Professional heavy-duty drum sanders can be used to make a wood floor sanding project
nearly dust free. The door ways can be sealed by plastic sheet to prevent
dust leak upon request, for a fee. Normally floor is sanded by coarse, medium and fine sand papers
and buffers to ensure that the entire surface gets to be the required smoothness.
For clear finishes, penetrating sanding sealer is applied as an initial first coat.
The stain acts as a sealer and can be used to both seal and stain the floor. For a color-stained floor, the stain will serve as a protective sealer.
Darker stain will take a much longer time to dry than a lighter stain, depending
on humidity level, temperature and air circulation of the area. Normally two
or three coats will be applied after the stain to ensure the best quality.
We offer customer choice of: Oil-based or water-based polyurethane; semi-gloss or
high-gloss finish.
All of our work is guaranteed to follow the guide of the National Wood Flooring Association.
Customer's responsibility: the job site has to be clear with furniture before the
scheduled date.
We can remove carpet at small extra cost. The wood floor can not be walked on during the
refinishing process and at least 28 hours after last coat applied. After 24 hours,
light traffic is allowed. Normal traffic is allowed after 48 - 72 hours. Do not
slide furniture on the refinished wood floor, lift it into place after 48 hours. Area rugs can be
put down after 14 days on water based finishes and 30 days for all other finishes.
Furniture and rugs placed too soon may result in finish or surface damage on the wood floor. Some
area rugs and padding may damage or discolor the wood floor finish. This type of damage as
well as color change due to aging and intense sunlight in not the responsibility
