1

Inspection & Preparation

We inspect your Central Florida hardwood floors for damage, loose boards, and protruding nails. All furniture is removed and the room is sealed to contain dust.

2

Coarse Sanding (36-40 Grit)

First pass with coarse sandpaper removes old finish, deep scratches, and surface damage. This reveals fresh wood and levels the floor surface.

3

Medium Sanding (60-80 Grit)

Second pass with medium grit smooths the wood surface and removes scratches left by coarse sanding. Floor begins to look smooth and even.

4

Fine Sanding (100-120 Grit)

Final sanding pass creates a perfectly smooth surface ready for stain or finish. This step is critical for achieving a flawless final result.

5

Edge & Detail Sanding

Edge sanders and our Festool rotary palm sander reach corners, edges, and tight spaces that large drum sanders can't access. Ensures uniform appearance throughout.

6

Thorough Cleaning

Complete dust removal using HEPA vacuums and tack cloths. Floor must be perfectly clean before staining or finishing begins.

When to Sand Your Hardwood Floors

Your Central Florida hardwood floors need sanding when you notice:

  • Deep scratches, gouges, or dents that penetrate the finish
  • Worn finish exposing bare wood in high-traffic areas
  • Water stains or black marks from moisture damage
  • Uneven floor surface or cupping/warping
  • Discoloration or fading from sun exposure
  • Pet damage including scratches and urine stains
  • Desire to change stain color or wood tone

Note: Most hardwood floors can be sanded 3-5 times in their lifetime. We'll assess your floor thickness and advise if sanding is appropriate.

We serve all Central Florida including Orlando, Winter Park, Maitland, Lake Mary, Altamonte Springs, Casselberry, Longwood, Oviedo, Sanford, and surrounding areas. Our team brings over 15 years of experience and 500+ completed projects to every sanding job.

Common Questions About Hardwood Floor Sanding

How do I know if my floors need sanding or just a buff & coat?

If your floors have surface scratches, dullness, or minor finish wear—buff & coat is sufficient. If you see deep scratches, stains in the wood, uneven areas, or want to change the stain color, full sanding is needed.

What is dustless floor sanding?

Dustless sanding uses professional vacuums connected directly to sanding machines to capture 99% of dust at the source. This keeps your Central Florida home clean and dramatically reduces airborne particles during the sanding process.

How many times can hardwood floors be sanded?

Solid 3/4" hardwood can typically be sanded 5-7 times over its lifetime. Engineered hardwood depends on the wear layer—usually 1-3 times. We measure wear layer thickness during our free consultation to advise you properly.

How long does floor sanding take?

Sanding a typical room (200-300 sq ft) takes 4-8 hours. A full home can take 2-3 days. This is followed by optional staining and 2-3 coats of finish with drying time, adding another 2-3 days total.
