Not Every Hardwood Floor Needs Refinishing

Many hardwood floors can be dramatically improved without sanding. Our Bona Power Scrubber deep cleaning system removes years of embedded dirt, contaminants, and residue before applying a protective low-VOC recoat when appropriate. We also deep clean and maintain wire-brushed, matte, satin, and oil-finished hardwood floors using manufacturer-approved methods. Discover whether deep cleaning, recoating, or refinishing is the right solution for your hardwood floors.

• #81 Mission Hills Hardwood Floor Refinishing — Solid White Oak
  San Diego hardwood floor refinishing service in Mission Hills near Washington Street, Sutter Street, and Goldfinch Street. This historic home featured ¾-inch by 2¼-inch select grade, random length, unfinished white oak flooring that had been stained dark and badly damaged. Our floor sanding service restored the old-growth oak by deep cleaning, sanding to a flat surface, and sealing with a natural finish to highlight its original beauty. Expansive rooms of white oak flooring were brought back to life, overlooking the San Diego Airport, Old Town, and the Gaslamp District.

• #83 El Cajon Brazilian Cherry — Before & After

  In this El Cajon home, the solid pre-finished Brazilian cherry flooring had extreme sun fading and heavy surface wear. The first stage shows the floor before sanding, washed out and dull from years of sunlight. After sanding and restoration, the rich deep color of the cherry returned, sealed with a standard oil-based finish to bring out the natural beauty and durability of this exotic hardwood.

• #84 Del Mar Beachfront Condo — Engineered Maple Before & After

  This split-level condo at the bottom of Del Mar Heights Road, right above the beach, had engineered maple floors exposed to decades of sun, salt air, and moisture. The original finish had turned orange with fading and discoloration. The first photo shows the floor during sanding, as we removed the worn finish and restored the surface. The second photo reveals the completed work — a clear sealer applied to bring out the natural maple color in a creamy, balanced tone without turning too yellow or too white. The matte sheen now looks stunning in this oceanfront Del Mar setting near the racetrack, Torrey Pines, Old Del Mar, and adjacent Carmel Valley.

• #85 La Jolla Beach Rental — Red Oak Refinished with Gray Stain

  At this La Jolla beach rental near Bird Rock and La Jolla Boulevard, the homeowner tried to refinish the red oak floors themselves, leaving sanding marks and a poor finish. We were called in to restore them properly. The first photo shows the floor after initial sanding began to remove the failed finish. The second photo reveals the character-grade red oak sanded smooth and finished with a modern gray stain, creating a clean, stylish look. This project sits at the bottom of Mount Soledad, close to Pacific Beach, La Jolla Shores, Nautilus Street, Torrey Pines Road, and Scripps Pier.
