Dustless Floor Refinishing
Sanding dust is pulled through a hose into a sealed bag, so it stays off the furniture and the kitchen counters. We finish by blowing down walls and ceilings.

A room under 1,500 Sq Ft takes about 3 days clear or 4 with stain, plus a cushion day when it is damp by the sea. Socks after 24 hours, furniture after 48.
A board warped by a leaking window or marked by a dropped anchor chain gets replaced from $150, then sanded flush with the room.
Labor is warranted for a full year, and the crew is licensed, insured and NWFA certified. Half is paid at the start and the rest when the last coat is down.

A clear coat with no color leaves oak pale and airy in the little beach cottages near Short Beach.

A mid brown hides sand and pet hair on the busy floors of a year-round family house.

A cool gray brown cancels the orange cast of old red oak in a bright room facing the sea.

A golden tone with a hint of red belongs in the Victorian summer houses on Big Nahant.

Deep walnut shows off every grain line under a dining table in an older home near Nahant Road.

A near black ebony finish looks sharp in a remodeled house at East Point, though dust and pet hair show up faster.



The flat rate is $2.50/Sq Ft and covers the sanding, a coat of stain and three coats of poly. If the oak is only dull, a $1.00/Sq Ft screen and recoat may be enough.
Yes. After the old finish is sanded off, the oak accepts brown, walnut or a cooler tone, and we test swatches on your own boards first.
In under 1,500 Sq Ft figure 3 days without stain or 4 with it, plus a buffer in humid weather. Walk in socks after a day and bring the furniture back after two.
Outside or behind a shut door. Paws can touch the new finish after 24 hours, and trimmed nails protect it.
No. The sanders feed into sealed bags, and the crew vacuums and wipes the surfaces before any stain goes on.
You do not. Leave a key with a neighbor or in a lockbox, since the crew has to come in each day until the finish is down.
Fifty dollars a step with stain, hand sanded to blend with the floor above. Risers are not part of that figure.
Nothing to reserve a date. Half is due when sanding begins and the other half when the final coat is on.
