Hear from Our Customers
You walk into your home and immediately notice the difference. The floors that once looked tired and worn now have that rich, deep finish that catches the light perfectly. No more hiding scratches under area rugs or feeling embarrassed when guests come over.
The transformation goes beyond just appearance. Your newly finished floors increase your home’s value significantly in Elwood’s competitive market where homes are selling 8.3% above last year’s prices. You’ve made a smart investment that pays dividends every single day.
Most importantly, you can actually enjoy your floors again. No more worrying about every scuff mark or water spot. Our finishing process creates a durable surface that handles real life while maintaining that showroom look you wanted.
We’ve been serving Elwood homeowners for over a decade, and we’re the only company in the area offering truly dustless floor refinishing. While other contractors turn your home into a construction zone, our advanced containment systems keep your space clean and livable.
Our team understands the unique challenges of Hamptons homes—from dealing with older hardwood species to matching existing finishes in historic properties. We’ve worked with architects and designers throughout the region, building a reputation for precision and reliability.
Every project comes with our Beautiful Guarantee®. If you’re not completely satisfied with your floors, we’ll replace them free. It’s that simple. We stand behind our work because we know the difference between a quick job and craftsmanship that lasts.
First, we’ll visit your home for a free consultation and assessment. Our team evaluates your current floors, discusses your vision, and provides samples so you can see exactly how different stains and finishes will look in your lighting throughout the day.
Next comes the preparation and sanding phase using our dustless containment system. While traditional refinishing creates clouds of dust that settle throughout your entire home, our equipment captures 99% of particles at the source. You can stay in your home during most of the process.
The final steps involve applying your chosen stain and protective finish. We use low-VOC products that dry faster and create healthier indoor air quality. Most projects are completed within 2-3 days, and you’ll be walking on your beautiful new floors sooner than you expected.

Every floor finishing project includes comprehensive sanding to remove old finish and surface imperfections, custom stain application to achieve your exact color preference, and multiple coats of high-grade polyurethane for lasting protection. We also handle minor repairs like filling gaps and replacing damaged boards.
In Elwood’s humid coastal climate, proper moisture management is crucial for long-lasting results. Our team uses moisture meters and acclimation techniques specific to Long Island conditions, preventing the warping and cupping issues that plague many refinishing jobs in the area.
You’ll also receive detailed care instructions and recommended maintenance schedules to keep your floors looking their best. Many Elwood homeowners are surprised to learn that proper maintenance can extend the life of their finish by years, protecting their investment and maintaining that fresh appearance longer.
Most floor finishing projects in Elwood homes take 2-3 days from start to finish. Day one involves sanding and preparation, day two includes stain application and first finish coat, and day three completes the final protective coats.
The timeline can vary based on your home’s square footage and the number of coats needed. Larger homes or floors requiring extensive repairs may take an additional day. Weather and humidity levels also affect drying times, which is why we monitor conditions carefully.
You can typically walk on your floors with socks after 24 hours, but we recommend waiting 72 hours before moving furniture back. Full curing takes about a week, during which you should avoid heavy traffic and area rugs.
Not with our dustless refinishing system. Our advanced equipment captures 99% of dust particles at the source, unlike traditional sanders that send dust throughout your entire home. You’ll be amazed at how clean the process actually is.
We use specialized containment barriers and high-powered vacuum systems that work directly with our sanding equipment. This means dust doesn’t settle on your furniture, artwork, or belongings in other rooms. Most clients are shocked at how little cleanup is required afterward.
While no system is 100% dust-free, our process is dramatically cleaner than conventional methods. You can stay in your home during most of the refinishing process without worrying about dust covering everything you own.
Yes, color matching is one of our specialties. Our team brings multiple stain samples to your home and tests them on inconspicuous areas of your actual floors. This allows you to see exactly how each option will look in your specific lighting conditions throughout the day.
We understand that every piece of wood accepts stain differently, and factors like wood species, age, and grain pattern all affect the final color. That’s why we never rely on generic color charts or samples from different wood types.
For homes with existing floors in other rooms, we can create custom stain blends to achieve seamless transitions. Many Elwood homeowners have been thrilled with how well their refinished floors match adjacent areas that weren’t being worked on.
Refinishing costs significantly less than replacement while delivering similar visual results. If your floors have good structural integrity but look worn or outdated, refinishing can make them look brand new for about one-third the cost of replacement.
Most solid hardwood floors can be refinished multiple times throughout their lifespan. The process removes only a thin layer of wood surface, leaving plenty of material for future refinishing if needed. This makes refinishing an excellent long-term investment.
Replacement is typically only necessary when floors have structural damage, extensive water damage, or have been refinished so many times that insufficient wood thickness remains. Our team can assess your floors during the consultation and recommend the most cost-effective approach.
Absolutely. We use low-VOC and zero-VOC finishing products that improve indoor air quality and reduce environmental impact. These modern finishes perform just as well as traditional options while being safer for your family and pets.
Our eco-friendly options include water-based polyurethanes that dry faster and produce fewer odors than oil-based alternatives. You can often stay in your home during the entire process when using these products, unlike traditional finishes that require you to vacate for days.
We also source stains and finishes from manufacturers committed to sustainable practices. Many of our products are certified by environmental organizations, giving you peace of mind that your beautiful floors aren’t compromising your family’s health or the environment.
Proper maintenance starts with using the right cleaning products and techniques. We provide specific care instructions and recommend cleaners that won’t damage your new finish. Regular sweeping or vacuuming removes grit that can scratch the surface over time.
Avoid wet mopping with excessive water, which can penetrate seams and cause damage. Instead, use slightly damp microfiber mops with approved hardwood cleaners. Place mats at entrances to reduce tracked-in dirt and sand, which are the biggest enemies of hardwood finishes.
Most finishes benefit from professional recoating every 3-5 years, depending on traffic levels. This maintenance coating refreshes the appearance and adds another layer of protection without requiring full refinishing. We offer maintenance services to keep your floors looking their best for decades.
