Hardwood Floor Sanding & Refinishing
Worn, scratched, dull, and aging hardwood can often be restored without replacing the boards. Years of foot traffic, pet claws, and furniture leave marks in the finish. Faded spots and dark traffic lanes make even solid oak look tired.
We sand the surface down to fresh wood, which removes the damaged finish and most surface scratches. Then we stain if you want a new color and seal the floor with a protective finish. The result is a floor that looks new and is ready for daily life again.
Restoring Worn Hardwood Floors
Refinishing removes the old, worn finish along with stains and surface scratches. The boards underneath are sanded back to fresh wood and sealed again, so a floor that looks tired can often be restored without tearing out the existing hardwood.
Refinishing vs. Replacing
Refinishing is usually a more practical choice than replacing solid hardwood when the boards are still sound. It keeps the character of your existing floor and avoids the disruption of removing it. If your floor is beyond refinishing, we can talk through hardwood floor installation options during your visit.
