Steps
Our five-step process
is designed to deliver the highest level of quality—while keeping your home as clean and disruption-free as possible.
Step 1:
Room Preparation
We start by prepping your space with care. Plastic sheeting is placed in key areas to contain dust, and our refinishing system is 99% dust-free—helping to keep the rest of your home clean throughout the project.
Step 2:
Equipment Setup
Once the space is prepped, our team sets up the necessary equipment, including connecting the sander to your electrical panel. This step ensures everything runs smoothly, and we'll always communicate any needs with you ahead of time.
Step 3:
Sanding & Repair
We begin sanding with a rough grit to remove old finish and smooth out damage, then follow with a finer grit for a clean, even surface. During this stage, we also fill gaps, cracks, and nail holes. If filler loosens during sanding, it's typically due to movement between boards or an old finish that didn't bond well—something our team knows how to address.
Step 4:
Detail Work & Sealing
Corners and tight spaces are hand-scraped, and we use a multi-head sanding disk to blend everything evenly. After a thorough vacuum, we apply a technique called water popping (if staining is selected) for even color absorption. Otherwise, we proceed to seal the floors to lock in a smooth, consistent look.
Step 5:
Drying & Final Touches
We allow the seal to dry for 24 hours before returning for a final buff and detailed finish work. Plastic sheeting is removed, the space is cleaned, and your floor is left with a beautiful, renewed appearance.
Restore the Natural Beauty of Your Hardwood Floors
Our team is committed to quality craftsmanship and your complete satisfaction. Most projects take between 2 and 10 days depending on the scope, and we always let clients know to expect possible paint touch-ups along the trim.
