Featured project
Black Mountain Red Oak Refinish
Black Mountain, NC
This red oak floor had the usual wear pattern: a tired, ambered finish in the traffic paths, scuffs and scratches where chairs had been dragged, and the overall flat look that happens when a waterborne or oil-modified finish has finally given up after years of service.

- Red oak, 3¼" solid plank

Premium finish systems
Different homes need different finishes.
A family with two dogs and a quiet second-floor bedroom should not get the same finish. We choose from a short list of systems we trust and match one to how you actually live.

Hardwax Oil vs Polyurethane
Two good finishes that fail in completely different ways. Understanding how each one ages is more useful than comparing durability ratings.

Planetary Sanding vs Drum Sanding

In their words
“Two other companies told us the floors had to go. Travis pulled a vent, showed us how much oak was left, and refinished them for a fraction of the cost.”
“He talked us out of the more expensive finish. Explained exactly why it was wrong for a house with two labs, and he was right.”
“We stayed in the house the whole week and never found dust on the kitchen counters.”
