Sacramento Hardwood Restoration

Refinish.
Restore.
Renew.

Tired Sacramento hardwood doesn’t need to be replaced, it needs to be restored. Dustless sanding, custom stain matching, and premium polyurethane finishes bring a worn floor back to a finish that looks newer than the day it was first installed.

Common Questions

Restoration FAQ

Sacramento homeowners ask the same set of questions when their hardwood needs work. Here’s how our team answers them.

Talk to a Specialist
How long does a full hardwood restoration take in a Sacramento home?+
Most single-family restorations take 4–7 days from sanding through final-coat cure. Dustless sanding means no respirator zones, and water-based poly is walkable in stocking feet within hours of application. The home is livable throughout.
Will the dust ruin my home?+
No. Our dustless sanding systems capture 99%+ of airborne particulate at the source. We tape off HVAC returns, run HEPA air scrubbers, and most Sacramento clients report less dust than from cooking dinner.
Can my floor be saved or do I need a full replacement?+
Most floors can be saved. Solid hardwood can typically be refinished 4–8 times over its lifetime. Engineered hardwood with a 3mm+ wear layer can usually be refinished 1–3 times. We measure remaining thickness during the free consultation.
What’s the difference between oil-based and water-based polyurethane?+
Oil-based amber-tones the wood slightly, takes 24+ hours between coats, and has strong odor. Water-based dries clear, recoats in 2–4 hours, has minimal odor. We use water-based for occupied homes; oil-based when amber warmth is wanted on white oak or maple.
Can you match the stain of an adjacent room?+
Yes, we pull a small sample from the existing floor, test it in our shop, and finish 3–5 sample boards in your actual room light to verify the match before committing the full floor.
What’s included in each restoration tier?+
Refresh is a screen-and-recoat for a light revival. Restore is the full HEPA dustless 3-pass sand with custom stain and three coats of premium poly. Revive includes everything in Restore plus plank replacement, weave-in repairs, and specialty finishes like hardwax oil.
Do you work on engineered hardwood?+
Yes, when the wear layer is thick enough. We measure the existing wear-layer thickness during the consultation and tell you whether refinishing is viable or if a partial replacement is the better call.
