Dustless Floor Refinishing

Our sanders pull dust through a hose into a sealed bag, not onto the TV and counters. A closing air pass clears the trim.

3 to 5 Day Refinishing

Under 1,500 Sq Ft, count on 3 days unstained or 4 with stain, plus a spare day in damp weather. Socks at 24 hours, furniture at 48.

Hardwood Floor Repair

A board swollen by a leaking dishwasher or dented by a woodstove hearth is cut out and replaced from $150, then sanded flush.

One Year Refinish Warranty

Brazil Floors warrants the refinish labor for one year, and the crew is licensed, insured and NWFA certified. Pay half at the start, half at the end.

/ STAIN COLORS AND FINISHES

Hardwood Floor Stain Colors

Rooms facing the Canaan Valley fields get hard afternoon sun, while shaded lots by the river stay dim, so one stain looks different from house to house. We swatch.

/ OUR SERVICES

Hardwood Floor Refinishers in North Canaan

Victorians in Canaan Village, farmhouses in East Canaan, capes in Sodom and older homes along Route 44 fill most of our weeks. That oak has lived through barn boots, wood stoves and a hundred winters. Every room is brought down to raw oak, wiped clean, stained and sealed in poly.

Refinish Your Floors Next Day

North Canaan homeowners ask whether a seventies floor can lose its orange, how long the kitchen is closed and where the dog should wait.

Since you are close by, how fast can you start?

Most jobs start the day after we agree on it. The crew is close by, so we can come look at the floor, measure it and get going fast, often within a day.

How long will the refinish keep us out of the room?

For under 1,500 Sq Ft, clear runs 3 days and stained floors run 4, plus one extra day. Socks are fine after 24 hours and furniture goes back at 48.

Can you fix squeaks or loose boards first?

Sure. Loose boards get nailed down and damaged ones are swapped from $150 each before sanding, so the floor feels solid and quiet underfoot.

Should I go with oil or water based finish?

Oil based turns amber over time and feels classic. Water based Bona stays clear with much less smell. The price is the same per Sq Ft with us.

Is the sanding as dustless as you say?

Yes, it really is. Each sander feeds a collector as it runs. Afterward, walls and ceilings get blown down, and the rooms are vacuumed before the first coat.

When is the bill paid?

Half is due when our team begins sanding, and the rest the day the final coat goes on. No money is taken before work begins, not even a deposit.

What is the flat refinishing rate in North Canaan?

The price is $2.50/Sq Ft and pays for the sanding, a stain color and three coats of poly. Oak that is dull but sound might need only a $1.00/Sq Ft screen and recoat.

Can the orange varnish on my farmhouse floor come off?

Yes. Sanding removes the aged coating, and a cool stain cancels much of the red, tested on your boards first.

How soon can we walk on it?

Socks are fine tomorrow, and the furniture can come back the day after. Rugs should wait roughly two weeks.

Is furniture moving offered?

Yes, for a flat $250 for the house. Removing an old floor first is about $1.00/Sq Ft.

How is refinishing paid for?

You pay half as the sanding begins and half when the last coat is down. Nothing else is asked in advance.

How much dust spreads through the house?

Dust travels into sealed bags through a hose, and every ledge gets a wipe at the end. A light film on high shelves can still happen, so those get wiped too.

What if my boards are thin from earlier sanding?

At the estimate we check how much wear layer remains and report it straight. With little wood left, a screen and recoat treats the floor more kindly.

What warranty applies?

One year on labor from Brazil Floors. Whoever runs the sander is licensed, insured and holds NWFA certification.
