Hardwood Floor Refinishing
in Cleveland, OH

Hazelwood Floors, serving the Cleveland, OH area, has the training, experience, and specialized sanding and dust collection equipment to make your old worn out wood flooring look as good as new. 

1. Preparation

We take every possible precaution to return your home to the condition it was before we started. We hang plastic over cabinets and in doorways to help contain any dust our machines don’t collect. 

2. Sanding

Next, we sand the floor using a 3-step sanding progression of a rough, medium, and fine grit sand paper. We will never use a rough grit paper when it’s not needed just to get the job done faster, this eats away at the life of your floor. We even have special sanders that can sand under radiators, cabinets, and in other tight spaces. 

3. Buffing

After sanding, we then buff the floor with a 2-step buffing process. This smooths out the floor and blends all of the areas together. Our first buffing is done with a fine grit sand paper, then to get the floor extra smooth we use an even finer grit sanding screen and buff again. 

4. Corners

In the corners of rooms and other tight spaces, we still use the old method of hand scraping. This ensures we can blend the corners in perfectly with the rest of the floor. 

5. Cleaning

After all the sanding, buffing, and scraping is done, we do a very thorough job of cleaning. This includes vacuuming floors, walls, counters etc. Having a clean working area allows us to get the best possible finish on the floor. 

6. Staining

If you opted to change your floor’s color, this is the step where we add the new stain.  We use a water treatment before all stain jobs, as it opens the pores of the wood to get the richest most even stain color possible. If you just want the natural beauty of the floors to shine through, we skip this step and move on to the finishing step.
