We had the greatest experience with WC flooring! Our stairwell needed a ton of work, the treads were scuffed badly from a poor refinish job from another company. The risers were original wood with many blemishes. The landing had a different wood which needed replacement. The molding was also very beat up. They did an impeccable job. Wilson and his team were also very caring of our home while the project was underway. I highly recommend WC floors!

How Does It Work?
We utilize advanced dustless sanders and machines designed for efficiency and cleanliness. Most of our equipment is either connected to a high-performance vacuum dust collection system, features built-in dust control, or generates minimal dust during operation. While we strive to make the process as dust-free as possible, please note that a small amount of dust may remain after sanding, which can be easily cleaned up once the project is complete. Rest assured, our focus is on leaving your space looking pristine!
Electrical Panel Access
Our sanding equipment requires 220V power, which means we’ll need direct access to your electrical panel to connect our cords. Typically, we assume the panel is located in the basement or garage, but please let us know if it’s elsewhere. To ensure a smooth process, we kindly request a clear and unobstructed path to the breaker box before our team arrives. Your cooperation helps us complete the project efficiently and safely!
Our Floor Refinishing Process
1. Preparing the Work Area
To ensure a smooth and efficient refinishing process, it’s important to prepare your space properly. Here’s a streamlined guide to help you get ready:
- Clear the Area: Remove all furniture, rugs, and items from the workspace.
- Storage Solutions: Collaborate to find a practical storage area or recommend a storage pod if needed. For heavy, awkward, or delicate items (e.g., items with glass or large dimensions), professional movers may be the best option. This ensures safety for both your belongings and our crew.
- Protect Surroundings: Use plastic sheeting to seal vents, doorways, and nearby areas to minimize dust spread.
- Flooring Removal : If old flooring (like carpet) needs removal, check your township’s rules on bulk trash collection. Some municipalities allow curbside collection, while others may have specific disposal requirements.
2: Floor Repairs (If Necessary)
At WC Floors, we handle a variety of repairs to prepare your hardwood for refinishing. Our services include:
- Crack and Gap Filling: Using high-quality wood filler, we eliminate gaps between boards for a seamless look.
- Board Replacement: We replace broken, warped, or heavily damaged boards with matching wood for a flawless blend.
- Sanding Uneven Areas: Leveling uneven planks ensures a smooth surface for refinishing.
- Nail and Staple Removal: We remove protruding nails or staples to create a safe and clean surface for sanding.
- Squeaky Floor Fixes: Reinforce loose boards and subfloors to eliminate annoying squeaks.
3. Sanding The Floor
Sanding removes the old finish and prepares the surface for staining and sealing. The process involves multiple passes with sandpaper of varying grits.
Pass 1: Coarse Sanding: Remove the old finish, deep scratches, and imperfections.
- Sandpaper Grit: We use 36-grit or 40-grit sandpaper for this initial sanding.
Pass 2: Medium Sanding: Smooth the surface and remove any scratches from the coarse sanding.
- Sandpaper Grit: We use 60-grit or 80-grit sandpaper for this pass.
Pass 3: Fine Sanding: Create a smooth, polished surface for staining or finishing.
- Sandpaper Grit: We use 100-grit or 120-grit sandpaper for the final sanding pass.
4. Buffing the Floor
In this crucial step, we employ a high-speed buffer equipped with a 120-grit sanding screen. This process meticulously eliminates minor sanding marks, ensuring an impeccably smooth and even surface that’s ready for staining or finishing. The result is a flawless foundation for the next stage of the refinishing process.
5. Custom Staining (Optional)
Floor staining is where your hardwood’s transformation truly begins. Our staining process includes:
- Color Selection: Choose from a wide range of stain options, from natural wood tones to rich, modern hues.
- Test Swatches: We apply small samples of your chosen stains to ensure the perfect match for your vision.
- Even Application: Using professional-grade tools, we apply the stain evenly to bring out the natural beauty of the wood grain while achieving your desired color.
6. Sealing and Finishing
Once the stain or sealer has dried, we apply a protective finish to enhance durability and sheen. Choose from:
- Matte: Subtle and understated for a modern look.
- Satin: A popular choice offering a soft, polished appearance.
- Glossy: Reflective and elegant for a high-end finish.
We offer both water-based and oil-based finishes to suit your needs:
- Water-Based Finishes: Quick-drying, low-odor, and eco-friendly.
- Oil-Based Finishes: Rich, durable, and traditional.
Buffing Between Coats: To ensures a smooth and polished appearance.
Number of Coats: We apply 2–3 coats of finish for optimal protection and aesthetics

- Dust Removal: Clean up any remaining sanding dust or debris.
- Walkthrough: Review the refinished floors with you to ensure your satisfaction.
- Furniture Replacement: Assist with returning furniture and items to their original place.
- Maintenance Guidance: Provide tips to maintain the beauty and longevity of your refinished floors, such as using protective pads on furniture and avoiding harsh cleaners.
- Revitalize Appearance: Remove scratches and wear, restoring your floor’s natural beauty.
