Sand & Refinishing

One of our most popular services is refinishing. Refinishing a floor allows you to make repairs, remove scratches and change the floor color for much less than it costs to replace the floor. It involves sanding the wood bare to remove the existing finish & stain. Gaps between boards are filled using a filler and then buffed in preparation for the finish.

Sanding cuts down on the prevalence of cracks and splinters developing in your hardwood. So, kids, pets, and other family members can walk across the floor in socks or bare feet without harm.

Strength:

Sanding will even out the surface of the floor so that it remains level, closing up any spaces that exist between planks. It can also tighten up loose nails and remove wood splits, making the floor more resistant to traffic and furniture weight as a whole.

Cleanliness:

Finished floors don't collect dust as much. All you need to do is an occasional quick sweep and a wet mop job.
