A detailed process that protects your home
How Our Sanding and Finishing Process Works
Sanding and finishing require more than just removing the old surface. Our process is designed to deliver smooth results while minimizing disruption.
Preparation and protection
Furniture is removed as needed, surrounding areas are protected, and advanced dust containment systems are put in place.
Careful sanding
We remove old finishes, scratches, and surface damage using professional equipment, adjusting the level of sanding to protect the wood.
Staining and sealing
We apply your chosen stain, followed by durable water-based or oil-based finishes to protect the floor and enhance its natural character.
This step-by-step approach helps deliver consistent, long-lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the sanding and refinishing process take?
Typically, the entire process lasts 3-5 days, depending on the size of your space and the condition of the flooring. This time frame includes sanding, staining, and applying the protective finishes.
Can all hardwood floors be sanded and refinished?
Most solid hardwood floors can be sanded and refinished multiple times. Engineered hardwood, however, can only be refinished once or twice, depending on the thickness of its top layer.
Will sanding create a lot of dust?
At High Plains Flooring & Blinds, we use modern dust containment systems to greatly reduce dust during the sanding process, ensuring a cleaner and safer environment for your home.

You can walk on your floors about 24 hours after the final finish coat is applied. However, we recommend waiting 3-5 days before moving furniture back to ensure the finish has fully cured.

Yes! Refinishing offers the perfect opportunity to change the color of your hardwood floors, allowing you to completely refresh the look of your space.
