Hardwood Floor Refinishing
Our refinishing process removes surface damage while preserving the wood's integrity. Using multi-step sanding and premium finishes, we restore luster to aged floors. Customers appreciate our dust containment systems and ability to match existing stains while enhancing durability.
Historical Floor Preservation
Specialized techniques maintain original character in historic homes. We carefully repair water damage, restore antique finishes, and replicate period-appropriate patterns. Our work on 18th-19th century properties demonstrates deep respect for historical accuracy and craftsmanship traditions.
Eco-Friendly Floor Solutions
We offer low-VOC polyurethane and Waterlox tung oil finishes that protect both floors and indoor air quality. These environmentally responsible options provide durable protection while maintaining natural wood aesthetics. Customers receive detailed care instructions for long-term maintenance.
Dust Containment Systems
Our Oneida Air System captures 99% of dust particles during sanding. HEPA filters ensure clean air for occupants and protect furnishings. This technology allows floor work in occupied homes without extensive cleanup, making the process more convenient for clients.
Decorative Concrete Overlays
Transform concrete surfaces into custom designs mimicking hardwood or stone. We apply colored overlays with textured finishes that withstand heavy traffic. This cost-effective solution offers creative possibilities for both residential and commercial spaces while maintaining durability.
