Restore the Wood.
Redefine the Color.
Professional hardwood sanding, staining and finishing throughout Northern Virginia.
Existing hardwood can have decades of life hidden beneath worn finish, surface scratches and an outdated color. Refinishing allows us to remove the existing surface, expose the natural wood and create an entirely new look without automatically replacing the hardwood.
25+ Years Refinishing Hardwood.
We have spent more than 25 years sanding and finishing hardwood throughout Northern Virginia. Just as important as the finished floor is how we handle the home during the project — from furniture and vent protection through sanding, stain selection, finishing and the final setup.
We Prepare the Home, Not Just the Floor.
A refinishing project takes place inside your home. Before the sanding begins, we prepare the work areas to make the process easier on the homeowner and help protect the surrounding space.
We Move the Furniture
Our team safely moves normal household furniture from the flooring areas included in the project so the hardwood can be properly accessed and refinished.
We Protect the Vents
HVAC vents in the active work areas are closed and protected where appropriate to help reduce the movement of sanding dust through the home.
Protect Adjacent Areas
We prepare surrounding areas and access points before work begins so the refinishing activity stays focused on the flooring areas being completed.
Professional Dust Control
Professional sanding machinery and dust-control equipment are used throughout the sanding process to help capture wood dust at the source.
Clean Before Stain
After sanding, the hardwood is vacuumed and carefully prepared before stain, sealer or finish is applied. A clean surface is an important part of the finishing process.
Furniture Goes Back
After the finish has reached the appropriate stage, we carefully return the furniture and consider floor protection during the final setup.
From Worn Finish to Fresh Hardwood.
A quality finish depends on the preparation underneath it. We work through the floor in stages before the selected stain and finish are applied.
Prepare
Furniture is handled, vents and surrounding areas are prepared, and the hardwood is made ready for sanding.
Sand
The existing finish is removed and the hardwood is progressively sanded toward a clean, consistent surface.
Sample & Stain
Stain options are compared on the prepared hardwood before the final color is selected and applied.
Finish
The selected finishing system is applied and given the appropriate drying and cure time.
See What's Under the Old Finish.
Once the previous finish and surface wear are removed, the natural character of the hardwood becomes visible again. The grain, board variation and natural tone of the wood create the foundation for the new floor color.
Bona DriFast® Stain.
Bona DriFast gives us a broad palette for hardwood refinishing, ranging from lighter natural wood tones through traditional browns, muted contemporary colors and very deep finishes. Bona currently offers 26 base colors, and colors can also be blended for custom results.
We Sample the Stain on Your Floor.
Instead of choosing the final color from a computer screen, we can compare selected stain options on the actual prepared hardwood.
This lets you see the color with your home's lighting, cabinets, wall colors and surrounding finishes before making the final selection.
Sand. Stain. Finish.
The same hardwood can take on a dramatically different appearance as it moves through each stage.
Complete the Surface.
Once the floor has been sanded and the desired color selected, the finishing system creates the final appearance and protective surface.
The Final Coat Is Only Part of the Job.
Professional refinishing is not simply running a sanding machine across the floor. The preparation, sanding sequence, cleaning, stain sampling and finishing system all work together to create the finished result.
That is why we focus on the complete process — from preparing the home through the final setup.
The Details Continue After the Last Coat.
Dry & Cure
The floor is given the appropriate time required by the selected stain and finishing system before normal use is resumed.
Furniture Return
Furniture is carefully returned at the appropriate stage, with floor protection considered during setup.
Final Walkthrough
We review the refinished areas and final details so the completed floor is ready for the next chapter of the home.
