Frequently Asked Questions

We exclusively use Bona hardwood coating products. Bona's industry-leading waterborne concerns.

While it's not mandatory to vacate your home during floor renovations, we recommend aligning the project with periods you plan to be away to minimize disruptions. Floor renovation involves removing items from the floors, which can temporarily disrupt your living routine. Additionally, there may be some noise and allergens during the sanding process.

The Bona waterborne finishes we use have finishes and sealers are VOC-compliant, promoting a healthier environment compared to most other finishes. The cleanest finishing process available, Bona ensures the utmost durability and beauty for hardwood floors while prioritizing health and environmental limited odor and are GREENGUARD certified for indoor air quality. If a stain is applied, some fumes similar to paint may be noticeable.

The timeline varies based on factors such as size, layout, existing floor wear and tear, prep work needed, and whether it's a commercial or residential job. For a precise estimate, we need to assess the specific details of the job.

Remove all furniture, rugs, drapes, and knick-knacks from the rooms being refinished. Consider removing wall hangings to prevent possible damage from the sanding machine vibrations. If you're tearing out carpet over existing hardwood, remove all nails and staples. We recommend temporarily relocating pets due as they may have a sensitivity to the noise from the machines.

Water-based finishes typically cure within 24 hours, allowing you to return your house to order. In more humid conditions, curing time may slightly increase.
We recommend waiting 1 - 3 weeks before placing area rugs.
