Sanding & Refinishing

Every floor wears out during the years. Its longevity depends on the traffic and the quality of materials used to polyurethane the floor.

When the time comes to refinish the floor, our experts will help you to decide what type of refinish needs to be done.

Safe and Easy Sanding

A refinish process starts with the sanding of the wood; the depth of the sanding will be determined by the depth of the scratches in the wood.

We use only the latest sanding equipment that uses the "Less Dust" process. And, of course, we will cover all of your furniture and valuables with dust covers to ensure their safety.

Once the wood is cleaned of all scratches and stripped of old polyurethane, the natural color of the wood can be left or you can add color by staining the wood. After choosing your color, the next step is to seal the wood with wood sealer as a primer layer.

Another Coat for Better Protection

When the sealer is dry it will be buffed to achieve a smooth surface. The last stage is to coat the floor with polyurethane keep in mind that the more coats you apply, the better protection you will have and the longer it will last.

Two types of polyurethane exist today in the market: oil base polyurethane and water base polyurethane. Both have about the same strength and durability, with the water base polyurethane having a slight advantage as a "non yellowing material" over the years. Water base is also non-toxic and non-flammable.

Smooth Surface

Every coat that dries will be buffed again to smooth the surface. Both polyurethane types come with different degrees of shine: Satin Finish (lowest), Semi Gloss (medium), and High Gloss (highest).
