Dustless Floor Refinishing

On an island every speck counts, so a hose on each sander feeds dust into a sealed bag. We blow walls and ceiling, then vacuum the rooms.

3 to 5 Day Refinishing

Under 1,500 Sq Ft, a clear floor takes 3 days and a stained floor 4, plus one day for island fog. Walk at 24 hours, rugs at 48.

Hardwood Floor Repair

Boards soaked by wet towels and swimsuits or a dripping outdoor shower get replaced from $150, blended into the floor.

One Year Refinish Warranty

Every job comes with a year on labor from licensed, insured and NWFA certified people. Half the first day, the rest when we finish.

/ STAIN COLORS AND FINISHES

Hardwood Floor Stain Colors

Fog in the morning and hard sun off the water by noon change how stain reads out here, so a paper sample is close to useless. We brush test colors on sanded oak to watch all day.

/ OUR SERVICES

Hardwood Floor Refinishers in New Shoreham

Most floors we refinish on Block Island are oak in shingled cottages along Corn Neck Road, Victorian inns near Old Harbor and summer homes around Great Salt Pond, and all of them have been worn by sand, salt and full summers. Each one is sanded bare and cleaned well before stain and poly.

Refinish Your Floors Next Day

Up Corn Neck Road and around Old Harbor, owners ask if the work can be done before the season, what salt does to a new finish and when rooms can open again.

What does refinishing hardwood cost in New Shoreham?

It is a flat rate of $2.50/Sq Ft that covers sanding, your stain and three coats of poly. A floor that looks dull may only need a $1.00/Sq Ft screen and recoat.

When should we book before the summer season?

Late fall to early spring is ideal, while inns and rentals sit empty. Under 1,500 Sq Ft a job needs 3 to 4 days and a spare day, so reach out early.

How does a new finish hold up to salt air?

Very well once it cures. While the coats dry we ask that the windows stay closed, since damp air slows curing. After that the finish handles salt air just fine.

Can you fix boards blackened by wet towels?

Yes. Black spots mean the water soaked in deep, so we lift those boards and lace in fresh ones from $150 each. After sanding and stain, you will not see the patch.

What finish works well in an island cottage?

Most owners lean toward Bona water based, which stays clear and pale, close to weathered wood. Oil based turns amber with time, at the same price.

We are not on the island all year. Can you still do it?

Of course. Many owners live on the mainland and mail us a spare key or send the lock code. We just need daily entry until the poly work is finished.

What do cottage stairs cost to refinish?

Each step is $50 with the stain included. Each tread is hand sanded to blend in with the landing above the last step. Risers are not included.

How is payment handled?

It is split in half, no deposit. Half is paid on our first sanding morning, and the remainder once the last poly coat is on, long before the summer rush.
