02 / The premium refinishing process

Nineteen steps, written down.

03 / Finishes and options

Pick the finish, not the compromise.

Low VOC and plant based finishes are available on any job, including homes with kids, pets or a sensitivity to fumes.

Wire brushed and hand-scraped

Texture worked into the boards by hand so the grain reads as character, not as damage.

Rough cuts, filler and repairs

Split boards, gaps and old repairs handled before a single drop of finish goes down.

Bona 2K Oil and custom stains

Performance, versatility and design in one system, matched to the tone you actually want.

Custom stairs and site finishing

Treads, risers and landings finished on site so they match the floor they run into.

Dustless sanding

Available on every refinishing job, so you are not cleaning sanding dust off your kitchen for a week.

Rubio Monocoat, 0% VOC

Plant based hardwax oil, plus Bona Traffic HD and other low VOC waterbased finishes.

Seventeen thousand dollars of machine.

Better machines take off less of your floor. That matters, because a hardwood floor can only be sanded so many times before it runs out of wood.
