Dustless Floor Refinishing
Dust from the sander travels through a hose straight into sealed bags rather than settling on your bookshelves, and before stain goes down we blow the trim and ceiling clean with compressed air.

A house up to 1,500 Sq Ft needs about three days without stain or four with it, and we leave a buffer day open in humid weeks. Socks on the floor after a day, furniture back after two.
A board swollen under a leaking radiator or gouged by a dog crate is pulled and replaced from $150, then sanded level with the rest.
One year of warranty on the sanding and finishing, done by our licensed, insured, NWFA certified employees. You pay half the first morning and the rest once the final coat is laid.

Clear coats with no color keep the wood pale and bright in the smaller capes near Berlin Town Hall.

Medium brown that disguises dog prints and sneaker marks in the family colonials off Route 62.

A cool, smoky stain that pulls the orange out of the red oak in Nashua Valley split levels.

A golden shade with a hint of red, fitting the nineteenth century houses around Meeting House Common.

Deep walnut that brings out every grain line, a good fit under a long farmhouse table near Barnes Hall.

Nearly black and smooth, a modern pick for a renovated open plan house above the Assabet Valley, though dust shows sooner.



The Berlin rate is $2.50/Sq Ft, covering a complete sanding, your chosen stain and three coats of polyurethane. If the finish is merely tired rather than worn to bare wood, a screen and recoat at $1.00/Sq Ft brings it back for far less.
Usually, yes. Pine is softer than oak, so we sand lightly, fill the gaps where needed and seal it with a finish that resists dents.
Figure three days with a clear coat and four when stain is involved, for a Berlin house under 1,500 Sq Ft, plus one open day in reserve for slow drying weather. Stocking feet are fine once 24 hours have passed, and the furniture slides back in on day two.
Yes. Keep the dog out or behind a closed door during the work, and paws are fine on the finish after 24 hours.
Not much. The sanders exhaust into sealed bags, and before the stain goes on the crew blows down the trim and ceilings and vacuums every room.
No. Hand a key to a neighbor or leave a lockbox on the door. Our Berlin crew comes and goes each day until the final coat of polyurethane is down and curing.
Yes, at $50 per step with stain. We sand every tread by hand so it matches the hallway floor, then stain it; riser work is priced separately from the step rate.
No. Half is owed the first day after sanding begins and the balance when the poly is fully on. Holding a date is free.
