FAQ

Hardwood Refinishing Questions

How long does the refinishing process take?
For an average 800 sq ft area, we typically complete the sanding and staining in 2-3 days, with another 24-48 hours of curing time before the floor is fully usable.
Do I need to move out during the project?
Most clients stay home! We seal off the work area and use low-VOC finishes. The smell is minimal and dissipates quickly. You'll just need to avoid the refinished room until cured.
What's the difference between sanding and screening?
Sanding removes the entire finish and a thin layer of wood to remove deep scratches. Screening (recoating) only roughens the existing finish for a fresh coat. We'll recommend the right approach during the visit.
Can I choose a new stain color?
Absolutely! We have 37 premium stain colors in our Stain Gallery. You can see each color on real White Oak, Red Oak, Pine and Maple before deciding.
How much does it cost?
Most refinishing projects range from $2 to $4 per square foot all-inclusive (labor + materials + finish), depending on the size, finish type, and stain selection. Use our calculator above for a ballpark, or request a free on-site estimate for an exact quote.
What's the warranty?
We provide a 1 year warranty on workmanship. With proper care, your refinished floors will look beautiful for 10-15 years before needing another refresh.
