Austin's Hardwood Floor Refinishing Specialists
If your hardwood floors are scratched, dull, or showing their age, refinishing is almost always the smarter move over replacement. A full sand-and-refinish restores your floors to better-than-new condition at 60–80% less than the cost of new flooring — and in Austin's resale market, refinished hardwood is a direct line to higher appraisal values.

We use commercial-grade dustless sanding equipment, carry a full range of stain colors, and offer both water-based and oil-based finish options.

Signs Your Austin Floors Need Refinishing
If you notice any of the following, it's time to call us for a free assessment.
Refinishing vs. Replacement: If the boards are flat, solid, and at least 3/8 inch thick, refinishing is almost always the right call. Replacement costs $8–$16 per square foot installed. Refinishing costs $3.50–$5.50 per square foot. We'll tell you honestly which one your floors need.
Our Floor Refinishing Services in Austin TX
From full sand-and-refinish to quick screen-and-recoat, we offer the right level of service for your floors' condition and your budget.
Complete sanding down to bare wood, custom stain, and 3 coats of finish. Best for floors with deep scratches, heavy wear, or color change.
Light scuff-sanding of the existing finish and 1–2 new coats. No stain change. Best for floors that are dull or lightly scratched but structurally sound.
Our commercial-grade dustless systems capture 98%+ of sanding dust at the source — no plastic sheeting required, no HVAC contamination.
Choose from dozens of stain colors or let us create a custom blend. We apply test patches before committing to the full floor.
Low-VOC, fast-drying water-based polyurethane. Dry to walk in 4–6 hours. Ideal for families with children, pets, or chemical sensitivities.
Traditional oil-based polyurethane for maximum durability and a warm amber tone. Longer dry time but exceptional hardness and longevity.
Our Floor Refinishing Process
A full sand-and-refinish typically takes 3–5 days from start to finish. Here's exactly what to expect.
Free In-Home Estimate
We assess your floors, check the veneer thickness on engineered floors, identify any structural issues, and give you a firm written estimate — same day.
Furniture Moving & Prep
We move furniture (included in most projects), remove base molding carefully, and seal off doorways to contain dust even with our dustless systems.
Sanding
We sand in multiple passes — coarse to fine — to remove the old finish and level the surface. Dustless equipment runs continuously throughout.
Stain Application
If you're changing color, we apply stain and let it penetrate fully before wiping. We apply a test patch first so you can approve the color before we do the whole floor.
Finish Coats
We apply 2–3 coats of your chosen finish (water-based or oil-based), lightly screening between coats for a smooth, durable surface.
Final Walkthrough
We walk the floor with you, reinstall base molding, and give you care instructions. Lifetime workmanship warranty included.
