How long will it take to complete my project?

Most jobs take about one week from start to finish, but we’ll be able to give you an accurate estimate for your specific project once we determine the scope of the work.

Do I need to leave my house during the refinishing process?

We recommend staying out of the house until after the sanding process is complete. We’ll tell you how long it will take so you can make plans to return.

Can I walk on the floors while you’re working?

No. For the job to turn out correctly, you’ll need to stay off of the floors until we’re done.

How soon can I move my rugs and furniture back onto the floor?

It’s important to let the floor dry and cure, so we recommend waiting at least three days to put your furniture back onto the floors and at least one week to put rugs back.

How long will my new floor finish last?

It depends on how well you take care of your floors. With proper care and maintenance, you can expect your floor finish to last up to 10 years. People with kids and pets, especially dogs with longer nails, and those who don’t maintain their floors may need to have them refinished or recoated more often.

Can you help me choose a stain color?

Absolutely. We can show you different stain colors and help you choose the right one for your floor. We’ll even put samples on the floor so you can see which colors work best with your interior lighting.

Will my floors smell after refinishing?

There is a bit of a smell after refinishing, but it’s not strong and it only lasts a few days. The old oil finishing process used to be very smelly, but the materials we use now are safe to breathe and have less of an odor.

Ezequiel Alvarez: Pushing Forward

By Matt Solis, Editor

Ezequiel Alvarez may have entered the hardwood floor refinishing industry as a novice, but through hard work and dedication, he was quickly able to master the craft. “The way I got involved in this industry was kind of by accident,” he remembers. “In 2004, I told my friend I was interested in working construction and he referred me to a flooring contractor. I started as a helper, but over time, I learned enough to master the trade.”
