Equipment & Process

German Engineering.
Nearly Dustless.

We sand with Lagler — the German-engineered equipment the industry's best floors are sanded on. Our process is meticulously detailed and nearly dustless, with high-efficiency dust collection that means little to no cleanup for our clients.

The result: a flatter, finer sand than rental-grade equipment can produce — which is what lets the finish coats bond, perform, and protect your floors for years to come. A beautiful, long-lasting floor starts with a quality sand job.

We've refinished floors from the 1800s. Solid wood is so incredibly resilient that it's very rare we come across a floor that can't be brought back.

Can you match my existing stain color?

Yes. John specializes in custom stain matching and has extensive experience blending new and existing floors seamlessly.

Do I need to move out during refinishing?

It's recommended but not always required. Oil-based finishes require more ventilation time. We'll advise you based on the specific products used for your project.
