Floor Sanding Process Coram

A Clear Process, Professional Results

The process starts with a thorough assessment of your floors to determine the right approach. Every hardwood floor is different, and the sanding method needs to match both the wood type and the current condition. Next comes the actual sanding, using professional-grade dustless equipment that removes the old finish and surface imperfections without filling your home with dust. This isn’t the messy, disruptive process you might be dreading—modern dustless sanding technology captures virtually all debris as it’s created. After sanding comes the finishing work. This includes applying the stain of your choice (if you want to change the color) and then multiple coats of protective finish that will keep your floors looking great for years to come. The entire process is completed with minimal disruption to your daily routine, and you’ll be walking on beautiful, restored hardwood that feels like a completely new floor.

Dustless Hardwood Sanding Coram

What You Get With Every Project

Every floor sanding project includes a complete assessment, professional dustless sanding, and your choice of finish options. You’re not just getting the surface scratches removed—you’re getting a complete restoration that addresses the underlying wood and prepares it for years of heavy use. The dustless sanding technology means you won’t need to move furniture out of adjacent rooms or worry about dust settling throughout your house. This is particularly important in Coram homes where open floor plans are common and dust can easily travel between spaces. You also get the peace of mind that comes with working with a licensed, insured company that stands behind our work with the Beautiful Guarantee®. If you’re not completely satisfied with the results, we’ll make it right. This level of commitment to customer satisfaction is what has kept us in business and built our reputation throughout Suffolk County over the years.

How long does floor sanding take in a typical Coram home?

Most residential floor sanding projects take 2-4 days depending on the size of the area and the condition of your floors. A typical living room and hallway might be completed in 2 days, while a whole-house project could take 3-4 days. The timeline includes sanding, staining (if desired), and applying multiple coats of finish with proper drying time between each coat. You’ll be able to walk on the floors in socks after 24 hours, but you should wait about a week before moving heavy furniture back. The dustless sanding process actually speeds things up because there’s no extensive cleanup required between steps. Your project stays on schedule without the delays that come with traditional sanding methods.

Will floor sanding create dust throughout my house?

Not with modern dustless sanding equipment. The professional-grade machines we use capture 99% of dust at the source, so you won’t have dust settling on furniture in other rooms or coating your belongings. This is a huge advantage over traditional sanding methods that require you to cover furniture, seal off rooms with plastic, and plan for extensive cleanup afterward. With dustless sanding, you can leave furniture in adjacent rooms without worry. You might notice a very light coating of fine dust immediately around the work area, but nothing like the heavy dust clouds that older sanding methods created. Most customers are surprised by how clean the process actually is.

Can you sand floors that have been previously refinished multiple times?

In most cases, yes. Solid hardwood floors can typically be sanded and refinished 6-10 times over their lifetime, depending on the thickness of the wood above the tongue and groove. During the initial assessment, our technician will measure the wood thickness to determine if there’s enough material for another sanding. If your floors are solid hardwood (as opposed to engineered), there’s usually plenty of wood to work with even if they’ve been refinished before. However, if the floors are engineered hardwood or have been sanded too many times previously, alternative restoration methods like screening and recoating might be recommended instead. The assessment will determine the best approach for your specific situation.

What's the difference between sanding and screening for hardwood floors?

Sanding removes the old finish and a thin layer of wood to eliminate scratches, dents, and wear patterns. It’s a complete restoration that brings the floor back to bare wood before applying new stain and finish. Screening (also called buffing) is a lighter process that only removes the top layer of finish without cutting into the wood itself. It’s ideal for floors that are in good condition but just need a fresh coat of finish to restore their shine. Screening is less expensive and takes less time, but it won’t remove deep scratches or change the color of your floors. Sanding is necessary when you want to address damage, change the stain color, or when the floors haven’t been refinished in many years and need a complete restoration.

How do I know if my floors need sanding or just cleaning?

If you can see the wood grain clearly and the floors just look dull or have minor surface scratches, professional cleaning and screening might be enough. But if you see deep scratches, worn areas where the finish is completely gone, or water stains that have penetrated the wood, you’ll need sanding. Another test is to put a small drop of water on the floor. If it beads up, the finish is still intact. If it soaks in, the finish has worn through and sanding is needed to properly protect the wood. When in doubt, a professional assessment can determine the best approach. Sometimes what looks like it needs complete sanding can actually be restored with less invasive methods, saving you time and money while still getting great results.

What type of finish should I choose for my sanded floors?

The choice depends on your lifestyle and preferences. Polyurethane finishes offer excellent durability and are available in different sheen levels from matte to high gloss. Water-based polyurethane dries faster and has less odor, while oil-based provides a warmer, more traditional look. For high-traffic areas or homes with pets and children, a satin or semi-gloss finish provides good durability while hiding minor scratches better than high-gloss options. Matte finishes are trendy and forgiving but may require more frequent maintenance. Our technician will explain the pros and cons of each option based on your specific situation, including the type of wood, room usage, and maintenance preferences. We can also show you samples to help you visualize how different finishes will look in your space.
