A NEW COLOR. THE HARDWOOD YOU ALREADY LOVE.

Ready to lose
the orange look?

Older oil-based finishes can develop the amber or “pumpkin” tone many homeowners want to change. Sanding removes the old finish so we can explore a lighter, natural look or a different stain color. The wood species and its condition still shape the result.

Visit our Centennial showroom to explore colors for your home. We help narrow your shortlist, then make samples on your own floor before you choose.

PLAN THE WHOLE PROJECT

Floors, repairs
and stairs.

Repair what needs attention.

We assess damaged boards and replace isolated problem areas where appropriate before refinishing. Existing wood, age and wear affect how closely a repair will blend.

Bring the stairs into the plan.

Refinish your hardwood stairs alongside your floors and discuss coordinating the color and finish. Stair work is quoted separately by step or component.

UNDERSTAND YOUR OPTIONS

Choose your finish.

STANDARD · BASE PRICE

Water-based

Our usual recommendation for residential projects. Explore a clear, natural look with generally less odor and faster drying than oil-based finish.

STANDARD · BASE PRICE

Oil-based

A warmer appearance that can amber over time. Allow for stronger odor and longer drying and curing times when planning your project.

OPTIONAL · ADDITIONAL CHARGE

Commercial water-based

An upgrade for demanding wear needs. We review the product, care requirements and additional cost with you in the written estimate.

Standard refinishing typically costs $4–$5 per sq. ft., with a $1,500 minimum. Your estimate confirms repairs, stair work, finish upgrades and the complete project scope.
