Dustless Floor Refinishing
Dust from our sanders travels down a hose into sealed bags instead of settling on the mantel, and the crew blows down trim and walls before any stain.

Hardwood Floor Refinishing Cost

Hardwood Floor Resanding
Resanding removes the amber poly, the chair scrapes and the gray path worn from the back door to the stove in an Ivoryton cottage.

One Year Refinish Warranty
Our Essex refinishing labor carries a one year warranty, done by a licensed, insured and NWFA certified crew. The first half of the bill is paid as sanding begins and the second half when the final coat dries.
/ STAIN COLORS AND FINISHES
Hardwood Floor Stain Colors
A room facing the harbor reads a stain two shades lighter than a shaded farmhouse under the maples on Plains Road, so we test colors on your floor first.
Natural Hardwood Floors
Clear coats alone keep the oak pale and airy in the small cottages of Ivoryton.
Special Walnut Stain
A medium brown that forgives dog hair and sandy feet in the family homes along Bokum Road.
Provincial Stain
A cool gray brown that takes the orange out of red oak in the raised ranches up Ingham Hill Road.
Early American Stain
A golden tone with a touch of red, suited to the Federal and sea captain houses on North Main Street.
Dark Walnut Stain
Deep walnut that shows every grain line, handsome under the table in a Pratt Street dining room.
Jacobean Stain
Almost black and sleek, a modern choice for a gutted Comstock Avenue cottage, though pet hair shows sooner.
/ OUR SERVICES
Hardwood Floor Refinishers in Essex
Federal houses on North Main Street and Pratt Street, farmhouses in Centerbrook, factory cottages on Comstock Avenue and newer homes on Kelsey Hill Road fill our calendar. That oak has carried boat shoes, dogs and holiday dinners. Each room is taken down to raw wood, vacuumed, colored and sealed under three coats.

When a Centerbrook floor is too thin to sand again, we install new hardwood, vinyl plank or laminate, replace broken boards and refinish the stairs.

Refinish Your Floors Next Day
Essex homeowners ask whether an antique Centerbrook floor can take one more sanding, how long the kitchen is closed and when the dog can come back inside.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does it cost to refinish floors in Essex?
A flat $2.50/Sq Ft, which pays for the sanding, a coat of stain and three coats of polyurethane. If the Essex floor is just dull rather than worn, a $1.00/Sq Ft screen and recoat may be all it needs.
Can an antique Centerbrook floor be sanded one more time?
Often yes, and we measure the board thickness at the estimate before saying so. If too little wood remains, we steer you to a recoat or a new floor.
How long will the kitchen be closed?
Three days for a natural finish and four with stain on jobs under 1,500 Sq Ft, with a buffer day for humid weather. Socks are fine after 24 hours, and the dining table returns at 48.
What about the dog during sanding?
During work hours the dog belongs in the yard or shut in a room we have finished. Paws can walk on the new finish after 24 hours, and trimmed nails help.
Will there be dust on everything?
No, the sanders pull dust straight into sealed bags. Afterward the crew blows off walls and trim and vacuums before any stain goes down.
Do I need to be home all week?
No. Leave a key in a lockbox or with a neighbor, since the crew needs to get in each day until the final coat is dry.
What is the price for refinishing the stairs?
Each step is $50 with stain, hand sanded to tie into the upstairs hall. Risers are not included in that per step price.
Do you need a deposit?
No. Half is paid the morning the sanding starts and the other half once the last coat is down.
