Expert Sanding for a Flawless Foundation

Hardwood floor sanding is the foundation of a successful refinishing or restoration project. Done right, it removes old finishes, smooths out imperfections, and preps the wood for stain and sealant. Done poorly, it can leave swirl marks, gouges, and uneven results.

At Woodfloor Masters, we’ve been sanding hardwood floors throughout Southwest Washington for over 20 years — from original fir floors in older homes to new oak planks in custom builds. Whether your floors are dull, scratched, uneven, or stained, our professional sanding team delivers precision results with minimal mess.

Our multi-step sanding process ensures a smooth surface, consistent color absorption, and long-term performance of your solid hardwood floors.

What Our Floor Sanding Services Include

Full-Service Sanding

We sand down to bare wood using commercial-grade belt and orbital sanders — removing old finishes, surface damage, and uneven spots.

Edge & Corner Sanding

We use specialty tools to carefully sand edges, baseboards, and tight areas where big machines can’t reach.

Dust Containment

Our HEPA vacuum attachments capture 95% of airborne dust for a cleaner, healthier job site.

Fine Grit Final Pass

We finish with high-grit sanding (up to 120+) to create a smooth, splinter-free surface ready for stain or sealant.

Why Dustless Sanding Matters

Traditional sanding creates clouds of fine wood dust that can irritate allergies, settle into vents, and linger for weeks. That’s why we use low-dust equipment with built-in filtration systems to keep your air clean and your home safe — especially important for families with:

  • Small children
  • Pets
  • Asthma or allergy concerns

Our system traps dust at the source, minimizing cleanup and making the process more convenient for homeowners.

When You Need Floor Sanding

We recommend sanding when:

  • You want to change the color of your floors
  • Your current finish is worn, scratched, or dull
  • There are deep scratches or gouges
  • The floor is uneven or cupped from moisture
  • You’re blending new boards into old flooring
  • You want to apply a fresh coat of polyurethane or switch finish types

FAQs – Hardwood Floor Sanding

Yes — sanding is required to remove the old finish and allow new stain or sealer to bond properly.

It depends on the thickness of the wear layer. If the top layer is thick enough (typically 2mm+), it can be sanded once or twice.

Not with us! Our low-dust system keeps your home clean and air safe — capturing 95%+ of fine wood dust during sanding.

Sometimes. Surface stains usually come out, but deep, black stains may require board replacement.

If the wood is solid and the damage is only cosmetic, sanding is far more affordable and sustainable than replacing.

Most projects take 1–3 days depending on the square footage, type of wood, and condition.
