Hardwood Floor Services
Hardwood floors get several kinds of work, and the names overlap in ways that can make a quote hard to read. The pages below take them one at a time. Start with the refinishing page for the whole sequence, from the first sanding cut to the last coat. The others go deeper on one part of it.
Not sure which kind of work a floor needs? The National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) describes a maintenance coat for a finish that is dull but sound, and a complete sand and refinish for deep scratches, dents or a finish that has worn away to bare wood (NWFA, as of 2026). The pages below explain the difference. A quote request can also be sent with the reason left as "Other / not sure."
