Sanding an old floor down to raw wood and giving it new life with a top notch finishing job is for us one of the most rewarding services we provide. The process in effect makes the floor brand new again -- and most floors can be sanded multiple times.

Sanding a floor A brief description of the process

First we sand off all traces of the old finish with coarse grit sandpaper. This phase of the process also levels out any unevenness between individual boards.

We then progress to finer grits using National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) approved floor sanding methods.

Then either a sealer or stain is applied, depending on the desired color effect, followed by top coats of durable wood floor finish.
