Our Hardwood Floor Sanding & Refinishing Process

We make every project simple and stress-free. Here's what to expect.

1

Free In-Home Assessment

We inspect your floors, measure the wear layer thickness, identify damage areas, and confirm whether sanding is viable. We also help you choose stain colours and finish sheens.

2

Sanding

We use professional drum and edge sanders to remove the old finish and surface damage. Our dustless system captures 98%+ of dust, protecting your home during the process.

3

Staining (Optional)

If you want a colour change or enhancement, we apply your chosen stain evenly across the floor, including edges and corners, and allow full penetration before proceeding.

4

Finish Coating

We apply multiple coats of commercial-grade polyurethane or oil-based finish with light sanding between coats for a smooth, durable surface. Final inspection and walkthrough included.

Typical Timeline

A typical hardwood refinishing project takes 3 to 5 days: 1 day for sanding, 1 day for staining (if applicable), and 2 to 3 days for finish coats with drying time between coats. Light foot traffic is possible after 24 hours; full cure takes 7 days. We provide a clear day-by-day schedule before work begins.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Save time, money, and headaches by avoiding these common hardwood floor sanding & refinishing pitfalls.

✗Sanding engineered hardwood with a thin veneer — can't be refinished
✗Skipping spot repairs before sanding, leaving dips in the final surface
✗Applying stain over a dirty or incompletely sanded floor
✗Not allowing adequate dry time between coats, causing adhesion failure
✗Using consumer-grade polyurethane that wears out within 2 to 3 years
✗Sanding against the grain, leaving visible scratches under the finish
✗Hiring inexperienced crews who leave drum sander marks or uneven edges
