What refinishing involves
We sand the floor back to bare wood, repair damaged boards, apply the stain color you choose, and seal it with a durable finish. The result looks new, and it keeps the character of original wood you can't buy today, a real draw in older Milwaukie and Oregon City homes.
Refinish or replace?
Refinish when the boards are solid and thick enough to sand. Most hardwood can be refinished several times over its life. Replace when the wood is water-damaged, worn through to the tongue, or you want a different material. We'll check the board thickness and condition and tell you honestly which makes sense.

Dust and downtime
We use dust-containment sanding to keep the mess down, but plan to stay off the floors while the finish cures. We'll give you a realistic schedule for when each room is walkable and when furniture can go back.
Frequently asked questions
- How many times can hardwood be refinished?
- Solid hardwood can typically be refinished several times across its lifespan, depending on board thickness. Engineered hardwood can usually be refinished once or twice, depending on the wear layer.
- Can you change the color of my floors?
- Yes, refinishing is the ideal time to restain. We can go darker easily and lighter within the wood's range, and we'll sample the stain on your actual floor before committing.
- How long before I can walk on them?
- It depends on the finish. Water-based finishes cure faster than oil-based; we'll give you specific timelines for light foot traffic and for moving furniture back.
