Vacuum on a hardwood setting and dry-dust often; plan a full refinish roughly every 7–10 years to keep protection.
Choose hardwood-safe cleaners; harsh chemicals and oil soaps can haze the finish and shorten service life, especially in kitchens and entries.
Place rugs at entries and felt pads under furniture; reduce grit and chair scuffing to minimize scratches and premature finish wear.
Keep indoor humidity roughly 30–50% to limit gapping, cupping, and seasonal movement in both solid hardwood and engineered wood flooring.

Most projects run two to five days, depending on square footage, stain selection, repairs, and the finish system. Water-based finishes allow faster recoat and return to service; oil-modified systems need longer cure time. We share a day-by-day plan before work starts so you can plan around it.
Refinishing typically starts around $3 per sq ft. Final pricing reflects scope and site conditions, not a flat rate. Expect the estimate to adjust based on:
Every quote is line-itemed and transparent.
Dustless refinishing uses pro sanders connected to powerful vacuums that capture most dust at the source. The result is cleaner air, faster cleanup, and a smoother surface for stain and finish. It’s ideal for lived-in homes and reduces the post-project wipe-down to a minimum.
Water-based, low-VOC systems from brands like Bona and Loba handle seasonal swings well, cure quickly, and keep odors low. Sheen options range from extra matte to satin. We’ll balance durability and look for each room’s traffic, light, and cleaning habits, so the finish holds up without yellowing.
Yes. We repair, patch, and refinish older floors, including early oak strip, parquet, and site-finished boards. We source compatible boards, blend grain and grade, and feather repairs so seams disappear. The goal is to keep character while upgrading protection, color consistency, and long-term service life.
