Most refinishing projects take 2–4 days, depending on area size, layout, and finish choice. Larger spaces or complex repairs can extend timing. We give a clear timetable before work begins and keep you updated so furniture moves, curing, and return-to-use are easy to plan.
Pricing reflects scope and choices. We provide transparent estimates and clear options. Main drivers:
Refinishing starts from $3/sq ft; installation and stair work are quoted after an in-home visit.
Dustless sanding uses equipment that captures dust at the source, keeping air cleaner and surfaces tidier while we work. You get a smoother substrate and better finish adhesion, less cleanup, and fewer irritants in the home, especially helpful for families, pets, and sensitive occupants.
For Barrington’s seasonal swings, we often recommend low-VOC, water-based or commercial-grade systems for balanced durability, clarity, and fast cure. They handle humidity changes well and stay stable through winter dryness. We’ll match sheen, color, and maintenance to your use and lighting.
Yes. We routinely restore original floors in older homes: careful repairs, board weaving, and sympathetic sanding keep character intact while renewing protection. If sections are beyond saving, we source compatible material and blend color and sheen so the finished floor looks cohesive rather than patched.
