You get floors that look like they were just installed, not just patched up. Our dustless sanding process strips away decades of wear, scratches, and dullness while keeping your home clean and breathable.
No plastic sheeting covering your furniture. No dust settling into every corner for weeks. No evacuating your family while we work. Just beautiful, restored hardwood floors that add real value to your Shirley home.
This isn’t about making old floors “good enough.” It’s about bringing them back to life with the kind of precision and care that your investment deserves.
We’ve been refinishing hardwood floors in Shirley and across Long Island for over 35 years. That means we’ve seen every type of floor, every kind of damage, and every homeowner concern you can imagine.
Shirley’s housing stock tells a story – from those classic 1970s builds to the historic bayside bungalows that Walter T. Shirley envisioned. We know these floors because we’ve been working on them for decades, and we understand what it takes to restore them properly.
Our dustless sanding technology isn’t just cleaner – it’s better for your floors and your family. While other contractors are still creating dust clouds and health hazards, we’re delivering results that actually last.
First, we assess your floors with professional precision – no guesswork, no surprises. Our team measures everything with iPad technology and leaves samples so you can see exactly how your floors will look in different lighting throughout the day.
Then comes the sanding. Our dustless equipment captures 99% of particles before they can spread through your home. We sand down to bare wood, removing all existing finish, scratches, and imperfections without the mess that traditional methods create.
Next, we apply your chosen stain – including custom colors if you want something unique. Finally, we seal everything with professional-grade finish that’s designed to last. The whole process happens while you stay comfortable in your home, breathing clean air.
Ready to get started?
Every floor sanding project includes complete restoration from start to finish. We handle the heavy lifting, furniture moving, and all the technical work that goes into proper hardwood refinishing.
You get custom stain matching if needed, professional-grade polyurethane application, and our Beautiful Guarantee – if you don’t love the results, we’ll replace your floors for free. That’s confidence in our work that most contractors won’t offer.
For Shirley homeowners dealing with the unique challenges of coastal moisture and older home construction, we bring specialized knowledge. We understand how salt air affects finishes and how to work with the settling patterns common in Long Island’s aging housing stock. This local expertise makes the difference between a job that looks good for a year and floors that stay beautiful for decades.
Most floor sanding projects in Shirley take 2-3 days from start to finish, depending on the size of the area and the condition of your floors. Day one covers sanding and stain application, day two handles the first coat of finish, and day three completes the final protective coating.
The dustless process actually speeds things up because we don’t need time for dust containment setup or extensive cleanup afterward. You can walk on your floors within 24 hours of the final coat, though we recommend waiting 72 hours before moving heavy furniture back.
Unlike traditional sanding that might require a week of preparation and cleanup, our process keeps disruption to your daily routine minimal while delivering superior results.
Dustless sanding captures 99% of particles at the source using powerful vacuum technology, compared to traditional methods that spread fine dust throughout your entire home. This means no dust settling on your furniture, in your air vents, or triggering respiratory issues for your family.
The health benefits are significant – especially important for families with children, pets, or anyone with asthma or allergies. You don’t need to cover furniture, seal off rooms, or leave your home during the work.
From a quality standpoint, dustless sanding also produces better results because dust particles can’t settle into the fresh finish, creating a smoother, more durable surface that lasts longer than traditional methods.
Yes, we specialize in custom stain matching and can create virtually any color you need. Many Shirley homes have unique flooring situations – maybe you’re adding new sections to match existing floors, or you want to restore the original color from decades ago.
We bring samples directly to your home so you can see how different stains look in your actual lighting conditions throughout the day. This eliminates guesswork and ensures you’re completely satisfied with the color choice before we begin the full project.
Our experience with Long Island’s diverse housing stock means we’ve matched everything from original 1940s finishes to modern custom colors. If you have a specific look in mind, we can achieve it.
Floor sanding costs in Shirley typically range from $3-6 per square foot depending on the condition of your floors, the type of finish you choose, and any custom work needed. Most homeowners find this significantly more affordable than replacing their hardwood floors entirely.
We provide detailed, written estimates after assessing your specific situation – no hidden fees or surprise charges. The estimate includes all materials, labor, and our Beautiful Guarantee, so you know exactly what you’re investing upfront.
Many Shirley homeowners are surprised to learn that professional refinishing, including our dustless process and premium finishes, often costs less than attempting DIY methods when you factor in equipment rental, materials, and the risk of costly mistakes.
Most hardwood floors can be successfully sanded and refinished, even floors that are 50-80 years old. Shirley’s housing stock includes many homes from the 1940s-1970s with solid hardwood that responds beautifully to professional restoration.
The key factor is the thickness of the wood remaining. Solid hardwood floors can typically be sanded multiple times over their lifetime, while engineered floors have limitations. During our assessment, we’ll measure the wood thickness and let you know exactly what’s possible.
We’ve restored floors in Shirley that homeowners thought were beyond saving – floors with deep scratches, water damage, or decades of wear. Often, what looks like a replacement job is actually a perfect candidate for refinishing that will look better than new flooring.
Yes, we provide completely free, no-obligation estimates for all floor sanding projects in Shirley. Our team will come to your home, assess your floors professionally, and provide a detailed written quote that covers everything from start to finish.
During the estimate, we’ll measure your space with precision iPad technology, discuss your goals and preferences, and leave stain samples so you can make informed decisions. There’s no pressure and no hidden agenda – just honest assessment and transparent pricing.
We’ve been serving Shirley homeowners since 1988, and we believe in earning your business through expertise and fair pricing, not high-pressure sales tactics. The estimate gives you all the information you need to make the right decision for your home and budget.
