Services
Hardwood Floor Refinishing
Our refinishing process restores worn floors to like-new condition through multi-step sanding, stain application, and premium finish coatings. Using dustless technology and professional-grade equipment, we ensure minimal mess and maximum durability. Each project includes thorough preparation, precise stain color matching, and a final protective finish tailored to your lifestyle needs.
Dustless Sanding
Our proprietary dustless system captures 98% of airborne particles using industrial vacuums connected to all sanding equipment. This three-phase process includes containment during sanding, post-sanding surface cleaning, and a complimentary professional home cleaning after project completion. Ideal for homes with allergies or sensitive environments.
Floor Repairs
We specialize in repairing damaged areas using vintage wood matching for seamless blending. Techniques include staggered butt-end installation, subfloor adhesive application, and creative feature strip integration. Repairs address pet stains, water damage, gaps, and structural issues while maintaining floor integrity.
Staining Services
Our staining process includes sample testing, planetary sanding, and water-popping for even absorption. We offer custom color matching with multiple stain options, ensuring uniformity while preserving natural wood characteristics. Professional application guarantees streak-free, long-lasting results.
Floor Installation
We install premium unfinished hardwood from trusted suppliers using proper acclimation and subfloor preparation. Services include header transitions, flush vents, and stair nosing with tongue-and-groove construction. Each installation uses industrial adhesives and splines for lasting durability.

My house is from 1916 and had the original wood floor hidden underneath a horrendous carpet that had been in the house since the late 1980's in one room. My wife and I were told it was due to lots of damage. And carpet glue was used to put it down instead of staples. We hired Jim to do our floors and after I tore up the carpet and saw the amount of glue I was nervous as it basically hid any signes of damage. Jim came and sanded it down and it looked great already.
There was one area needing replacement but only because an old vent hole was filled in using a 2x4 but no other damage. He replaced the wood and stained and finished everything very quickly and it looks fantastic. He was quick and professional the whole time. The floors look great. He even was able to match the old stain in the adjoining room so well I can barely even see a difference at the point where the floors meet up. Great Work! I highly recommend hiring them! Photos attached are with carpet being torn up, after sanding, and when its all done.

Wow! I don't know if I have ever worked with a more professional, skilled craftsman. Jim was upfront with every aspect of our project, refinishing existing hardwood while adding two new areas of flooring. Like all remodeling projects there where a few surprises. Jim had a wonderful solution for each surprise. My "five-star" rating would be a six! He and his assistant exceeded our high expectations.

Jim and his crew were exceptional! The work they did to restore our 117 year old maple floors was incredible and our floors look impeccable. I was worried that our entire house would be filled with dust from sanding but when they say "dust free sanding" they mean it! Not only are our floors beautiful, Jim and his crew were a delight to work with. They were polite, tidy, and very detailed. We will definitely be using them again when we tackle other rooms.

Jim was very helpful and friendly. He explained things really well when I had questions. Jim and his employee Ben did a great job of keeping me updated as they completed the project. They refinished and repaired hardwood floors original to the house I purchased and I could not be happier with the results. If your looking to restore your old floors, these guys are the ones to call.

Jim just completed our floor yesterday. We were so impressed with how well it turned out. We have a parquet floor from 1975 and it had some wear outside of where we had the rug. He sanded it all down and put on a stain that looked similar but more brown. The floor looks so wonderful and somewhat updated because he put a satin finish on it and it had a glossy finish before. I was impressed with Jim's communication and professionalism.
The job was also completed with no mess at all. We just had new carpet put in and I'm not sure how they kept everything so clean. He is also a great guy! We would highly recommend Jim to do anyone's floors. Dave and Berta Schmidt
