Question 1

Can my old floors be saved, or do they need replacing?

Accepted Answer

Nearly always saved. Sanding takes the floor back to raw wood, so the gray, the scratches and the old finish all come off together. Mike will look at the boards and tell you straight if any of them have to come out first.

Question 2

How long does a refinish take?

Accepted Answer

A few days for most houses. Sanding is the first day, the stain goes on after that, and then the finish coats with drying time between them. You get the dates for your rooms before we start.

Question 3

Will sanding fill the house with dust?

Accepted Answer

No. The machines run on vacuums, so the dust goes into the bag instead of onto your furniture. There is always a little fine dust left over, and we clean that up.

Question 4

Why not just paint the garage floor?

Accepted Answer

Floor paint sits on the surface, so hot tires lift it off in sheets. Epoxy goes down after the slab is diamond ground, which opens the concrete up so the resin locks into it. That prep is why one lasts and one does not.

Question 5

Do you work on commercial floors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Gymnasiums, roller rinks, offices, warehouses and shop floors. We section the work and schedule it around your opening hours so you are not closed for a week.
