How We Do It – Our Hardwood Floor Refinishing Process Guide

At Brazil Floors, we provide expert hardwood floor refinishing services designed to restore beauty, durability, and value to your wood flooring. With advanced equipment, skilled craftsmanship, and 25+ years of experience, our team ensures your hardwood floors look brand new again.

Step 1: Preparing the Floor

Before sanding begins, we carefully prepare the area. Any loose boards are repaired, nails are hammered down, and imperfections are fixed. This step is essential to create a smooth, even surface and ensure a flawless refinishing result.

Step 2: Sanding the Hardwood

We use advanced dustless sanding equipment, including belt sanders and edgers. We choose the right sandpaper grits based on the condition and type of your hardwood floors. This process removes old finishes, scratches, and imperfections, restoring the wood’s natural beauty.

👉 Please note: sanding does produce some noise and mild disruption, but our dustless system minimizes mess.

Step 3: Staining the Floor (Optional)

If you want to update the look of your space, this is when we apply stains or pre-color treatments. A new stain can completely transform the color and style of your flooring.

⚠️ Important: Staining requires skill and precision. That’s why it’s essential to choose a professional team like Brazil Floors, where we combine hardwood floor refinishing expertise with color customization.

Step 4: Applying Multiple Finish Coats

The final step is applying protective finishes—Satin, Semi-Gloss, or High-Gloss—based on your preference. For multi-coat finishes, we abrade the floor between coats and carefully vacuum to remove any debris. This ensures a smooth, contaminant-free, and durable surface.
