Below you’ll find answers to the most common questions homeowners ask about hardwood refinishing, repairs, staining, installation, staircase refinishing, and our 3-Year Workmanship Warranty.
Hardwood refinishing is the process of sanding the floor down to bare wood, repairing imperfections, applying stain (if desired), and sealing the surface with a durable finish. This restores the floor’s original beauty and strengthens it for years of everyday use.
02
Refinishing is ideal when there are deep scratches, wear spots, discoloration, water marks, or when the finish is completely worn off.
Buffing (screen & recoat) is suitable for floors with light surface wear but no deep damage or exposed wood.
We always provide an in-home assessment to determine the right option.
03
Most refinishing projects take 2–4 days, depending on square footage, stain choice, and number of finish coats.
04
Yes. Proper refinishing restores the floor to a like-new appearance, often eliminating years of scratches and wear.
05
We use a dust-controlled sanding system to minimize airborne dust. While no sanding process is 100% dust-free, our equipment significantly reduces mess in your home.
06
Water-based finishes have low odor, while traditional oil-based finishes have a more noticeable scent during drying. All odors dissipate as the finish cures. We will advise you ahead of time so you can plan accordingly.
