Below, we explain how a transformation is made possible during
our dustless hardwood floor refinishing process.
Pre-sanding
If you have carpet on your hardwood floors at this time, the
first step is to remove it. We provide complete carpet removal surface, including the
disposal of all related materials.
Repairs
At this time,
all repairs, which often require the replacement of existing boards with undamaged,
reclaimed or new wood, occur before the sanding process.
Dustless
Sanding
To remove the floor finish, including any build up of
wax or dirt, we use coarse grit sandpaper, working up to a finer grit.
Thoughtful sanding will ensure the minimum amount of actual wood is
removed from your floors. The depth of the sanding will be influenced by the overall
condition of the floor including the existence of deep scratches, dents and
stains.
Our dustless hardwood floor refinishing system
ensures dust, finish, dirt and wax is contained at the sanding source before becoming
airborne. Keeping your home clean and free of contaminants.
Buffing
Buffing the entire hardwood floor with an abrasive screen blends
the remaining fine sanding marks to make them virtually invisible to the
unaided eye.
Staining
At this point, if
a stain has been selected, the staining process begins. To help choose the color that best
fits your style; we will install a medium size test area on your floor.
We maintain an inventory of all Minwax stain colors in our vans which allows
us to provide several color samples on your floor. You will know exactly
what the final outcome will be for the colors your may be considering –
no trying to guess off little stain charts or sample boards.
Finishing
Process
Your choice of either 3 coats of professional
grade oil-based polyurethane or 4 coats of the best water-based polyurethane
finish are applied over the course of the next several days. Drying times will vary
depending on your choice of stain color, oil- or water-based polyurethane,
and weather conditions.
Between each coat of finish, the floors will
be buffed with an abrasive screen and the perimeter of the floors hand-sanded in
preparation for the next coat.
In every case, after we have refinished
your floors, we will provide you with specific guidance before you plan
to move back your furniture. Given that area rugs cover larger sections of
floor, we recommend that they remain off the still-curing floors for 2-4 weeks.

Dust-Free Sanding DCS…What and Why?
DCS
stands for Dust Containment Sanding. Why is it revolutionary? Not only does it save you
time, it is the healthiest available option for you, your family and even your pets. DCS eliminates
airborne particles which traditional sanding methods cannot. With DCS you will not have dust
nestling in your air ducts or lingering in your lungs. Particulate matter won’t mess up
your home furnishings, or settle into your new glossy coat of finish. It’s the safe and easy choice.
E.F.C. offers the most innovative DCS design. The Bona Atomic
Trailer System is Bona‘s most powerful dust containment system. It is trailer-mounted, and industrial
size. It attaches to a gas powered engine outside of the home, which significantly increases
airflow and dust extraction.
Dust-Free Sanding
– Yes, It Exists!
The days of hanging plastic, covering every surface,
and vacating your home for a dusty nightmare are over. Bona‘s innovative dust free sander,
the Bona Atomic DCS, connects a powerful vacuum motor to sanding equipment. The combination virtually
eliminates airborne dust generated while sanding. At the same time, Bona‘s Atomic Dust
Containment Systems are the most advanced and powerful dust containment systems in the world. They
are capable of reducing dust far beyond even what traditional sanding generates.
What to Expect on the Job Before Sand & Refinish/ Initial finish?
Before you begin, you should list your expectations and research your
needs. Educate yourself on the process and products you’d like to use. Once you know your
expectations, needs and products, you will feel comfortable and confident about the investment you are
making, and you can begin getting quotes. The cost of the job will vary, depending on the
contractor’s expertise, quality of work, and the products used. Some estimates are itemized, and
some are comprehensive totals for the scope of the work. Just remember that estimates are just
that – ESTIMATES. Everything promised by the contractor should be included in the final
contract. Warranties and guarantees, work hours and project duration should also be discussed and included.
You should also ask your contractor for a portfolio, specification sheets or brochures on
products to be used. If someone in the home has chemical sensitivities, ask your contractor for a copy
of the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for all the products being used. Your physician can then advise
accordingly.
What to Expect on the Job During
Potential delays are out there. If you can’t determine what products are
currently on your floors, it could lengthen the process. Also, temperature and relative humidity
can affect your floors’ dry times. The standard for a hardwood floor is at least three
coats. This consists of one seal coat (which may be the stain) and two coats of finish. Additional
coats of finish may be applied depending on need. There is no need to vacate your home. Bona
systems have low-VOC’s, no harmful fumes and fast dry times. You will be back on your floor in no time.
Of course, Bona Systems are GREENGUARD certified for indoor air quality, making them safe for
your family and home. Bona’s systems are also safe for your pets. However, it is a good
idea to keep them off the floors until the finish is fully cured. This minimizes contamination,
and prevents dirt and hair from collecting in the polyurethane coating of your floor.
What to Expect on the Job After?
Bona
Systems minimize clean-up. Since sanding is dust-free, there is no time wasted hanging and removing
plastic. A floor’s finish is susceptible to scuffing and scratching until it is fully
cured. Yet, your floor can typically be walked on with stocking feet in just 3-4 hours. Furniture
can be placed back on the floor (not dragged) in 72 hours. Area rugs can be put down after one week
– when the finish is fully cured. Maintenance depends on the amount of traffic you have
in your home. If you have children and pets, you will want to clean more regularly. We recommend
dusting your floors with a dust mop daily, or every other day. You should also clean your floors regularly
with a waterborne, non-toxic formula specifically formulated for hardwood floors. The Bona
Hardwood Floor Mop is an easy and effective tool to start with!
Choosing
the Right Help
Selecting industry professionals to assist you
takes time and patience. Because every situation is different, it is vital to be well-informed
and do the necessary research. Find a contractor you are comfortable working with. Selecting the
right dealer for materials is also important. You should purchase your hardwood floor from a
specialized dealer who not only sells flooring but can also advise you on achieving your desired result according
to your budget, priorities, tastes and vision.
