blog post Finishing / Refinishing hardwood floors in Chicago: Dustless sanding

Refinishing the floor is usually the only option to regain the original beauty of wood floors.

 

General Hardwood Flooring Chicago is a professional company specializing in the finishing and refinishing of hardwood floors in the Chicago area. Our team of skilled craftsmen is dedicated to bringing the natural beauty of your hardwood floors back to life using the latest techniques and equipment, including dustless sanding.

Dustless sanding is an innovative technique that helps minimize the dust and mess typically associated with traditional floor sanding methods. It involves the use of specialized equipment that connects a high-powered vacuum system directly to the sanding machines. This ensures that dust particles are captured and filtered before they have a chance to spread in the air and throughout your home.

 

Our hardwood floor refinishing process in Chicago is as follows:

  1. Inspection and consultation: Our team will visit your home or business to assess the condition of your hardwood floors and discuss your needs, preferences, and budget. We will provide you with an estimate and help you choose the right finish and stain for your floors.
  2. Preparation: We will remove any furniture, rugs, or other items from the room and cover any remaining items or fixtures to protect them from dust. Our team will also repair or replace damaged planks as necessary.
  3. Dustless sanding: Our professionals will use the dustless sanding system to remove the old finish, stains, and imperfections from your hardwood floors. This process ensures a smooth, even surface for the new finish to adhere to.
  4. Staining: If you’ve chosen to change the color of your floors or enhance the natural wood tones, we will apply a high-quality stain of your choice. We offer a wide range of colors to suit your preferences and complement your home’s décor.
  5. Finishing: We will apply a durable, protective finish to your hardwood floors. This can be a water-based or oil-based polyurethane, depending on your preferences and the specific needs of your floors. This finish will protect your hardwood floors from daily wear and tear, ensuring they remain beautiful for years to come.
  6. Cleanup and final inspection: Our team will meticulously clean up any remaining dust and debris and move your furniture back into place. We will conduct a final inspection to ensure your complete satisfaction with our work.
