You get floors that actually look professionally done. No sanding marks, no uneven spots, no dust settling in your furniture for months afterward.
The difference between DIY disasters and professional results comes down to experience and the right equipment. When you’ve been sanding floors for over 20 years like we have, you know how to avoid the mistakes that cost homeowners thousands in repairs.
Your Ridge home deserves floors that enhance its value, not detract from it. Professional sanding means your hardwood investment pays off for decades to come.
We’ve been serving Ridge and surrounding Long Island communities for over two decades. We understand what Ridge homeowners need because we live and work here too.
Ridge homes, many built in the 1970s and 80s, often have original hardwood that just needs the right touch to shine again. We’ve seen every type of floor condition in this area – from water damage to pet stains to decades of wear.
What sets us apart is our dustless sanding technology and our commitment to doing the job right the first time. No shortcuts, no surprises, no excuses.
First, we inspect your floors and discuss your goals. Every floor tells a story, and we need to understand yours before we start.
Next comes our dustless sanding system. This isn’t your neighbor’s rental equipment – it’s professional-grade machinery that removes old finish and imperfections without filling your home with dust. We start with coarser grits to handle the heavy work, then progress through finer grits for a smooth finish.
Finally, we apply your chosen stain and protective finish. The result is floors that look better than when they were first installed, ready to handle whatever your family throws at them.

Our comprehensive floor sanding service covers everything from preparation to final cleanup. We move furniture, protect your belongings, and contain the work area.
Ridge homeowners particularly appreciate our dustless sanding technology. With many homes in close proximity and shared walls in townhouses and condos, traditional sanding can affect neighbors too. Our system keeps dust contained where it belongs.
We also handle the details that matter – proper edge sanding, custom stain matching, and multiple finish coats for lasting protection. Your floors get the attention they deserve, not a rush job to get to the next house.
Most Ridge homes need 2-3 days for complete floor sanding and refinishing. Day one covers sanding and stain application. Day two involves applying protective finish coats. Day three is for final inspection and furniture replacement.
The timeline depends on your home’s square footage and floor condition. A typical 1,200 square foot Ranch-style home common in Ridge takes about 2.5 days. We’ll give you an exact timeline during our free estimate.
Weather and humidity can affect drying times, especially during Long Island’s humid summers. We factor this into our scheduling to ensure perfect results.
Our dustless sanding system captures over 95% of dust at the source. You’ll still see some fine particles, but nothing like traditional sanding that coats everything in your home.
This matters especially in Ridge’s closely-built neighborhoods where dust can affect neighbors too. Our system uses powerful vacuum technology built into the sanding equipment to contain debris as it’s created.
The small amount of dust that does escape is easily managed with our containment barriers. You won’t find dust on your kitchen counters or in your bedroom after we’re done.
Yes, but it depends on the engineered floor’s wear layer thickness. Most quality engineered floors can be sanded 1-2 times during their lifetime if the wear layer is at least 3mm thick.
We measure the wear layer before starting to ensure we don’t sand through to the plywood core. Many Ridge homes installed engineered floors in the 1990s and 2000s that are perfect candidates for refinishing.
If your engineered floors can’t be sanded, we offer alternative refinishing methods that can still restore their appearance without removing wood material.
Screening is a lighter process that roughens the existing finish so new polyurethane can adhere properly. It’s perfect for floors in good condition that just need a fresh protective coat.
Full sanding removes all old finish and some wood material to eliminate scratches, stains, and wear patterns. Most Ridge homes with original 1970s-80s hardwood need full sanding to look their best.
We recommend screening every 3-5 years and full sanding every 10-15 years, depending on traffic and care. During our inspection, we’ll tell you exactly which approach your floors need.
Pet stains require special attention because they often penetrate deep into the wood. Surface sanding won’t remove stains that have soaked through multiple layers.
We start by assessing stain depth and coverage. Light surface stains usually sand out completely. Deeper stains may require spot treatment with specialized products before sanding, or in severe cases, board replacement.
The good news is that most pet stains in Ridge homes respond well to professional treatment. We’ve successfully restored floors that homeowners thought were beyond saving.
Absolutely. We provide detailed, no-obligation estimates for all Ridge homeowners. Our estimator visits your home, measures each room, and assesses your floors’ current condition.
You’ll receive a written estimate that breaks down all costs – sanding, materials, labor, and any additional services needed. No surprises, no hidden fees, no pressure to decide immediately.
We also bring floor samples and stain options so you can see exactly how different finishes will look in your home’s lighting. Most Ridge estimates take 30-45 minutes and help you make an informed decision.
