Hardwood floor sanding
Floor sanding starts with the condition of the actual wood.
Sanding removes worn finish and can address visible scratches, stains, and older coating layers. Whether a floor can be sanded, how much preparation it needs, and what finish system follows require an in-home assessment of the actual construction and condition.
Current price contextIncluded in the current $6.50/sq-ft full sand-and-refinish base price.The controlled rate covers full sanding, finish coats, and cleanup. Repairs, stairs, furniture moving, special access, and unexpected damage are confirmed on site.

Color is selected against the real floor, not a screen.
Staining can keep a natural direction or change the floor’s color, but the result depends on the actual wood, preparation, light, prior condition, and identified finish system. A screen image cannot guarantee that a stain will look the same across every board or room.
Current price contextQuoted within the written scopeNo separate color-change price is currently published in the controlled published pricing. Any color discussion is confirmed during the in-home assessment.

Small hardwood repairs have clear packages. Larger damage needs a bigger plan.
Scratch and stain repairs are $400 flat. Board replacement is $600 for 1–5 boards or $800 for 6–12 boards. Water damage and large dings or dents use the same board tiers. At 13 or more boards, we stop quoting a repair and talk about a full refinish instead.
Current price context$400 scratch or stain · $600 for 1–5 boards · $800 for 6–12 boardsAt 13 or more boards, use the full-refinish calculator or arrange an in-home visit. We do not publish a board-by-board repair price past 12 boards.

A screen and recoat is for light wear—not a shortcut for every floor.
