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
- Pet Stains and Urine 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.
Choose the Right Finish for Your Lifestyle
If you have pets, kids, or high foot traffic, durability and scratch resistance matter most. For a cleaner, more natural look, water-based finishes work well. For rich tone and old-world warmth, oil-based options stand out. UV-cured finishes are perfect when you need speed and top-tier protection.

Daniel and Jose did an incredible job on our hardwood floors, improving their appearance beyond our expectations! Thank you for the fantastic work. The wood looks brand new, even better than we imagined.Posted on Maria Romero13 December 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Daniel and the Dustless Hardwood Floors team transformed our wood floors beyond our expectations! His exceptional craftsmanship during the sanding process revealed the beauty of the wood grain, and his attention to detail was impeccable. Daniel listened to our vision, offered thoughtful suggestions, and delivered a stunning, flawless surface that revitalized our living space. We wholeheartedly recommend him for any flooring project—his expertise and professionalism made all the difference!Posted on Lisa Lopez13 December 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am currently in the midst of relocating to a new home and needed professional assistance with resurfacing the hardwood floors. In our discussions, Daniel explained that many homeowners often opt for Murphy Oil Soap in their quest for a shiny, polished finish. However, he pointed out that the specific floor in my new home already had a layer of wax, which complicated the process. He took the time to carefully outline the meticulous steps required for properly maintaining and rejuvenating hardwood floors, emphasizing that merely applying oil wouldn’t yield the desired results. After weighing our options, we agreed on a comprehensive approach: sanding down the existing finish to remove the worn-out wax and imperfections, followed by the application of a fresh coat of protective finish. This method would not only restore the floors to their original beauty but also ensure their longevity. I’m thrilled to report that the results were absolutely stunning! The entire job was completed with a dustless sanding system, leaving no traces of dust in the home, which was a considerable relief. I am beyond happy with how the floors turned out; they look incredible and have truly transformed the space!Posted on Milton Cortes13 December 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had the pleasure of working with Daniel from Dustless, who did an outstanding job sanding our wood floors. Previously, we hired another local contractor to sand them, but unfortunately, they did not perform the job correctly. They left remnants of the old finish on the hardwood, which resulted in unsightly bubbles and an uneven surface. Daniel expertly addressed these issues, ensuring that every inch of the floor was properly sanded down to a smooth, flawless finish. We couldn't be happier with the transformation he achieved!Posted on Alexander Boria17 November 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend, I have been using Danny and Dustless Hardwood Floors LLC for years for all my properties, my investment projects, and referral to my clients. Danny is professional, communicates effectively and transparently, and also takes great pride in his work and one of the best floor contractors I have work with.

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.
How long does the refinishing process take?
Most projects take 2 to 4 days, depending on the size of the area, drying times between coats, and whether you choose staining.
What do I need to do to prepare my home?
Remove all furniture, rugs, and wall décor from the work area. Clear pathways for equipment and technicians to ensure an efficient process.
Will there be a lot of dust?
No. We use dustless sanding systems that capture over 95% of dust before it spreads through your home.
How long until I can walk on my floors?
You can usually walk on floors after 24 hours with socks, but we recommend waiting the full 48–72 hours before wearing shoes.
How long until I can move furniture back?
Allow at least 72 hours before moving furniture and one week before placing rugs to ensure the finish has cured properly.
Can you match my existing stain color?
Yes. We can closely match most stain shades using custom color blending and on-site samples before full application.
Is the process safe for pets and children?
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.
What about fumes from the finishes?
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.
How often should hardwood floors be refinished?
Most floors need refinishing every 7–10 years, depending on foot traffic, pets, and how well they’re maintained.
How do I care for my newly refinished floors?
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.
