Columbus is full of beautiful original hardwood floors hidden under decades of wear. Our refinishing process reveals these treasures while addressing Central Ohio's specific challenges. For 1920s Tudors, we carefully preserve intricate parquet details. In 1970s ranches, we remove orange-toned finishes to reveal the wood's natural character.
We use dust-contained sanding systems to minimize disruption in occupied homes. Our multi-step finishing process includes grain-filling for oak floors and specialty sealants that resist winter salt damage. The result is floors that look historically appropriate but meet modern durability standards.
From German Village's narrow plank floors to Dublin's expansive great rooms, we adapt our techniques to each home's unique needs. Many clients are amazed to discover quality hardwood beneath their carpets.
