You can walk on your newly refinished floor the next day, but only in socks—no shoes. It takes about five days to fully cure.

Be careful during this time. Avoid moving heavy furniture for at least three days, but waiting five days is best to prevent damage.

After refinishing, you might see a little dust on countertops, but our dust-free sanding process captures 95% of dust. We use high-powered vacuums, ziplock seals, and protective coverings to keep your home clean while we work.

Buffing and recoating (resurfacing) adds a fresh layer of finish over your existing floor without sanding, helping to maintain its shine and durability, hiding light scratches. It’s the right decision every 3–7 years to keep floors looking great.

Full refinishing is a deeper process and helps restore hardwood floors. It sands the floor down to bare wood, removes the old finish, and makes your floors look brand new for many years.

Yes, but only in certain cases. If your hardwood floors have light wear and no deep scratches, you can do a buff and recoat instead of full sanding.

If your floors have deep scratches, stains, or need floor repair, full sanding and refinishing is the best option for a like-new look. Contact us to see which option is right for your floors.

We can get a close match, but a perfect blend isn’t always possible. Wood age, grain, and natural variations affect how stain absorbs, especially on older floors.

If your floors were site-finished recently, matching is easier. We consider wood species, grade, and length for the best results, though custom stains can be trickier to blend. We’ll do our best to make it look seamless. We always use quality products for a better result.
