Bring your hardwood floors back to life

Plenty of worn hardwood does not need replacing, just refinishing. Older homes in Sequoyah Hills, Fountain City, and Bearden often hide beautiful original floors under years of wear. Volunteer Flooring & Design sands, stains, and refinishes solid and suitable engineered floors with finishes chosen for your home.

Refinishing usually costs well under what a full replacement does and keeps the character of the wood you already own. If a floor is too far gone, we will say so and show you new hardwood options.

Three levels of refinishing

Three levels of refinishing

We recommend the lightest approach that will actually solve the problem.

  • Screen and recoat - a light refresh for floors in decent shape
  • Buff and coat - tackles light scratches and surface wear
  • Full sanding and refinish - removes deep scratches and old finish, and allows a new color
Stains and finishes

Stains and finishes

Once the floor is sanded bare, you can change its color: natural, light, gray, or deep brown. We bring sample boards so you can judge under your own lighting. Finish options include water-based and oil-based coatings in matte, satin, or gloss.

Keeping dust and disruption down

Keeping dust and disruption down

We use dust-control methods and plastic containment to protect the rest of the house. Many families stay home during refinishing, and we block off only the rooms being worked on. If your project also involves stairs, check out our hardwood stairs page.

Flexible Financing Available*

*Subject to approved credit. Offered through Wisetack and Hearth. Ask us about current terms.

Water-based finishes dry faster than oil-based. We give you timing for light foot traffic and full cure, and plan around your schedule.

Surface marks often sand out. Deeper damage may need board replacement first, which our floor repair team can handle.

Yes, with a full sand we can move from a warm honey tone to a gray, a light natural, or a deep brown. See examples in our gallery.
