Hardwood Floor Refinishing in the Minneapolis West Metro

We help homeowners restore, refresh, and protect their hardwood floors — whether that means a buff & coat, full refinishing, or new installation.

Hardwood Flooring Services

Buff & Coat

Often the first option we recommend when floors look worn but the wood underneath is still in good shape.

  • Dull finish but wood is intact
  • Light surface scratches
  • High-traffic areas losing sheen
  • Extend the life before full refinishing

Many Hardwood Floors Don’t Need Full Refinishing

Many homeowners assume their floors need sanding when the finish is the only thing that's worn out. A buff & coat restores the shine and protection without touching the wood underneath — and it's done in a single day.

  • Completed in one day with minimal disruption
  • Fraction of the cost of full refinishing
  • Re-protects your floors and extends their life
