Your hardwood floors can look stunning again without turning your home into a construction zone. When we sand your floors in Riverhead, you get professional results with 99% less dust than traditional methods.
That means no covering every piece of furniture. No plastic sheeting hanging everywhere. No dust settling into your vents and light fixtures for weeks afterward.
Instead, you get smooth, perfectly prepared surfaces ready for staining and finishing. Your floors emerge looking like they were just installed, with that rich wood grain and character that made you fall in love with hardwood in the first place.
Hamptons Carpet One has been transforming Suffolk County homes since 1988. We’re the only company in the Riverhead area offering true dustless wood floor sanding technology.
Our team understands the unique needs of Long Island homes. From historic properties to modern builds, we’ve seen what works and what doesn’t when it comes to hardwood restoration.
What sets us apart is our commitment to doing it right the first time. No shortcuts. No cutting corners. Just professional craftsmanship backed by the Beautiful Guarantee®.
The process starts with a thorough assessment of your floors. We examine the wood type, existing finish, and any damage that needs addressing before sanding begins.
Next comes the actual sanding using our dustless equipment. Multiple grits remove the old finish and surface imperfections while our powerful vacuum system captures particles at the source. You can actually watch the work happen without breathing clouds of dust.
After sanding, your floors are ready for staining if you want a color change, followed by protective finishing coats. The entire process typically takes 3-5 days depending on your home’s size, and you can walk on the floors the same day in most cases.

Professional floor sanding in Riverhead includes complete surface preparation, multiple sanding passes with progressively finer grits, and thorough cleanup. Our dustless system means minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Many Riverhead homes have beautiful oak, maple, or pine floors hiding under years of wear and old finishes. These floors often just need proper sanding to reveal their original beauty. The process removes scratches, stains, and surface damage while preserving the wood’s natural character.
Suffolk County’s coastal climate can be tough on hardwood floors, with humidity changes causing expansion and contraction. Professional sanding addresses these issues while preparing your floors for protective finishes that stand up to Long Island’s weather patterns.
Most floor sanding projects in Riverhead take 3-5 days from start to finish. The timeline depends on your home’s square footage, the condition of your existing floors, and whether you’re adding stain.
Day one typically involves moving furniture and beginning the sanding process. Days two and three focus on completing the sanding and applying stain if desired. The final days involve applying protective finish coats and allowing proper curing time.
With dustless sanding, you can usually stay in your home during the process. Our equipment captures 99% of dust particles, so there’s no need to pack up and find temporary housing like with traditional sanding methods.
Traditional floor sanding creates clouds of fine dust that spread throughout your home, settling on furniture, in vents, and even in rooms that aren’t being worked on. This dust can linger for weeks and poses health risks, especially for people with allergies or respiratory issues.
Dustless sanding uses specialized equipment with powerful vacuum systems that capture dust particles right at the source. Instead of dust floating through your home, it’s immediately sucked into sealed containers. This technology removes 90-98% of airborne particles.
The result is a cleaner work environment, faster cleanup, and better finishing results since dust doesn’t settle on freshly sanded surfaces. You can actually watch the work happen without breathing dust or worrying about cleanup afterward.
Yes, floors that haven’t been touched in 20, 30, or even 50 years can often be beautifully restored through professional sanding. Many Riverhead homes have original hardwood floors that just need proper attention to look stunning again.
The key is having enough wood thickness remaining for sanding. Most solid hardwood floors can be sanded multiple times throughout their lifespan. Even floors with deep scratches, stains, or multiple layers of old finish can usually be brought back to life.
During our initial assessment, we evaluate your floor’s condition and thickness to determine the best approach. Sometimes floors that look beyond hope can be transformed into showpieces with the right sanding technique and professional expertise.
Floor sanding costs in Riverhead typically range from $3-8 per square foot, depending on your floor’s condition, the type of wood, and whether you want staining. Dustless sanding may cost slightly more upfront but often saves money through reduced cleanup time and better results.
The investment makes sense when you consider that professional sanding can extend your floors’ life by decades while adding significant value to your home. Hardwood floors are consistently ranked as one of the highest ROI home improvements.
Free estimates help you understand exactly what your project will cost with no surprises. We evaluate your specific floors and provide transparent pricing based on your home’s unique needs and your desired outcome.
Most furniture needs to be moved before sanding begins, but we can often help coordinate this process. Many homeowners move smaller items themselves while we handle heavier pieces like dressers, beds, and dining room sets.
The goal is creating clear access to all floor areas that need sanding. Even with dustless equipment, furniture needs to be out of the way for proper sanding and finishing. Some companies include furniture moving in their service, while others coordinate with moving specialists.
Planning ahead makes the process smoother. We provide specific guidance about what needs moving and when, helping you prepare your home efficiently. With dustless sanding, you don’t need to worry about dust settling on furniture in other rooms.
With modern dustless sanding and fast-drying finishes, you can often walk on your floors in stocking feet the same day the final coat is applied. However, full curing takes 24-72 hours depending on the type of finish used.
Water-based finishes typically dry faster than oil-based options, allowing normal foot traffic within hours. Oil-based finishes provide incredible durability but require longer curing times. We explain the specific timeline for your chosen finish.
Furniture can usually be moved back after 24-48 hours with proper protection like felt pads. Full curing, when your floors reach maximum durability, happens over the following weeks. We provide detailed care instructions to protect your investment during this period.
