Our Commitment to Excellence

Restore appearance

Brings back the original grain, color depth, and consistent sheen so floors look clean and finished.

Increase property value

Fresh, well finished floors improve curb appeal and make the home more attractive to buyers.

Extend lifespan

A new protective topcoat seals the wood and slows wear so you delay or avoid expensive replacement.

Improve cleanliness

Sanding removes embedded dirt, old finish residues, and trapped allergens for a healthier living space.

Customize finish

Choose a new stain color or sheen level to match updated décor and lighting.

Refinish if your floors show surface scratches, worn finish, dull patches, or stain discoloration but the boards themselves are solid. If boards are warped, deeply gouged, or rotten, repairs or selective replacement may be needed before refinishing.

Signs Your Hardwood Floors Need Refinishing

Knowing when to refinish your hardwood floors can help you avoid permanent damage and costly replacements. Here are some clear signs it’s time to take action:

  • Deep scratches and gouges
  • Fading and discoloration
  • Loss of sheen
  • Water stains or dark spots
  • Bare wood patches
  • Uneven wear in high-traffic zones

Our Expert Hardwood Refinishing Process

Step 1: Initial Assessment & Consultation

We start by evaluating your floor’s condition, wood type, and your design preferences. During this stage, we discuss stain colors, finish options, and your expected outcome.

Step 2: Preparation & Site Protection

All furniture and rugs are removed, and we carefully mask off walls, cabinets, and vents to protect your space. We also fix minor issues such as loose boards or nail pops before sanding begins. For a smooth, efficient process, remove all furniture, wall décor, and fragile items before the crew arrives.

Step 3: Sanding (Aggressive to Fine)

We use professional sanding machines to strip away the old finish, surface scratches, and imperfections. Multiple sanding passes with finer grits create an even, smooth surface.

Step 4: Edging & Detailing

Edges, corners, and hard-to-reach areas are hand-sanded or detailed using orbital tools to ensure the entire floor surface is even and consistent.

Step 5: Cleaning & Inspection

After sanding, we vacuum thoroughly to remove dust and inspect the surface for any missed spots or imperfections. A spotless surface ensures the finish bonds properly.

Step 6: Stain Application (Optional)

If you choose to change or refresh your floor color, we apply a high-quality wood stain evenly across the surface. Proper drying time is essential to achieve consistent tone and depth.

Step 7: Finish Coats Application

We apply several coats of protective finish for durability and sheen, buffing lightly between coats to promote adhesion and a flawless final surface. Understand the difference between drying and curing. You can walk on floors after drying, but full curing takes longer. Waiting ensures the finish reaches its full hardness and protection.

Types of Hardwood Floor Finishes and Their Benefits

Refinish if your floors show surface scratches, worn finish, dull patches, or stain discoloration but the boards themselves are solid. If boards are warped, deeply gouged, or rotten, repairs or selective replacement may be needed before refinishing.

FAQs about Hardwood Floor Refinishing and Restoration

We understand that hardwood floor refinishing is a big decision. Below are clear, straightforward answers to the questions homeowners ask most often.

How much does hardwood floor refinishing cost?

Pricing depends on the total square footage, floor condition, and finish type. On average, Connecticut homeowners can expect to pay between $4 and $8 per square foot for professional refinishing.

Most projects take 2 to 4 days, depending on the size of the area, drying times between coats, and whether you choose staining.

Remove all furniture, rugs, and wall décor from the work area. Clear pathways for equipment and technicians to ensure an efficient process.

No. We use dustless sanding systems that capture over 95% of dust before it spreads through your home.

You can usually walk on floors after 24 hours with socks, but we recommend waiting the full 48–72 hours before wearing shoes.

Allow at least 72 hours before moving furniture and one week before placing rugs to ensure the finish has cured properly.

Yes. We can closely match most stain shades using custom color blending and on-site samples before full application.

Yes. Our finishes are low-VOC and eco-friendly, minimizing odors and harmful fumes. We still recommend keeping pets and children away from the area until the finish fully dries.

Modern finishes like Bona Traffic HD, Loba 2K Supra AT, and Pallmann X-Power are formulated to have very low odor and safe indoor air quality ratings.

Most floors need refinishing every 7–10 years, depending on foot traffic, pets, and how well they’re maintained.

Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove grit, clean with a hardwood-safe cleaner, and avoid wet mopping. Place felt pads under furniture legs and use rugs in high-traffic areas.

Tip: Ask your refinishing professional to create a post-refinishing maintenance plan. Simple care habits like using the right cleaner and controlling indoor humidity will help preserve the finish and keep your floors looking new for years.
