Wood floor sanding used to be a dust nightmare. Not anymore. Airborne wood dust, a known carcinogen, is a job site hazard. We contain the dust with an above industry dust containment system using HEPA filters. Easier, cleaner, safer! That is our goal while providing quality floor refinishing and dust free sanding in your home.
At Grades Hardwoods we offer floor cleaning, refinishing wood floors and maintenance. We help our clients to make the most out of their wood floors and advise them how to best maintain them. This could be a screen and recoat, which is the best kept secret in the hardwood flooring industry. But it shouldn’t be because it can save you time and money over the life of your floor.
When your floor has built-up dirt, grime and scuff marks and daily maintenance isn’t enough to cut through ground-in dirt on your floors, Grades Deep Clean System will bring it back to life. This deep clean and polish system is the quickest and easiest way to remove all the dirt, grime, and build-up on your wood flooring. With no need to vacate your home, this system protects your investment and keeps wood floors looking beautiful.

"Uli was excellent to work with, always quick to respond, fair on pricing and showed up on time! We had hardwood floors that in a short four year span had taken a beating from everyone being home over the pandemic and our kids and dogs being home from college. We had dull floors with some surface scratches as well as some deep groove scratches. not only was Uli able to make those surface scratches disappear he color corrected the deeper groves and they are no longer noticeable! I highly recommend Uli and Grades Hardwoods to make your hardwoods look brand new again! I could not be happier with the results - thank you Uli!"

From an aesthetic perspective, there is no comparison to the beauty and warmth of unfinished hardwood flooring that is sanded and finished on site by an expert flooring craftsman. However, prefinished flooring is a much faster process, you can walk on it right after it is installed. It’s done!
Unfinished new or refinished hardwood flooring as an investment in your home, you can be assured that it is going to be there for a long time. The hardwood floor that you choose is something that you will see, walk on, and appreciate every day, and for those reasons, we believe that the extra days required for on-site sanding and finishing is of minimal inconvenience when compared with the many years that you will enjoy your new or refinished hardwood floors.
Over time, both prefinished and unfinished flooring will get some surface scratches from normal wear and tear. Unfinished flooring that has been treated with a water based or an oil based polyurethane can be buffed and re-coated every few years to revitalize the top coat of poly and remove surface scratches. We highly recommend you maintained your hardwood floors by doing this process every couple of years, homeowners will never need a complete sanding! This buff and coat procedure is not an option for prefinished flooring. Prefinished flooring can be sanded down to raw wood, but due to the high number of polyurethane coats applied in the factory, the wood must be sanded down deeper into the material than a hardwood floor that was sanded and treated on site. This means that a prefinished floor cannot be sanded as many times as an unfinished floor as it will more quickly become too thin to re-sand. And with prefinished flooring, the beveled edge will be decreased with sanding, but it will never go away completely.
We refinish both prefinished and unfinished flooring, feel free to call us for advice!
