Initial Inspection & Moisture Verification
We measure ambient humidity and subfloor moisture using calibrated electronic meters to ensure conditions fall strictly within NWFA installation tolerances.
Dustless Coarse Sanding & Prep
Our 220V continuous belt sanders connected to HEPA multi-stage vacuum extractors remove existing finish while capturing over 95% of airborne particulate.
On-Floor Custom Stain Sampling
We apply 3 to 4 customized stain formulation swatches directly onto your bare sanded hardwood so you can verify the color in your home natural daylight.
Precision Finishing & Buffing
We coat the floor with premium low-VOC commercial finish, abrading between coats to maximize inter-coat adhesion and surface clarity.

We inspect every square foot under oblique lighting with you and provide written cure-time instructions before accepting final payment.
