A little bit about our process

There is a lot involved in refinishing a wood floor. We listed a brief outline of the major steps involved in the sanding are finishing process:

Preparation

is key

Before we start sanding, we take the necessary steps to ensure a clean, efficient, and hassle-free process. We seal off rooms to contain dust, set up our equipment, and thoroughly sweep and vacuum the area.

We also inspect the floor for any protruding nails, loose boards, and take care of any necessary repairs to ensure a smooth sanding process.

Removal of the existing finish

We start by removing the existing finish - in case of refinishing - to take the floor back to the raw wood. In this step is also where we level and take out height difference between boards.

It involves a number of passes with different grits and machines.

Fine and detail sanding

In the fine sanding stage, we use a fine grid to remove previous sanding scratches and smooth the floor.

For this process we also use multiple machines, specially a planetary sander.

Staining of the floors

After finished sanded and vacuumed, we are ready to start the staining process.

In this process is where we completely change the color of the floors, with 36 stock stain colors and custom combinations, we can pretty much achieve basically any color that you want.

Applying the finish coats.

The floors are now ready to be coated.

We offer different types of finishes and sealers, and this process normally involves 3 coats.

Between the coats, the floor is lightly abraded and then vacuumed.

After the final coat is dry, your floor is finished and ready to be used!

What Our Customers Say

Kyle refinished our original 1926 hardwood floors and was very thorough and detailed. He was responsive and answered all of our questions. There were a few things that needed fixed after the fact and he and his guys came back promptly to fix them. They had to patch a few areas on the floor and you can’t tell the between the original floor and their repairs because it blends so seamlessly. We’re very please with the work they did (we get compliments on our floor all the time) and I would absolutely recommend them.

Four flooring companies came in to assess the damage to our gouged maple kitchen floor caused by an appliance installation and walked away shaking their heads. Then HQ Flooring arrived ... they are artists and magicians. We remain in disbelief over what they were able to accomplish.

Stephen Yates

HQ flooring was amazing! From start to finish Ricardo went over the whole process, showed us multiple samples, explained the sheen and difference in polyurethane. He answered all of questions, no matter if early or late in the day. Ricardo and his crew installed some new hardwood flooring, sanded and stained! They did an amazing job with the floors and I highly recommend them! Thank you!

Richard Dinapoli Jr

Had a terrific experience with Caio and the team at HQ Flooring! They did a fantastic job refinishing our hardwood floors and replacing some old carpeting with luxury vinyl plank flooring. The entire process was fast, easy, and professional from start to finish. I really appreciated Caio taking the time to explain each step of the process and what we could expect from the finished result. When I was having trouble choosing a finish for the hardwood, he went above and beyond by sanding a small section of the floor and applying four different finishes so I could see exactly how each one would look on our actual floor. That made the decision so much easier. I was blown away by how beautiful the floors looked when everything was finished. Caio even refinished an additional room at no extra charge just to make sure everything looked consistent throughout the house. That kind of attention to detail and commitment to doing the job right really stood out to me. I truly appreciate Caio and the HQ Flooring team for going above and beyond. I would highly recommend HQ Flooring to anyone looking for quality flooring work and excellent customer service!

Kyle and his team did an exceptional job refinishing our floor, and honestly, the quality of their work genuinely surpassed our expectations. Even though it was a small job, Kyle took the time during the estimate to thoroughly explain everything, showing a level of professionalism that is hard to find. The project started and finished right on time, and the pricing was reasonable. Working with Kyle was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!
