Hardwood Floor Refinishing

Complete restoration services to transform your home.

When your floors have lost their luster or sustained years of wear, simple cleaning isn't enough. Our complete refinishing service strips your floors down to the raw wood, removing old finishes, scratches, and discoloration. This is the ultimate reset button for your home—allowing you to restore the original beauty of the wood or completely change the style with a new stain color.

Complete Refinishing Process

Dustless Sanding Technology
We use advanced dust-containment equipment to sand your floors down to the raw grain without filling your home with airborne dust.

Custom Staining
From natural clear coats to rich espresso or modern grays, we offer on-floor color testing to ensure you love the look before the final coat is applied.

Commercial-Grade Finishes
We seal your floors with high-traffic polyurethanes designed to resist scuffs and moisture, available in matte, satin, semi-gloss, or high-gloss sheens.

Why Refinish?

  • Boost Home Value: Freshly refinished floors are a top selling point for buyers.
  • Eco-Friendly: Preserving your existing wood is more sustainable than manufacturing new flooring.
  • Cost-Effective: Achieve a “brand new” look for a fraction of the cost of installation.

Targeted Hardwood Repairs

Precision repairs that blend seamlessly with your existing floor.

Sometimes you don’t need a full sanding—you just need to fix specific damage. From pet stains to water damage, our team specializes in surgical repairs that preserve the integrity of your floor without the need for a total overhaul.

Board Replacement & Weave-Ins

We expertly remove damaged, cracked, or rotting boards and replace them with matching timber. Our weave-in technique ensures the new boards are staggered perfectly into the existing pattern, making the repair virtually invisible.

  • Fix water-stained areas (common near plants and radiators)
  • Repair deep gouges or structural damage
  • Seamless species and grade matching

Scratch & Dent Mitigation

Surface damage can detract from the elegance of your room. We use professional filling, steaming, and spot-treatment techniques to minimize the appearance of deep scratches and dents caused by furniture or pets.

  • Scratch Buffing: Smoothing out surface-level abrasions
  • Dent Steam-Out: Specialized techniques to lift compressed wood fibers
  • Spot Refinishing: Blending finish in high-traffic repair zones

Professional Results That Last

We use only the highest-quality materials to ensure your repairs don’t just look good today, but stand up to daily life for years to come. Our experienced team takes pride in precision, ensuring every repair blends naturally with the character of your home.
