Ann Arbor's older homes — from Old West Side Victorians to Burns Park bungalows — often hide old-growth oak and maple under decades of wear. We've been refinishing floors across Washtenaw County since 2010, and we treat every floor like it's our own.
Every refinish is protected by our written 5-year finish guarantee — and installation labor by a 2-year guarantee. Most refinishers won’t put a number in writing. We do, because we’re there until you’re happy.
Our clients rave about the transformation we bring to their homes. From start to finish, we prioritize your satisfaction, ensuring you love the final result.
Say goodbye to scratches, dullness, and worn-out wood floors. Our professional hardwood floor refinishing service brings back the natural beauty of your floors, making them look brand new. Many Ann Arbor homes built before 1940 still have their original old-growth hardwood under the wear — wood you can’t buy new today. Refinishing keeps it. The photos here are a real Ann Arbor job: the same red oak, before and after our crew refinished it.
Our job records show more than 450 Ann Arbor floors since 2018, and the job splits cleanly in two depending on which part of town you are in.
The pre-war neighborhoods near downtown and the university were laid with narrow oak strip — often two and a quarter inches or less, sometimes quarter-sawn, occasionally maple. Narrow boards mean more seams per square foot, which means more edges to sand evenly and a floor that punishes a rushed job. They also tend to have had a long life already, so the first thing worth knowing is how much wear layer is left.
The post-war and later subdivisions out toward the edges are wider, plainer oak with far more thickness in hand. Different floor, different conversation.
The other Ann Arbor factor is rentals. A floor that has taken a decade of student tenancies is not usually damaged so much as tired — and a full sand and finish often brings it back further than owners expect.
It all starts with a free in-home estimate. We walk the floors with you, talk through options and timing, and answer every question — no pressure, no surprises. When the project begins, we seal off the areas we’re not working in and remove any carpet, revealing what will soon be beautifully finished hardwood.
Next, we help you choose your color. You’ll see real samples — and once the old finish has been sanded away, we apply your top choices directly on your own floor, so you can see exactly how each color looks with your cabinets and walls before we commit to anything.
Then the transformation begins. Using an array of professional sanding equipment and progressively finer grits, our crew removes the old finish and prepares the wood for its new one. Our machines and vacuum systems capture the great majority of the dust as we work.
Finally, your chosen stain is applied carefully and evenly, then sealed under durable coats of polyurethane — classic gloss or a more contemporary satin, with low-to-no-VOC options available. Floors are typically walkable in about 24 hours; give it two to three days before moving furniture back.
Why go through the hassle and expense of ripping out your existing hardwood floors when you can simply refinish and restore them?
The truth is, beneath the years of wear, scratches, and dirt, your floors still have life in them. Refinishing and restoring your hardwood floors can save you thousands of dollars compared to installing new flooring.
Think about it: replacing hardwood floors costs far more than refinishing them — often several times the price. That’s a huge difference, especially when you consider that refinishing can extend the life of your wood floors by 10 to 15 years.
Plus, there’s the environmental factor. Refinishing is a much greener option, as it reduces waste and conserves the natural resources needed to produce new flooring. The refinishing process is quicker and less disruptive than a full replacement, meaning less downtime and a quicker return to enjoying your beautifully restored home.
Our expert team is here to bring out the hidden beauty of your hardwood floors with our professional refinishing services. You’ll be amazed at how a little TLC can make your floors look brand new again—without the hefty price tag of replacement.
So, why replace when you can refinish? It’s more cost-effective, eco-friendly, and keeps the character of your home intact. Let us help you fall back in love with your floors—at a fraction of the cost and effort.
We know that home improvement projects can come with its own set of challenges and surprises. These costs can add up, so we offer financing options for our customers to allow for purchasing flexibility. We offer financing through GreenSky.

Ann Arbor floors we have refinished recently. Every dot below is a real floor our crew has refinished or installed — not a stock map, our actual work, all over town.
Loading our completed projects…
Every Ann Arbor project is priced on square footage, floor condition, and finish choices, so instead of a guess we give a free, firm in-home estimate — no pressure, no surprises. What we can say up front: refinishing consistently costs far less than replacing hardwood, often several times less.
Real hardwood sanding always creates some dust — any company promising otherwise is overselling. Our machines capture roughly 90–95% of it, and we seal off the rooms we’re not working in. We work hard to leave your home as clean as we found it.
Most Ann Arbor homes are finished in a few days, depending on square footage and stain choices. Floors are walkable in about 24 hours; we recommend keeping furniture off for two to three days. You’ll get an exact timeline with your estimate.
Yes — from the Old West Side and Burns Park to Kerrytown, Water Hill, and Ann Arbor Hills, plus the surrounding Washtenaw County communities. We’ve served Ann Arbor from our Livonia shop since 2010.
Usually, yes — and they’re worth saving. Homes on the Old West Side and in Burns Park often hide old-growth oak and maple you can’t buy new today. Unless boards are structurally gone, careful sanding, a stain sampled on your actual floor, and a durable finish bring them back — protected by our 5-year finish guarantee.
Some families stay, and some choose to leave for a night or two — it mostly depends on your home’s layout. If you can reach bedrooms and a bathroom without crossing the new floor, staying in another part of the house works fine. The finish odors can be strong for a day or two, so we recommend opening windows when possible — and we offer lower-odor, low- and no-VOC finish options if that’s a concern. We’ll walk through what fits your home at your free estimate — honestly, so there are no surprises.
