We install all wood flooring types including hardwood, vinyl, laminate, and engineered wood. Our team delivers and installs your chosen flooring with precision. Services include nail-down, glue-down, and click-lock systems for durable results.
Sanding
Professional sanding services restore worn floors using dustless technology. We remove 99.9% of dust with HEPA filtration, repair surface damage, and control humidity for optimal finish adhesion. This process revitalizes aged flooring while maintaining clean environments.
Dustless System
Our advanced dust containment system captures 99.9% of particles during sanding. HEPA filtration ensures healthy air quality while maintaining temperature and humidity control. This technology allows continuous AC use and prevents contamination during refinishing projects.
Sandless System
Non-abrasive floor preparation system preserves existing finishes. We test for contamination, clean thoroughly, and apply topcoats without sanding. Ideal for pre-finished or distressed flooring requiring minimal disruption and one-day completion.
