Keep what can be kept.
We look at wear, loose boards and the wood left above the tongue. Some engineered floors and previously sanded boards have too little material for another sanding. We explain the limits before quoting.
Our approach
We begin by
looking closely.
The age of a floor alone does not tell you whether it can be sanded. Its thickness, past repairs and existing finish matter more.
Make the choices in the room.
We measure the work, discuss repairs and prepare stain samples on your floor for sanding projects. You approve the sample before we continue. Recoating gets a small adhesion test first.
Leave a clear way back in.
Dust collection and doorway barriers reduce dust but do not make sanding dust-free. We clean the work area and leave finish care, furniture timing and any remaining limitations in writing. We review the agreed work with you at handoff.
Before the first
working day.
- Empty the rooms, including closets that are part of the work.
- Keep pets and children away from the work and drying areas.
- Plan a route that does not cross the floor or stairs being finished.
- Arrange another place to stay if the work blocks essential rooms.
November & December 2026
Plan backward from the gathering.
We work Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm, in Maple Crossing. The usual furniture allowance is 72 hours after the final coat, and rugs generally wait 7 days. The selected finish and conditions may need longer.
Tell us the date you need the room ready. We confirm the schedule after a visit.
Let’s see what the floor can do.
Approximate room sizes and the current finish are useful starting points.
