Services
Hardwood Installation
We install premium prefinished European white oak flooring with standard 7" widths. Our engineered solutions combine durability with aesthetic appeal, offering classic and modern patterns including herringbone. Each installation receives tailored sealer application to enhance natural wood characteristics while ensuring long-lasting protection against daily wear.
Floor Refinishing
Our refinishing process revitalizes existing hardwood through professional scraping, sanding, and coating. Using Bona-certified techniques, we restore character-grade floors while addressing gaps and wear patterns. We employ specialized sealers like ClassicSeal for older homes and NordicSeal for contemporary light finishes that maintain wood grain visibility.
Waterborne Sealers
We apply advanced waterborne sealers that protect hardwood while determining final appearance. Options include NordicSeal for subtle whitewash effects, AmberSeal for traditional golden tones, and IntenseSeal for accentuating natural wood characteristics. These low-VOC solutions offer durable protection with minimal environmental impact compared to traditional oil-based finishes.
Bona-Certified Finishes
As Bona-certified specialists, we use their premium waterborne finish systems that combine durability with aesthetic flexibility. Our expertise includes proper application sequences with multiple coats for optimal protection. We guide clients through Bona's sealer options to achieve desired tones while maintaining floor longevity through proper maintenance protocols.
Wood Repair
We handle comprehensive wood repair from minor scratches to complete board replacement. Our techniques seamlessly integrate new materials with existing floors, including matching historic patterns and color blending. We address structural issues like gaps and warping while maintaining the floor's original character through careful sanding and finishing processes.
