Hardwood Floor Refinishing in Los Angeles
Most worn hardwood floors do not need replacing. A solid hardwood floor can be sanded and refinished several times, and the result is a floor that looks new while keeping the wood already in your home.
We sand to bare wood, test stain colors on your actual floor so you choose from real samples rather than a brochure, and finish with a protective topcoat. If the wear has not reached the wood, a re-coat is faster and costs less, and we will tell you when that is the better option.

Floor Restoration FAQ
Common questions about floor restoration in Los Angeles.
What is the difference between refinishing and re-coating a hardwood floor?
Refinishing sands the floor down to bare wood, then applies new stain and finish. It removes deeper scratches and allows a color change. Re-coating lightly abrades the existing finish and adds a fresh top coat. It is faster and cheaper, but only works when wear has not reached the wood.
Can I change the color of my hardwood floor?
Yes. Once the floor is sanded to bare wood it can be finished natural or stained anywhere from light to dark brown. We apply several stain samples to your floor so you can compare them in your own lighting before choosing.
How do you keep sanding dust out of the rest of the house?
Closets, doorways, and adjoining rooms are sealed with plastic before sanding starts, and we clean up when the job is done.
Do you refinish stairs and outdoor porches?
Yes. We refinish staircase treads, risers, and handrails, and restore covered wood porch decks.
