The Work

A floor sanded flat, smooth, and ready for stain and finish.

Sanding is the foundation of every great refinish. It is where the old finish, scratches, and dullness come off and the bare, smooth wood comes back. We work through the grits in sequence, starting coarse to strip the old coating and level the surface, then stepping up through finer grits so the floor ends up truly smooth rather than just knocked down. The main sander handles the open field while edgers and hand work take care of the edges and corners it cannot reach, so the whole floor matches. Done right, sanding is what sets up a flawless stain and finish.

What's Included

What You Get With Sanding

Proper multi-grit sequence

We step through coarse to fine grits in order so the floor is even and smooth, not just stripped.

Edges and corners

Edgers and careful hand work blend the perimeter and corners into the field so there are no missed margins.

Dust containment

We contain and pull dust as we sand, and our dustless setup captures it right at the cutting head.

Ready for stain and finish

We remove every bit of dust so the floor is clean and prepped before any stain or finish goes down.

Why It Matters

Every flaw left in the sanding shows up under the finish, and every grit you skip shows up as scratches. Patient, properly sequenced sanding is the difference between a floor that looks brand new and one that looks rushed.

Hardwood Floor Sanding: Common Questions

Sanding is the first stage of a refinish. A full refinish adds staining and finish coats on top. If your floor only needs to be brought back to bare, even wood, sanding is the core of that work.

We contain the work area and pull dust as we go, and our dustless system captures the vast majority of it at the source so your home stays far cleaner than old-style sanding.

Most solid hardwood can be sanded several times across its life, but it depends on board thickness and how much was removed before. We measure and check before we sand.
