Restore worn hardwood in restaurants, offices and lobbies — without closing for a week.
Dust-contained sanding and a fast-curing commercial finish bring tired hardwood back to life in occupied buildings, phased around your hours instead of around ours.
About This Service
Hardwood in a commercial space takes more traffic than a house ever will, and the floor usually can't sit empty for a week to recover from it. We phase sanding and finishing around your operating hours — nights, weekends, or one section of the floor at a time — so the space stays usable while the work happens.
Dust containment is standard, not an upsell: it is what makes sanding workable next to finished work from another trade, in a shared lobby, or in a space where the neighboring tenant is still open. Water-based, fast-cure finish options get you back on the floor sooner than a traditional oil finish schedule allows.
What's Included
- Site walk and existing finish assessment before pricing
- Dust-contained sanding down to bare wood
- Board repair and stain matching to adjoining areas
- Low-VOC water-based finish options for fast-cure turnaround
- Phased scheduling around business hours, nights or weekends
- Written cure-time guidance so you know exactly when the space reopens
Commercial Hardwood Refinishing Questions, Answered
A single-coat recoat can be walkable same-day to next-day with a fast-cure finish; a full sand-and-refinish typically needs 2–4 days including cure time, depending on finish type and coverage. We give you an exact window before work starts, not after.
Yes — after-hours and weekend scheduling is common for occupied retail, office and restaurant floors. It's priced into the bid up front, not added as a change order once we're on site.
Yes. Water-based commercial finishes cure faster and off-gas less than traditional oil-based finish, which matters when you can't afford a week of downtime.
