Frequently Asked Questions

How long before I can walk on refinished floors?+
Light foot traffic is usually fine after 24 hours. Furniture can go back after 48–72 hours depending on the finish type.
Is sanding messy?+
We use dustless sanding equipment that captures 95%+ of dust. Some fine particles are unavoidable, but we seal off work areas.
How many times can hardwood be refinished?+
Solid hardwood can typically be refinished 4–6 times over its lifetime. Engineered hardwood depends on the wear layer thickness.
Can you change the color of my floors?+
Yes. Sanding removes the old stain, and we can apply any new color you choose.
