SANDING AND REFINISHING PDF Print E-mail

Sanding and refinishing an older hardwood floor is a very economical way to transform your home into a great indoor.  It normally takes just a couple of days to completely renew your old floor. Our professional crew has many years of experience of sanding, staining and refinishing wood flooring and stair treads.

We use professional heavy-duty drum sanders and edgers, which are 95% dust free. Door ways will be sealed by plastic sheeting to prevent dust leakage and your floor will be sanded by coarse, medium and fine sand papers and buffer to ensure the surface has the required smoothness. All our work follows the guidelines of the National Wood Flooring Association.
