Services
Hardwood Floor Installation
We install domestic and imported hardwood flooring with precision and care. Our team ensures proper acclimation, subfloor preparation, and seamless plank alignment for lasting durability. Using premium materials and advanced techniques, we create beautiful, functional floors that enhance any space while maintaining structural integrity.
Floor Refinishing
Our refinishing services restore worn hardwood floors to like-new condition. We sand surfaces to remove imperfections, apply Bona water-based or oil finishes, and use dust containment systems for cleaner air. This process extends floor lifespan while improving aesthetics with modern stain options and protective coatings.
Water Damage Repair
We specialize in repairing water-damaged hardwood floors through board replacement, drying techniques, and structural reinforcement. Our experts assess damage extent, remove affected materials, and restore floors using matching wood species and finishes to maintain visual consistency throughout your property.
Bona Finish Application
We apply Bona's premium water-based and oil-based finishes that protect hardwood floors while enhancing natural grain patterns. These low-VOC, fast-drying solutions provide durable, scratch-resistant surfaces ideal for high-traffic areas in residential and commercial settings.
Dust Containment Systems
Our dust containment technology captures 99% of airborne particles during sanding processes. This HEPA-filtered system protects indoor air quality, reduces cleanup time, and creates healthier environments for families and businesses during floor refinishing projects.
