Worn, scratched or dated hardwood does not have to be replaced. With professional sanding and finishing, MAYA Flooring & Painting can take a tired floor and make it look brand new — often for a fraction of the cost of replacement.
Our refinishing service covers everything from dustless sanding and custom staining to the durable protective topcoats that keep your floors beautiful for years. If you have hardwood under old carpet or decades of wear, we can almost certainly bring it back.
What Floor Refinishing Includes
Refinishing is a multi-step craft. We start by sanding away the old finish and surface damage down to fresh, bare wood, progressing through finer grits for a perfectly smooth surface. We then address any gaps, nail holes or minor repairs before staining.
Stain is where your floor's character is set. From natural and warm honey tones to deep walnut and modern dark finishes, we help you choose a color that suits your home and apply it evenly for a consistent, rich result. Finally we seal everything with protective topcoats that resist scratches, spills and everyday wear.
- Sand to bare wood through progressive grits
- Gap filling and minor board repairs
- Custom stain selection and even application
- Durable protective topcoats (oil or water-based)
Dustless Sanding for a Cleaner Project
Traditional floor sanding can coat an entire home in fine dust. Our dustless sanding system captures the vast majority of dust at the source, keeping your home cleaner, your air healthier, and the cleanup dramatically smaller. It is better for you, better for your belongings, and better for the finish itself.
A cleaner sanding process also means a smoother final coat — less airborne dust settling into wet finish translates directly into a glassier, more professional result.
Choosing Stains and Finishes
The finish you choose affects both look and durability. Oil-based finishes add warmth and a classic amber tone and are extremely durable, while water-based finishes dry faster, stay clearer over time, and have lower odor. Sheen levels — from matte to satin to semi-gloss — change how the floor reads and how much it shows footprints and wear.
We bring samples and explain the trade-offs so you can make a confident choice. For busy households with kids and pets, we will steer you toward the most forgiving combinations without sacrificing the look you want.
How Long Refinishing Takes and What to Expect
Most refinishing projects take three to five days from first sanding to final cure, depending on square footage, the number of coats, and the finish type. Oil-based finishes need more cure time than water-based, and we will give you a clear schedule up front including when you can walk on the floors and when to move furniture back.
We protect adjacent rooms, communicate each day's plan, and leave your space clean. The goal is a floor you are thrilled with and a process that respects your home and your time.
Refinishing vs. Replacement
If your hardwood is structurally sound and has enough thickness left for sanding, refinishing is almost always the smarter investment. It costs less, creates less disruption, and preserves the original character of the wood. We will measure and inspect your floors and tell you honestly whether refinishing is the right call or whether replacement makes more sense.
