Dustless Floor Refinishing
Decades of chair legs, cleats and winter salt leave gray patches and cloudy varnish. Sanding to bare oak and sealing it again brings the color back.

We talk through satin, semi gloss or matte and match the stain to oak, maple or fir. Summit jobs draw their stain and poly from the shelves of our Long Branch, NJ warehouse.
Stain samples go straight onto your own boards before the sander starts, so you approve the exact tone you will live with in your Summit light.
Labor on refinishing carries one year of coverage. Nobody on the sanding team is a stranger to us, since NWFA trained employees run every machine.

Old varnish on Victorian oak takes several passes with a drum sander before the grain shows clean.

A dark chestnut stain in a Tudor dining room frames the leaded windows and hides old scuffs.

Three thin coats of poly in the front hall resist the wear of boots and strollers.

South facing rooms fade over the years, and a fresh finish levels out the color from window to wall.

Staircase landings are hand scraped where the machine stops, so the finish matches the main floor.

Plastic barriers and a vacuum attachment on the sander keep the dust out of the other rooms.



Expect $2.50/Sq Ft for sanding to bare wood, staining and three coats of polyurethane. A lighter screen and recoat, when it is enough, costs $1.00/Sq Ft.
Our sanders connect to vacuums and we tape off doorways. You will see a thin layer of dust at most, and we clean before leaving.
Yes, because sanding to bare wood removes the old color. A very dark stain may need extra passes, which we judge at the estimate.
Light foot traffic is fine after a night, and rugs and furniture wait a few days. We write out the cure timeline before the first day.
We replace broken or cupped boards before sanding so the surface finishes evenly. Those repairs are quoted on site.
We do for a flat $250.
Booking the estimate online takes $250 off.
Our own staff, never subcontractors, with one year on labor.
