Hardwood refinished 🛠️
A lot of people think that once a hardwood floor gets severely stained, it’s a lost cause. We hear it all the time—homeowners thinking their only option is to tear it all out and start over.
That was exactly the case with this project. These hardwood floors and stairs had severe deep-set stains, and the owner was convinced they weren't savable.
But saving beautiful wood is what we do.
Here is the truth about hardwood restoration: severe stains don't just sand out. If you just hit them with a sander and throw a light coat on, those dark spots are going to stare right back at you. That’s where experience and knowledge come into play. To mask those deep stains, your color options get a lot more limited, and you have to know exactly how different pigments react with the wood.
For this project, we used Jacobean. It’s a rich, deep tone, and the specific pigments in it work incredibly well to blend and mask severe staining rather than highlighting it like other colors do.
Swipe through the photos to see the transformation. From what looked like a total teardown to a beautiful, seamless, high-end finish. We saved the history, saved the original hardwood, and saved the customer a ton of money.
If your floors have seen better days and you’ve been told they’re too far gone, give us a call before you rip them out. Let’s see what we can save for you.
