Dustless Floor Refinishing

Dust travels from the sander through a hose into a sealed bag instead of onto the bookshelves. Before stain, the crew blows down the trim and vacuums the room.

3 to 5 Day Refinishing

Anything under 1,500 Sq Ft takes 3 days unstained and 4 stained, with a spare day held back for heavy valley air. Socks go on it at 24 hours and the couch returns at 48.

Hardwood Floor Repair

When a radiator leak cups a plank or a puppy chews one, that board is swapped from $150 and sanded level, so you cannot find the patch afterward.

One Year Refinish Warranty

Licensed, insured, NWFA certified, and the labor warrantied twelve months. Payment splits in half: the first on the morning sanding starts, the second once the final coat is on.

/ STAIN COLORS AND FINISHES

Hardwood Floor Stain Colors

Afternoon sun off the Connecticut River flats reads one way, and a north facing room under the maples in Amherst Center reads another, so the same can of stain shifts from house to house. We tape off samples before committing.

Farmhouses in North Amherst, faculty colonials near Amherst College, ranches in South Amherst and rentals that turn over every June fill our schedule here. That oak has seen moving day, muddy boots and thirty years of chairs. Every floor goes down to bare wood, then gets cleaned, stained and sealed.

How much is floor refinishing in Amherst?

$2.50/Sq Ft, flat. Sanding, your stain and three coats of polyurethane are all inside that. A floor that is dull but intact may get by with a $1.00/Sq Ft screen and recoat instead.

Can a 1970s ranch floor stop looking orange?

Yes. Sanding removes the amber finish, and a cooler stain such as Jacobean or Provincial takes the red out of the oak. We tape samples on your floor so you choose from real swatches.

How many days is the kitchen off limits?

Three days without stain, four with it, for anything under 1,500 Sq Ft, and a buffer day on top. Socks are fine at 24 hours; the table comes back at 48.

What do we do with the dog?

Keep it in the yard or behind a door while we sand and coat. After 24 hours paws can cross the floor, and trimmed nails help the new finish last.

Is the sanding dusty?

Very little. The machines run into sealed bags, and the crew blows down the walls and vacuums before the stain goes on.

Do I need to take time off work?

No. Hide a key in a lockbox or hand one to a neighbor; the crew comes in on its own each morning until the last coat has gone down.

Can you refinish the stairs at the same time?

Yes, at $50 per step. Each tread is hand sanded and stained to match the upstairs hall. Risers are not in that price.

Is a deposit required?

No. Half is paid once sanding starts, the rest when the final coat goes on. Nothing is owed just to hold a date.
