Our work

Floors we’ve done

Every floor on this page is one of our jobs, in a real home. No stock photos.

Real jobs in real homes

These photos come from our own jobs across western Wisconsin and the east Twin Cities, mostly taken on a phone the day we finished. You’ll see refinished hardwood, recoats, stairs and vinyl plank. If your floor looks like one of the “before” photos, there’s a good chance it can look like the “after”.

Before and after

Kitchen floor before refinishing: dark, scratched and worn
Before
The same kitchen floor after refinishing: warm, even and glossy
After

Same kitchen. Same boards.

Dark, scratched and worn through in spots. We sanded it to bare wood and refinished it. Nothing was torn out.
