Book Appointment

Step 1
Prepare the Rooms

We start by prepping your home—fixing boards, securing nails, and cleaning with our dustless system for a flawless foundation.

Step 2
Sanding the Old Finish

Old scratches and finish disappear—our sanding reveals the raw beauty of your wood with an ultra-smooth surface, ready for stain.

Step 3
Fine Sanding & Filler

Every mark is erased. We fill gaps and scratches for a seamless, polished look that holds up—even in high-traffic rooms.

Step 4
Final Touches

Details matter. We hand-scrape where machines can’t reach and leave your space spotless for the perfect finish.

Step 5
Staining (Optional)

Choose your look—classic walnut, modern gray, or custom blends. We apply stain evenly for rich, lasting color.

Step 6
Finish Coats

Your finish, your style—matte or glossy. We apply multiple coats for a crystal-clear shield that protects your floors for years.

What our hardwood floor refinishing service includes

Every hardwood floor refinishing project is different, so we tailor the work to your floors. Here are the sanding and resurfacing options, finishes, wood types and repairs we handle for homeowners across Seattle, Bellevue and the Eastside — and how refinishing compares to replacement.

Sanding & resurfacing options

For worn or scratched floors we do a full sand-and-refinish with dustless sanding equipment. If your finish is just dull, a screen-and-recoat or buff-and-recoat refreshes hardwood floors without full sanding — faster and more affordable.

Finishes & stain colors

Pick a low-VOC Bona water-based finish or classic oil-based polyurethane, in a satin, matte or semi-gloss sheen. Want a new look? Custom hardwood floor staining lets you go lighter, darker or warmer before the final coats.

Floors & repairs we handle

We refinish red oak, white oak, maple, fir, engineered hardwood and parquet, plus original wood floors. We also repair deep scratches, pet scratches and water-damaged boards so your sanded-and-refinished floor looks seamless.

Cost & refinish vs. replace

Refinishing typically runs far less than new flooring, so most homeowners refinish rather than replace. We give clear, upfront pricing at your free in-home estimate — no surprises, and a 1-year workmanship warranty on every floor.

Hardwood floor refinishing — FAQ

How much does hardwood floor refinishing cost?

Hardwood floor refinishing cost depends on square footage and condition. As a guide, the cost to refinish hardwood floors per square foot runs about $3 to $5, with repairs or custom stain extra. Every Seattle and Bellevue project gets a written estimate up front.

What is the difference between refinishing and a buff and recoat?

A full sand and refinish removes the old finish down to bare wood; a buff and recoat (screen and recoat) scuffs the existing finish and adds a fresh coat. If your wood is sound and only the finish is worn, a recoat is faster and cheaper.

Can you restore hardwood floors without sanding?

Sometimes — if the floors are structurally sound and only the topcoat is worn, we can restore hardwood floors without a full sand via a screen and recoat. We tell you honestly at the estimate.

Do you repair damaged boards before refinishing?

Yes — hardwood floor refinishing and repair go together. We replace damaged boards and fix water marks and gaps, then sand and finish for a seamless result.

Do you refinish old, original hardwood floors?

Absolutely. Old hardwood floor restoration is one of our specialties — we revive original old-growth oak and fir that newer floors cannot match.

Hardwood Floor Refinishing in Seattle, WA — FAQs

⌄ What is dustless hardwood floor refinishing?

Quick answer: Cleaner, safer sanding.

We use dust-containment systems that capture 95–99% of sanding dust. This keeps your Seattle home cleaner and reduces allergens compared to traditional sanding.

We sand down the surface to remove scratches and stains. For severe pet damage, we can replace individual boards before refinishing to match seamlessly.

Quick answer: 2–4 days.

A typical refinishing project in Seattle takes 2–4 days, including sanding, staining, and drying. Dry times vary by finish type.
