Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about hardwood floor sanding & refinishing.

How long does hardwood floor refinishing take? ▼

Most residential projects (1,000 – 1,500 sq ft) take 3 to 5 business days from initial sanding to final polyurethane cure. Screen & recoat maintenance projects can often be completed in a single day.

Is dustless sanding really 99% dust-free? ▼

Yes! Our heavy sanding machines attach directly to high-volume commercial HEPA vacuum systems. Dust is trapped and exhausted into containment tanks outside or sealed units, preventing wood dust from coating your HVAC ducts, furniture, or walls.

Should I choose water-based or oil-based polyurethane? ▼

Water-based polyurethane cures faster (walkable in 24 hours), stays clear without ambering over time, and has very low odor/VOCs. Oil-based finishes provide a warm amber glow and excellent durability. We guide you to the exact best match for your lifestyle and pet needs.

Can damaged wood floors with pet stains or water spots be repaired? ▼

Absolutely. We remove individual damaged wood planks and weave in matching wood species before sanding, making the patch seamless and completely undetectable after staining.
