Restore the Natural Beauty of Your Hardwood Floors
Hardwood Floor Refinishing in Cleveland OH
When your hardwood floors are scratched or damaged beyond what our sandless refinishing process can handle, we recommend our complete sanding and refinishing process. Although completely replacing your hardwood is always an option, it's generally quite expensive. Instead, sanding and refinishing are a more cost-effective solution.

Common Signs Your Hardwood Floors Need Refinishing
Hardwood floors are a beautiful and enduring addition to any home, but they may begin to show signs of wear and tear over time. Knowing when your wood floors need repair or refinishing can help preserve their elegance and extend their lifespan. Here are some common indicators that it's time to consider refinishing your hardwood flooring:
- Visible Scratches and Dents: Daily use can result in scratches or dents on the surface, making refinishing hardwood floors necessary to restore their smooth appearance.
- Discoloration and Fading: Prolonged exposure to sunlight or moisture can cause your flooring to fade or become discolored, indicating the need for a refinishing project.
- Water Damage: Stains, warping, or cupping from water exposure signify that the wood floors require attention, potentially involving floor repair or complete refinishing.
- Worn Finish: If the protective finish has worn off and bare wood is exposed, your floors will be more susceptible to damage and may need refinishing.
- Splintering Wood: Splintered or cracked planks affect the aesthetic and pose a risk for injury, making floor installation or repair essential.
The Benefits of Hardwood Floor Refinishing
Refinishing your hardwood floors involves sanding down the top layer of wood to remove any scratches, stains, or imperfections. This process also removes any old finishes and exposes the raw wood underneath. After sanding, the floors are stained and sealed to create a beautiful and protective finish. The result is a like-new appearance that can add value and beauty to your home.
Restore the Natural Beauty of Your Hardwood Floors
Refinishing restores your hardwood floors' natural grain and shine, bringing out their original beauty and making them the centerpiece of your home.
Extend the Lifespan of Your Flooring
Refinishing can extend the life of your hardwood floors by addressing surface damage. This preventative measure helps maintain the integrity of your flooring for the long term.
Cost-Effective Solution
Refinishing is a more affordable option than completely replacing your hardwood floors. It can also be done faster, causing less disruption to your home.
Customizable Options
With refinishing, you can choose from various stain colors and finishes to create a look that best suits your style and preferences.

Our Proven Refinishing Process
1. Preparation
We take every possible precaution to return your home to its condition before we started. We hang plastic over cabinets and doorways to help contain any dust our machines don't collect.
2. Sanding
Next, we sand the floor using a 3-step sanding progression of rough, medium, and fine-grit sandpaper. We will never use rough grit paper when it's not needed just to get the job done faster; this eats away at the life of your floor. We even have special sanders that can sand under radiators, cabinets, and other tight spaces.
3. Buffing
After sanding, we buff the floor with a two-step process. This smooths out the floor and blends all the areas. Our first buffing is done with fine-grit sandpaper; then, to get the floor extra smooth, we use an even finer-grit sanding screen and buff again.
4. Corners
We still use the old hand-scraping method in the corners of rooms and other tight spaces. This effort ensures we can blend the corners perfectly with the rest of the floor.
5. Cleaning
After completing the sanding, buffing, and scraping, we clean thoroughly. This process includes vacuuming floors, walls, counters, and more. A clean working area allows us to get the best possible finish on the floor.
6. Staining
If you opt to change your floor's color, this is the step where we add the new stain. We use a water treatment before all stain jobs, as it opens the wood's pores to get the richest, most even stain color possible. If you want the natural beauty of the floors to shine through, we skip this step and move on to the finishing step.
7. Finishing
After the staining, we apply the first coat of finish. You choose the type of finish coating (oil, water, or rubio monocot) and the sheen level (matte, satin, semi-gloss, and gloss). After the finish has dried completely, we buff the floors. This extra step will buff out any debris that may have gotten into the finish and help us get the smoothest floor possible.
8. Final Coat
After we have stained your floor, added one coat of finish, buffing and vacuuming between each coat, we apply the final finish coating. Using a total of three coatings produces a floor that will last for years to come.
