Our process →BEFORE YOU REPLACE IT
The character is there.
Let’s bring it forward.
Scratches, fading and dull spots can hide the character of your wood. Refinishing may bring it back, depending on the floor's condition.
We look at the wood, previous sanding and areas that need repair before recommending a path forward. If installation makes more sense, we'll explain that option too.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Hardwood refinishing.
Your questions.
Have something else in mind?
Call (412) 992-9732
Can my hardwood be refinished?
That depends on the type and thickness of the wood, prior sanding and existing damage. We assess your floor before recommending refinishing or replacement.
How much will my project cost?
Pricing depends on the area, condition, repairs and finish selected. Share the details using the form so we can discuss an estimate for your project.
Can I change the color of my hardwood floor?
Sanding removes the existing surface finish so we can discuss a new stain color or a natural look. The wood species and condition affect the result. Ask about checking the color on your wood before choosing the finish.
Do you work with contractors and builders?
We welcome sanding, staining and finishing inquiries for renovation and construction projects. Share your floor area, wood type, specifications and schedule. See our trade project information.
How long will it take?
The scope of repairs, floor area and chosen finish affect the schedule. We'll discuss the work, drying time and when you can use the room before the project starts.
Do you install new hardwood too?
Yes. We offer hardwood installation as well as refinishing and repairs. Select installation in the estimate form to tell us what you have in mind.
Do you offer luxury vinyl and garage coatings?
Yes. We install LVP and LVT flooring, and offer epoxy and polyaspartic flake garage coatings. Select your service in the form so we can discuss your project.
