Traditional Sand and Refinish

When your floors need a full reset—deep scratches, uneven wear, water marks, or a color change—we sand to bare wood, address repairs, and build fresh stain (optional) and finish coats so the floor looks new again.

Sand to bare wood, then build your finish

When screening is not enough, we sand through old finish, optionally stain, and apply new protective coats—with clear timelines and upfront add-ons.

Full refinish vs. clean & recoat

Recoating is ideal when the wood is healthy and the finish is worn. Sand and refinish is the right path when you need to remove old finish entirely, blend repairs, change stain color, or address damage that screening cannot fix. We will tell you straight during your free assessment.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a full sand and refinish take?
Most homes need several days on site depending on square footage, repairs, stain dry time, and how many finish coats we build. We give you a realistic schedule at the estimate—not a vague promise.
Is stain required?
No. Natural wood with clear finish is beautiful. Stain is an optional add-on when you want a different tone or to even out blotchy areas.
How do stairs work?
Stair treads are quoted per step in our form. Sand and refinish stair pricing reflects the extra detail work compared to flat field areas.
