Columbus homes built between 1920-1950 often contain beautiful original hardwood hidden under layers of carpet. Our multi-step refinishing process brings these floors back to life while addressing common Ohio climate challenges.
We begin by testing for moisture content - crucial in our humid summers and dry winters. After careful sanding with dust containment systems, we apply premium finishes that resist scratching from winter grit and salt. For homes in flood-prone areas like the Olentangy River valley, we can incorporate water-resistant sealants.
Special techniques preserve delicate grain patterns in older homes, particularly important for German Village's historic properties. The final buffing creates a lustrous shine that lasts through countless Ohio seasons.
