How do I know if my floors need sanding

Floors expand and contract throughout the seasons. Over time they become uneven and show wear in high traffic areas. There may be scratches, or you may want to change the color due to current trends. Some floors may not require a complete sanding but may only need to be reconditioned. This process is faster and less expensive.

Will I have to leave my home

There is no reason for you to have to leave your home while having your floors installed or refinished. We do recommend as little traffic as possible while the work is being done. Most finish work is done during the morning hours and with today's faster drying products you can get back on your floors, if necessary, with light traffic later that day.

How much dust will there be

Today's dust containment equipment used in the sanding floors has come a long way in protecting your home and workers from airborne dust. This means over 90% less dust in your home. Our machines are equipped with vacuums that help control airborne dust.

What about removal of furniture

You will have to remove furniture of all the rooms that are to be sanded and finished.We do not move furniture however we are more than happy to help with large items. We can also help you in the planning stages for your project if needed.

How long will the process take

Square footage and finish you choose will determine how long the work will take. Most jobs take 3-4 days to complete. There is usually one day of sanding followed by a few mornings of applying the finish. To get an idea on how long your particular job may take, call us with the number of rooms and their general sizes, or you can schedule a free in home estimate.

What about stains and finishes?

What may seem a good choice on a color chart might not look the same when applied to your floor. We use charts to get an idea of the color tone you prefer, apply those stains to the floor to help you decide what works in your home. Our finishes can be found on the sanding page and are high quality, durable and more UV resistant helping to maintain the wood's natural color over time.

We Accept All Major Credit Cards.
