Dustless Floor Refinishing
Every bit of sanding dust rides a hose to a sealed sack, so none reaches the unit next door. Plaster and ceiling are aired off last.

Count on 3 days if the floor under 1,500 Sq Ft stays natural or 4 if colored, and one more day held. Socks at 24 hours, table at 48.
Boards blackened by old radiator leaks or split by age get pulled and replaced from $150 each, then sanded in with the rest.
You get a year of labor warranty from a crew that is licensed, insured and NWFA certified. Half when sanders start, half at the end.

Clear poly with no stain at all leaves old maple and oak light in the mill houses down by River Island Park.

Medium brown keeps boot prints and cat hair from showing in busy two family homes on Constitution Hill.

Cool and calm, it pulls the orange out of sixties oak in capes and small ranches set around Cass Park.

A golden tone with a soft red warmth, at home in the old mill worker houses lining the streets of Globe.

Deep walnut with the grain on show, rich in dining rooms of the big Victorians across the North End.

Close to black and sleek, a bold choice for a redone unit near Fairmount, though pet hair shows up faster.



We charge a flat rate of $2.50/Sq Ft, which buys sanding, your stain and the poly finish. A floor that is dull between tenants may only need a $1.00/Sq Ft recoat.
Yes, it can. Sanding cuts through the old wax on the way down to raw wood. Boards from that era are thick and usually look far better than owners expect.
No. Every sander feeds a closed bag through a hose, so the dust stays out of the hallway. After sanding, the crew airs off plaster and ceiling, then vacuums.
Pretty quickly. Under 1,500 Sq Ft, the work runs 3 days without color or 4 with it, and a day is held. Socks are fine at 24 hours, and furniture comes in at 48.
Hardly. Bona water based poly gives off a mild smell that fades within a few hours, so the family in the next unit rarely notices anything at all.
No. A lockbox or a tenant with a spare key works fine for us. The crew must be able to get in daily until the last of the poly is down and drying.
It is $50 a step with stain. Treads get sanded by hand until they blend into the landing and hall, and the risers are left out of what each step costs.
In two halves. You pay the first on sanding day one and the second once the final poly is on, so nothing is owed just to book a date on the calendar.
