First we sand the floor...

We will sand the existing floor to a flat and even surface, removing all of the existing finish and stain to expose the wood underneath.

...then reduce blemishes 

The exposed wood is smoothed, palm-sanded, and screened to minimize blemishes.

Next we apply color...

The wood grain is prepared with a water technique and stain is then applied to the floor in the desired color.

• ...and finish up with a protective layer.

 Based on your preference, oil or water-based polyurethane is applied to the floor to protect it.  Water-based does not yellow over time and makes the floor look more natural. Oil-based will yellow over time, but is more durable and resistant to scratches than a water-based finish.

As a Bona Certified Craftsman ®, you can be sure we use the products and they will be properly applied. Read more about what that means here.
