Dustless sanding captures 99% of particles, making it dramatically cleaner than traditional methods, though not 100% dust-free. The difference is significant enough that most homeowners can stay in their homes during the process.
Traditional sanding creates clouds of fine particles that settle on everything and linger in the air for weeks. With dustless equipment, you might notice a few particles here and there, but nothing like the coating of dust that covers furniture, artwork, and surfaces with conventional methods.
For Shinnecock Hills homes with valuable furnishings, custom millwork, or family members with respiratory sensitivities, this difference matters. You’re not dealing with dust infiltrating your HVAC system or settling in places that are impossible to clean.
