Hardwood Floor Refinishing
Our refinishing process removes surface damage and applies premium sealers to restore floors to original condition. Using advanced dustless technology, we minimize mess while enhancing wood grain through expert staining techniques. Clients choose between oil-based and water-based polyurethane finishes for optimal protection and aesthetic appeal.
Dustless Refinishing
This innovative technique captures 99% of dust particles during sanding operations. Specialized vacuum systems maintain clean environments while preserving finish quality. Ideal for pre-finished floors, this method reduces cleanup time and protects indoor air quality during hardwood restoration projects in residential settings.

We offer multiple stain options to achieve desired color tones while preserving wood character. Oak flooring accepts uniform coloring, while specialty stains create unique visual effects. Our experts help clients select ideal combinations that complement existing decor and enhance natural wood patterns through professional application techniques.
Floor Repair
Addressing structural issues through precise sub-floor leveling and damaged board replacement. Our technicians identify underlying problems causing uneven surfaces or squeaks. Repairs use matching materials to maintain visual consistency, ensuring long-term stability and seamless integration with existing flooring systems.
Finishing Carpentry
We handle complete baseboard removal, painting, and reinstallation to protect new floors during finishing. This integrated approach prevents damage from third-party trades. Custom trim work matches floor aesthetics while maintaining functional transitions between surfaces, ensuring polished results that enhance overall project quality.

Chris and Mike were professional and did an amazing job for us. First matching new with old, sanding and refinishing the two floors to be a seamless match. Their system is truly dustless, we were amazed how clean everything was.

Report
Chris and team refinished our maple floors. Other contractors claimed they would not be able to assure a good result as it was old hardwood. The result is spectacular. Finished with a matt sealer, it looks and feels great. The large amount of sanding of the old surface was, as advertised, truly dustless. Chris is a delightful fellow to work with. 5 Stars
