Is dustless sanding really dust-free?
Modern systems achieve about 99% dust containment by attaching high-CFM vacuum hoses directly to the sanders and exhausting outside or through HEPA filters.
Can dark pet urine stains be sanded out?
Surface stains usually sand out. If urine soaked deep into the wood fibers causing black discoloration, craftsmen lace in new matching oak boards seamlessly.
How long does hardwood floor finish take to cure?
Light foot traffic with socks is allowed after 24 hours. Furniture can be brought back in after 48 to 72 hours. Area rugs should wait 14 days for full cure.
What is the difference between solid and engineered hardwood?
Solid wood is 3/4-inch solid timber throughout and can be refinished 5+ times. Engineered wood has a real hardwood top veneer over a cross-grain plywood core for superior humidity stability.
Is Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) good for Colorado basements?

Full sanding, custom stain, and 3 coats of commercial finish typically ranges from $3.75 to $5.50 per square foot.
Can you match the color of my existing hardwood in other rooms?
