Yes. We do sanding, staining, refinishing, and recoating.

Preparing for Installation
We arrive between 8:00–9:00am. We do a walk-through first to cover all details. For refinishing jobs, we return to apply additional coats.
Yes, please clear the work area of furniture and personal items before we arrive. We offer moving service for an additional fee if needed.
We recommend hiring a plumber to disconnect/reconnect these items. We can move them if needed (additional fee), but we can't be liable for water or gas leaks.
Sanding creates fine dust that can get through barriers. We minimize it as much as possible. Ask about our dustless sanding option — it's much better, especially if you have young children. No method is 100% dust-free.
Timing of Projects
Depends on the project. Typical timeframes:
1–2 days — Laminate (150–350 sq ft/day)
2–3 days — Prefinished hardwood (150–300 sq ft/day)
4–8 days — Install + sand + refinish projects
Each of the three finish coats needs 24 hours to dry before the next one goes on. Companies that claim to do three coats in one day are cutting corners. We don't.
Project Completion
Water-based finish has a mild odor that fades in a few days. Oil-based finish smells stronger and takes longer to air out. You may want to stay elsewhere for a night or two if using oil-based.
Some fine dust may settle on walls or window sills — this is normal with sanding work. You may need to wipe things down or hire a cleaner. If dust settles on wet finish, the floor may feel slightly rough at first but smooths out within a few weeks of use.
Minor scuffs to baseboards or walls can happen when moving equipment. We do our best to avoid this, but be prepared for possible touch-ups. Our bids do not include painting or touch-up work.
