Installation & details
New floors, planned around the room, the material and what lies underneath.
Solid and engineered hardwood, selected and installed for your space. We help you consider species, board width, grade, layout and finish, then choose a suitable installation method for the flooring and subfloor.
Nail-down · Glue-assist · Full-spread glue-down · Prefinished and site-finished flooring
Create a more distinctive floor with a planned pattern. We work through direction, scale, room layout and the way the pattern meets doorways and adjoining spaces before installation.
Herringbone · Chevron · Layout planning · Coordinated transitions
LVP can be a practical choice when vinyl suits the room and the way it is used. We plan the installation around the selected product, subfloor condition, moisture requirements and room-to-room transitions.
Click-lock or glue-down products · Layout planning · Subfloor preparation · Trim and transitions
Tile installation for residential and commercial flooring projects. We review the tile, layout, substrate and transition to neighboring floors so the installation fits the space.
Tile layout · Suitable surface preparation · Installation · Finished floor transitions
A finished floor depends on what is underneath it. We assess the existing surface and include suitable preparation, patching or leveling in the project scope to meet the selected flooring’s requirements.
Preparation depends on the site and flooring product. Moisture concerns need to be addressed before new flooring goes down.
The small pieces make the work feel complete. Coordinate shoe molding, reducers, thresholds, stair nosings and floor vents with the flooring and neighboring surfaces.

Restoration & repairs
From refreshing a protective finish to restoring the wood beneath it, the right approach starts with an assessment.
Restore worn hardwood or give it a different look. We sand suitable floors back to bare wood, prepare the surface and apply the selected color, sealer and finish.
Dust-containment equipment helps reduce airborne sanding dust; it does not make the process completely dust-free.
When the wood is in good condition but the finish is showing wear, a recoat may be enough. We prepare a compatible existing finish and add a new protective coat without sanding the floor back to bare wood.
A recoat does not remove deep scratches, dents or stains in the wood. Wax, polish and other residue can affect whether the floor is a candidate.
Keep the natural character of the wood, lighten the overall look or choose a richer tone. We work with Bona color, sealer and finish systems and help you compare the options on the wood you actually have.
Wood species, age and lighting affect the final appearance. Samples help set the right expectations.
Address damaged boards, worn areas and the places where new flooring meets old. We consider species, dimensions, grain, grade and finish when planning replacement boards or extending an existing floor.
A close match may require refinishing a larger area. New and older wood will not always look identical.
Connect your flooring from one level to the next. We review existing stair surfaces and plan treads, risers, landings and nosing details alongside the surrounding floor.

Professional floor renewal
Professional cleaning, resilient-floor renewal and wood sport-floor refinishing, with a process selected after inspecting the existing surface.
Machine-assisted cleaning for suitable finished hardwood floors, addressing dirt and surface buildup beyond routine maintenance. We assess the finish and choose a compatible cleaning process.
Deep cleaning does not replace a worn finish or remove damage in the wood. We’ll advise when recoating or refinishing is the better route.
Renew compatible existing vinyl and luxury vinyl tile floors through appropriate surface preparation and a suitable Bona resilient-floor coating system.
We inspect the floor and confirm compatibility with a test area before recommending the process. Not every floor is a candidate, and damaged material may require repair or replacement.
Sanding, sealing and finishing for suitable hardwood gym and sport floors, using a system selected for the floor’s condition and intended use.
We review the existing finish, sandable wood and facility requirements before defining the scope. Return-to-use timing depends on the selected products and site conditions.
Bona Certified Craftsman
We work with compatible products and a process suited to the floor. We’ll explain the products included in your project rather than assume every floor needs the same treatment.
Adhesive and preparation choices matched to the flooring and subfloor.
Abrasives and dust containment for a prepared wood surface.
Stain and coloration choices that work with the species and desired tone.
Sealer and finish selected for appearance, sheen and expected use.
Cleaning and maintenance guidance for the completed floor.
Before you get started
Some can, but not all. The wear-layer thickness, floor condition, product construction and previous sanding determine what is possible. We assess the floor before recommending sanding.
A standard recoat refreshes the protective finish rather than changing the stain color. A substantial color change usually calls for sanding and refinishing, if the floor is suitable.
Dust containment helps capture dust during sanding and keeps the process cleaner than sanding without collection. It does not mean there will be no dust, and the space still needs preparation and cleanup.
We assess the species, size, grade and finish and work toward a coordinated result. Age, sunlight and natural variation affect the match, so an exact or invisible match cannot always be achieved.
Drying, curing and return-to-use instructions depend on the products and site conditions. We’ll explain when it is appropriate to walk on the floor, move furniture back and replace rugs for the selected finish.
