Dustless Sanding Systems

Historic homes aren’t “Standard Jobs”

Historic floors can hide surprises—uneven boards, old finishes, gaps, pet stains, water damage, or repairs done the wrong way years ago. And in historic districts, the wrong approach can create bigger problems.

That’s why I treat historic refinishing like restoration: protect what makes your home special, follow a careful process, and communicate clearly so you know what to expect.

“Careful sanding + stain matching that respects the home’s original character.”

What you get with “Refinish My Floors”

  • True dust containment: I use professional dustless sanding systems designed to dramatically reduce airborne dust compared to standard sanding.
  • Respect for original character: I focus on preserving the look and feel of older hardwood—without over-sanding or rushing.
  • Stain matching that looks natural: From warm, lighter tones to classic finishes, I help you choose a color that fits the home.
  • Repairs done correctly: Pet stains, water/termite damage, gaps, transitions, baseboards—handled by trained technicians.
  • Owner-level accountability: If it’s not done right, I come back and make it right. That’s my personal guarantee.
