A true reset — sand to bare wood.
When recoating won't cut it. We sand to bare wood, blend repairs, optionally stain, and build fresh sealer plus finish coats — leaving you with a floor that looks brand new and lasts decades.

When sanding is the right call — and when it isn't.
Some floors need a true reset. Others just need a refresh. We'll tell you honestly during the free walkthrough — and we only book a full sand when your floor actually needs it.
Full sand & refinish
When recoating won't cut it — deep gouges, water stains, color changes, or floors that have been recoated several times — a full refinish gives you a brand-new floor.
- Removes deep gouges, pet damage, and water stains
- Optional stain — change the color, not the floor
- Builds fresh sealer + multiple finish coats
- Like-new result, decades of life left
- More days on site than a recoat
Clean & recoat
If the wood underneath is sound and only the finish is dull, a recoat saves you days of downtime — but it can't fix what a sand can.
- Same-day, dust-free service
- Far less downtime than a full sand
- Won't lift deep gouges or pet damage
- Can't change the color
- Won't blend repairs or board replacements
A clear, day-by-day plan — no vague promises.
Here's exactly what a typical sand and refinish looks like in your home. The walkthrough confirms the day-by-day schedule in writing so you can plan around it.
- Day 1
Walkthrough, prep, and rough sand
We protect adjacent areas, mask off vents, and start the rough sand to remove the existing finish and flatten high spots. HEPA dust capture runs the entire time.
- Day 2
Fine sand, repairs, and stain (if chosen)
Successive grits to refine the surface, plus board repairs and color-matched fills. If you've chosen a stain, we apply it once the wood is ready.
Decision day - Day 3
Sealer + first finish coat
Sealer goes down to lock the wood, followed by the first coat of finish in your chosen sheen — satin, semi-gloss, or matte.
- Day 4
Second finish coat & dry time
The second coat goes on once the first is set. We pack out, walk you through the floor, and answer questions before we leave the site.
- Day 5
Walk-on cure & turnover
You can walk on socks the next day. Furniture goes back in 48–72 hours. Full cure (rugs, area runners) is at the seven-day mark.

Why a full sand — instead of a recoat?
Recoating is great for surface wear. A full sand is for floors that need more — deep damage, water stains, color changes, or end-of-life finish that won't come back with a recoat.
Removes deep damage
Gouges, dents, pet stains, and water rings — sanding to bare wood gives the floor a true reset, not just a refresh.
Color change, optional
Fresh start means you can change the stain — from honey to walnut, light oak to ebony — without replacing a single board.
Built-up finish protection
Sealer plus multiple finish coats deliver more wear life than a recoat. The right call when you want decades, not years.
Dust-controlled
HEPA-attached sanders contain the bulk of the dust at the source. Zero-dust isn't honest with sanding — but our setup is the closest you can get.
Written, fixed scope
Stain, finish sheen, repairs, stair counts — every line spelled out before we start, with no day-of surprise add-ons.
Recommended only when needed
If a recoat will give you the look you want, we'll tell you. We only book a full sand when your floors actually need it.
Everything you'd ask at the kitchen table.
How much does a full sand and refinish cost?
Every floor is different — square footage, repairs, stair counts, stain choice, and finish all factor in. After a free walkthrough we send a written, fixed-price quote within 24 hours. If a recoat will get you what you want for less, we'll tell you straight.
How long does a full sand and refinish take?
Most homes are 3–5 days on site, depending on square footage, stain dry time, and the number of finish coats. We give you a realistic per-day schedule at the walkthrough — not a vague promise.
How is this different from a clean and recoat?
A recoat lays new finish over the existing one — fast, but limited to surface wear. A full sand removes the old finish down to bare wood, fixes deep damage, and lets us change the color. It's the right call when a recoat won't get you the look you want.
Can I stay in the house during the project?
Some clients do, most prefer not to — there's noise, dust capture isn't 100%, and the finish has VOCs that off-gas for the first 24 hours. We'll talk through your specific situation at the walkthrough.
Do you handle stairs?
Yes. Stairs are scoped separately from the open field — treads, risers, and railings each take more detail work than a flat floor. Your written quote spells out the stair count and what's included.
How long will a refinish last?
A properly refinished floor typically goes 7–10 years before it needs another recoat, and decades before another full sand. Most homeowners recoat every few years to push the next sand way out.
Ready for a floor that looks brand new?
Free walkthrough, written quote, fixed price. Most homeowners book within a couple of weeks — and most refinishes are done in under a week on site.
