Most refinishing projects are completed in 2 to 3 days. Day one covers sanding and prep, day two is staining and the first polyurethane coat, and day three is the final coat and cleanup. You can walk on your floors in socks within 24 hours of the last coat, and furniture goes back after 72 hours.

Yes. We apply stain samples directly on your sanded floor so you can see the exact color in your home's lighting before we commit. This is especially important in Atlanta homes with open floor plans, where stain colors can look very different than in a showroom or on a sample board.

We handle moving standard furniture like tables, chairs, sofas, and bookshelves as part of our service. You only need to clear personal items, electronics, and anything fragile. For larger homes with multiple rooms, we often refinish in stages so you can continue living in the house during the project.

Refinishing sands down the existing wood surface, applies new stain and finish, and costs a fraction of replacement. Replacing means tearing out the old floors and installing new hardwood, which costs 3 to 5 times more and takes significantly longer. Most Atlanta hardwood floors can be refinished multiple times before replacement is necessary.
