Refinish & Restore: Honoring the Stories Your Floors Carry

Your hardwood floors have seen it all - barefoot mornings, muddy boots, sleepy footsteps, joyful dances, and quiet moments of pause. Over time, these signs of life begin to show. But beneath the wear lies a foundation worth preserving.


At Real Wood Floors, our refinishing and restoration services are about more than just sanding and sealing. They’re about honoring the stories your floors already hold and preparing them for many more to come

Bring Your Floors Back to Life - Beautifully

Hardwood is a timeless investment, and with the right care, it can last through generations. When finishes fade and the surface begins to show its age, a professional refinishing can revive the natural beauty of the wood - and the warmth it brings to your home.

Whether your floors need a gentle refresh or a full revival, we’re ready to help bring them back to life - just like they once brought life to your space.

This isn’t a job for weekend DIYers. It requires precision, specialized tools, and years of experience to avoid over-sanding or uneven finishes. We do it right - because your home deserves nothing less.

The Refinishing Process: A Fresh Start Beneath Your Feet

Hardwood floor refinishing is more than maintenance - it’s restoration with intention. When you invite Real Wood Floors into your home, we begin with a careful evaluation. Sometimes, a deep clean, oiling, or sealing is enough. But when more is needed, we move forward with confidence and care:

  • Assessment & Recommendation – We determine the best path forward for your specific floor.
  • Sanding – Using professional-grade equipment, we remove the worn layers while preserving the integrity of the wood.
  • Cleaning – Every particle of dust is vacuumed to ensure a flawless finish.
  • Staining – Choose from rich, time-tested colors—often from the trusted DuraSeal® collection.
  • Protective Finishing – We apply multiple coats of Bona Traffic HD for long-lasting durability and the sheen of your choice.

Restoration That Respects the Past - And Prepares for the Future

Refinishing is ideal when your floors have lost their sheen or water resistance but aren’t deeply damaged. If you're dealing with more serious concerns like warping, cracking, or missing boards, we also offer hardwood floor repair as a separate, specialized service.


Whatever your floor needs, we’re here to help restore its beauty - and its role in your everyday moments.
