Frequently Asked Questions

Several indicators suggest it's time for professional refinishing: visible scratches that catch your fingernail when you run it across the surface, water stains or dark spots that won't clean away, areas where the finish has worn through exposing raw wood, squeaking or loose boards, and an overall dull appearance despite regular cleaning. Minor surface scratches can often be addressed with a screen and recoat, while deeper damage typically requires full sanding and refinishing.

Yes, we provide several environmentally conscious finishing solutions including low-VOC and zero-VOC polyurethane finishes, natural oil-based treatments, and water-based products that meet strict environmental standards. These options reduce indoor air pollution, dry with minimal odor, and are safer for families with children, pets, or individuals with chemical sensitivities. We'll discuss the environmental benefits and performance characteristics of each eco-friendly option during your consultation.

Absolutely. Our craftsmen are skilled at color matching and can recreate existing stain colors to ensure seamless transitions between refinished and existing areas. We maintain an extensive library of stain samples and can create custom blends when necessary. However, we recommend refinishing connecting spaces simultaneously when possible, as wood naturally changes color over time, and perfect matches can be challenging even with expert color matching techniques.

Our comprehensive service includes thorough room preparation, professional-grade sanding with progressively finer grits, detailed edge work and hand-sanding in tight areas, wood filler application for nail holes and minor gaps, custom stain application if desired, multiple protective finish coats, and complete cleanup of all work areas. We also inspect and address minor floor repairs, replace severely damaged boards when necessary, and provide maintenance recommendations to preserve your newly refinished floors.

While floors may feel dry to the touch within 24-48 hours, we recommend waiting a full week before placing furniture back to ensure the finish has properly cured. When you do move furniture back, use felt pads under all legs and avoid dragging items across the surface. Heavy furniture like pianos or large entertainment centers should wait 2-3 weeks before placement. We provide furniture pads and detailed care instructions to help protect your investment from the moment you start using your floors again.
