Dustless Floor Refinishing

The sander connects to a vacuum that pulls the dust into sealed bags. Shelves, curtains and the TV stay clean.

3 to 5 Day Refinishing

A house under 1,500 Sq Ft usually takes 3 days without stain and 4 with it, plus a spare day when the air is damp. You can walk on it in socks after a day, and furniture returns after two.

Hardwood Floor Repair

Where a board is warped by a leak or chewed by a dog, we cut it out and set a new one from $150, then sand it level with the rest.

One Year Refinish Warranty

Labor carries a year of warranty. Half the sanding price is due when we begin and the other half after the last coat.

/ STAIN COLORS AND FINISHES

Hardwood Floor Stain Colors

A south window on Westminster Road bleaches a floor, while a shaded porch room near Canterbury Center stays dark, so one stain looks different from house to house. We test swatches in place.

A clear coat with no color keeps oak light and plain, a calm look for a small cape.

/ OUR SERVICES

Hardwood Floor Refinishers in Canterbury

We spend our weeks in Canterbury farmhouses, capes on Library Road, ranches near Route 169 and colonials around the Green. Pine and oak here have seen boots, firewood and generations of dinners. Each room is taken to bare wood, cleaned, then stained and sealed.

Refinish Your Floors Next Day

Canterbury homeowners ask whether a dated orange floor can change, how long the kitchen is closed and where the dog should wait.

What does refinishing cost in Canterbury?

The flat rate is $2.50/Sq Ft for sanding, one stain color and three coats of poly. A floor that is merely dull may only need a $1.00/Sq Ft screen and recoat.

Can an orange floor go brown or gray?

Yes. With the old finish gone, bare oak takes brown, walnut or a cooler gray tone, and we test the color on your own boards first.

How long is the kitchen out of use?

Under 1,500 Sq Ft that is 3 or 4 days, with a spare day built in. Stocking feet can walk it after 24 hours, and the sofa returns at 48.

Where should the dog stay?

Send the dog to the yard or shut it in another room while we are sanding. Paws are welcome on the new finish after 24 hours.

Will sanding fill the house with dust?

No. The machines draw dust into sealed bags as they run, and the crew vacuums before any stain goes on.

Do I need to be home all day?

Not really. Leave a key with a neighbor or in a lockbox, since the crew must come in each day until the last coat dries.

What do stairs cost?

Refinishing is $50 per step, treads hand sanded and stained to match. Risers are not part of that price.

Is a deposit required?

No. Half is due once sanding starts and half after the final coat, and nothing is charged to hold a date.
