Is dustless sanding really dust-free?

Our system captures approximately 99% of dust at the source using commercial-grade containment equipment. While no process is 100% dust-free, our method is dramatically cleaner than traditional sanding and protects your home's air quality, furniture, and HVAC system.

How long does hardwood floor refinishing take?

Most refinishing projects take 2–4 days depending on square footage, number of coats, and stain drying time. A typical room (200–400 sq ft) takes 2 days. We'll give you a specific timeline during your free in-home estimate.

How soon can we walk on floors after refinishing?

Light foot traffic is typically safe within 24 hours of the final coat. We recommend waiting 48–72 hours before moving furniture back, and 1–2 weeks before placing area rugs to allow the finish to fully cure.

What's the best hardwood floor finish for homes with kids and pets?

We recommend Bona Traffic HD, a commercial-grade waterborne finish known for superior durability, scratch resistance, and low VOC content. It's designed to handle heavy foot traffic, pets, and kids — and it cures faster than oil-based alternatives.

Do my floors need to be replaced or can they be refinished?

Most hardwood floors can be refinished multiple times if there's enough wood above the tongue-and-groove. During your free in-home estimate, we measure the board thickness and give you an honest assessment — we never recommend replacement unless it's genuinely necessary.
