Hardwood Floor Refinishing Services

Wood Floor Refinishing (aka Resurfacing): This process is used to revitalize wood floors with severe wear and tear.

• First we sand the wood floors to remove the existing polyurethane or water based finishes.
• We then use 24 grit, 60 grit, & 80 grit paper.
• We buff the floors with 100 grit screen in order to smooth the floors and close the grain.
• Next, we apply 3 coats of oil based polyurethane or 3 coats of water based finish.
• Satin, semi gloss, & high gloss finishes are available.
• We vacuum and buff the floors thoroughly before the application of each polyurethane coat.

Screen & Recoat: This process is used to revitalize wood floors with minor wear and tear.

• We screen the wood floors in order to take off the top coat of polyurethane or water based finish.
