain and topcoats already applied. This means faster installation and less mess in your home. We carry a large selection of pre-finished options in different colors and sheens.


Unfinished floors are sanded and finished on-site. This allows for custom stain colors and a perfectly level surface. It's ideal for matching existing woodwork or creating a unique look.


With unfinished floors, we can also add special touches like inlays or borders. The downside is that on-site finishing takes longer and creates more dust.

Care and Maintenance Tips Post-Refinishing

After refinishing your hardwood floors, proper care is key to maintaining their beauty. We recommend following these tips to protect your investment and keep your floors looking great for years to come.

Dusting and cleaning your hardwood floor regularly are essential to preserve its new finish. We suggest using a soft-bristled broom or a microfiber mop to remove daily dirt and debris. Vacuum weekly with a soft brush attachment to prevent scratches.


For deeper cleaning, use a damp mop with a cleaner made specifically for hardwood floors. Avoid excess water, as it can damage the wood. We recommend cleaning spills immediately to prevent staining or warping.


Don't use vinegar, soap-based cleaners, or wax on your newly refinished floors. These products can dull the finish or leave a residue. Steam cleaners are also a no-go, as they can harm the wood with heat and moisture.

Regular Cleaning Practices

To protect your refinished hardwood floors, place mats at all entrances to trap dirt and moisture. We suggest using felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches when moving items.



Consider using area rugs in high-traffic zones to reduce wear. Be sure to use rug pads that won't discolor your floor. Rotate rugs periodically to ensure even exposure to sunlight and foot traffic.


Keep pet nails trimmed to minimize scratches. Use window coverings to protect your floors from direct sunlight, which can cause fading and damage over time. Maintain a consistent indoor humidity level between 35-55% to prevent wood expansion and contraction.
