Step 1
Prepare the rooms, repairs and set-up
Before the hum of floor sanding begins, meticulous preparation is crucial for a flawless outcome. Our team diligently ensures that every nail is hammered down and all necessary wood flooring repairs are comprehensively addressed. Employing cutting-edge dustless floor sanding technology, we maintain a pristine work environment. This involves thoroughly sweeping and vacuuming to perfectly prepare the stage. With the groundwork laid, we stand ready to transform homes, guaranteeing a revival of elegance and allure. This is our commitment to excellence at every step of the process.
Step 2
Sanding off the existing old finish
Once the hardwood flooring is prepped, the sanding begins. We use specialized sanding equipment like belt sanders and edgers. Different sandpaper grits are used depending on the condition and type of hardwood floor. The goal is to remove the existing finish and take the hardwood floor back to bare wood.
Step 3
Detailed fine sanding and filler
Once the floor is sanded down to its bare essence, the art of fine sanding begins. Our skilled professionals meticulously work to remove the coarse markings left by the initial sanding, employing progressively finer grit sandpaper with each pass. The aim is to achieve a surface that's not just smooth, but exquisitely refined. For clients who have entrusted us with new wood flooring installations, this stage is also critical. Here, we seamlessly integrate putty filling, ensuring a flawless finish and enduring quality that stands the test of time.
Step 4
Finishing touches and clean up
Once the hardwood floor sanding with the machines is complete, the final touches are done by hand. We use hand scrapers to reach the areas under radiators, along the trim and in corners that the sanders can’t reach. These areas are then hand sanded to match the final grit from the sanders. Then there’s lots of vacuuming and clean-up to get ready for the next step.
Step 5
Staining the floor a different color (Optional)
If you want to change the color of your wood floor, this is the stage where we apply pre-color treatments or stain to achive the desired look of your floors, or you can just simply keep it natural.
Step 6
Applying the finish coats
It’s time to apply the finish. The number of coats and time this will take will depend on the finish system you decide on. Multi-coat finishes need to have the hardwood floor abraded between coats. Then they are carefully tacked and vacuumed to remove any debris, ensuring a contaminant-free surface.
