Sanding & Refinishing

While wood does wear out eventually, it can usually be sanded and refinished to bring it back to its natural state. When it’s properly cared for and refinished, wood floors can last decades, and look great the entire time. Maestro Flooring specializes in sanding and refinishing in all 5 boroughs of New York city. We use eco friendly materials and flooring supplies, like water based polyurethane, for all of our wood repair and refinishing projects.

Understanding the Process of Hardwood Refinishing

For the best results, you should refinish your hardwood floors about every 7-10 years, depending on the amount of traffic and the condition of your solid hardwood floor. Engineered hardwood can only be refinished a few times, but usually can go up to 20 years without requiring refinishing.

The process is quite simple. Here are 5 steps of hardwood refinishing:

1). Clean and prep – We’ll use specialized detergents to clean your wood and remove the old polyurethane, sealer and stain.

2). Sanding – The hardwood floor will be sanded to the bare wood, to prepare it for refinishing.

3). Stain and seal – Your floors will be re-stained and sealed, to bring out the natural grain and the beauty of the wood.

4). Polyurethane clear coat – We add a water based clear coat to your floor, which helps protect it, and pro-long the time it can go without refinishing.

5). Cleanup – Our team will clean up all the dust, supplies, and materials, leaving your floor clean and brand-new.
