Refinish your hardwood floors instead of replacing them.
Solid hardwood can be sanded several times over its life. If your floor has wood left to sand, refinishing gives you a floor that looks new for far less than replacing it.

When to choose something else
If boards are cupping from a leak that's still active, the leak gets fixed first.
Engineered floors can be sanded only if the top wood layer is thick enough. We check it during the estimate.
Laminate and vinyl plank are replaced rather than sanded.
What the free estimate includes
We measure the job, check what's underneath, and go over your options in the rooms they apply to.
You get the scope and price in writing, usually by text.
Your options
The choices that change how the floor looks, lasts, and costs.
Full sand and refinish
Sanded to bare wood, then sealed in several coats. Removes scratches and resets the floor.
Color change
The same sanding with a new stain. Sanding is most of the cost, so a new color adds less than you might expect.
Oil-based polyurethane
Very durable. Turns slightly amber over time, smells stronger, and takes longer to cure.
Water-based finish
Stays clear, smells less, and cures faster. Current products are very durable.

Common questions
How many times can a floor be refinished?
A three-quarter-inch solid floor can usually be sanded several times. Engineered floors depend on the thickness of the top wood layer. We check yours during the estimate.
Is refinishing cheaper than replacing?
In most homes, yes, by a wide margin. Refinishing is labor and finish. Replacement adds new wood and removing the old floor.
How much dust is there?
Sanding makes fine dust. We close off the rooms we're not working in and tell you what to cover or put away before we start.
When can we walk on it?
It depends on the finish. We'll give you the times for walking on it and moving furniture back before we start.
