Wood Floor Refinishing Services
Even the best quality, most durable hardwood floors will eventually need to be refinished. Foot traffic, kid traffic and pet traffic all contribute to wear layer deteriorating and leaving your hardwood with a dull, scratched up appearance.
Thankfully, if you own a Hardwood or even Engineered Hardwood floor it can be sanded and refinished so it looks just like new again. You can even change the tint or color!
J & J Wood Floors is a wood flooring contractor based out of Auburn, California and serving clients in Placer County and Nevada County including Granite Bay, Roseville, Loomis, Rocklin, Lincoln, El Dorado Hills, Meadow Vista, Newcastle, and surrounding areas. We specialize in Dustless Wood Floor Refinishing. With the Bona Atomic Dust Containment System we are able to capture and remove the sanding dust as it is being created by our machines and transport it via vacuum hoses out of your home and into a capture bin. These hoses connect directly to the machines so the dust never becomes airborne or accumulates on the floor to be tracked around.

The sanding process will remove all deep and surface scratches that your wood floors have collected over their many years of use. Staining will allow you to custom pick a new color to fit the style of your home and finishing will allow you to choose what type of finish and how many coats you will apply for durability.
Should I Sand My Hardwood Floors or Buff Them?
The answer depends on the current condition of your floors. Floors that have been scratched excessively from kids, pets or moving furniture (think deep scratches) will probably need a full sanding. If the floor just appears dull and worn then we can usually remove a minimal amount of the wear layer.
Buffing or screening floors is for maintaining a floor that is already in good condition. The screening process involves lightly sanding the top layer of existing finish. By very lightly abrading the top layer it helps to promote the adhesion of the new top finishing coat. Surface scratches can be eliminated, however deep scratches and gouges will still remain and require a full sanding.
How Do You Choose The Right Stain Color When Refinishing Hardwood Floors?
This is something we are frequently asked by our customers and we understand your concern. Simply put it’s hard to determine what the finished product will look like especially while choosing colors from a small paper or wood sample. We will apply your chosen stains to your floor during our wood floor refinishing appointment. You will be able to visually see and approve the color you like most. The possibilities are endless, stains can be mixed with others, or dyes to create a unique one of a kind look. We take the guess work out of choosing a color.

Do You Have Questions About Wood Floor Refinishing?
Wood floor refinishing is the process of sanding down the top layer of a wooden floor to remove surface damage, followed by applying a new finish to restore its original beauty and protect the wood.
Dustless floor refinishing is a process that uses advanced sanding equipment with powerful vacuums to capture dust as it is generated. This significantly reduces the amount of dust released into the air and minimizes the cleanup required after the job is done.
- Cleaner Environment: Reduces the amount of dust in your home, making the process cleaner and healthier.
- Healthier: Minimizes the risk of respiratory issues and allergies caused by dust particles.
- Less Cleanup: Reduces the time and effort needed to clean up after refinishing.
Dustless refinishing offers a cleaner, healthier alternative to traditional methods. It reduces the mess and cleanup associated with floor refinishing, making it a preferred choice for homeowners who want a hassle-free experience.
Refinishing your wood floors can:
- Restore Appearance: Remove scratches, dents, and stains to make the floor look new again.
- Extend Lifespan: Protect the wood from future damage and wear.
- Increase Home Value: Enhance the overall appeal and value of your home.
The frequency depends on the amount of traffic and wear. Generally, wood floors should be refinished every 7-10 years. High-traffic areas may need refinishing more frequently, while less-used areas can go longer between refinishing.
Most solid hardwood floors can be refinished multiple times. Engineered wood floors can also be refinished, but the number of times depends on the thickness of the top veneer layer. Laminate floors cannot be refinished.
- Visible Scratches and Dents: Deep scratches and gouges that penetrate the finish.
- Dullness and Discoloration: Loss of shine and color fading.
- Water Damage: Dark spots or stains from spills and moisture.
- Worn Areas: Areas where the finish has worn away, exposing bare wood.
The entire process can take 3-5 days, depending on the size of the area, the condition of the floors, and the type of finish used. This includes drying time between each coat of finish.
While DIY refinishing is possible, it requires specialized equipment and skills. Hiring a professional ensures the job is done correctly, efficiently, and with high-quality results. Professionals can also handle unexpected issues, such as deep stains or extensive damage.
- Oil-Based Polyurethane: Durable and gives a warm, amber tone to the wood.
- Water-Based Polyurethane: Clear finish that dries quickly and is less toxic.
- Wax: Traditional finish that provides a soft, natural look but requires more maintenance.
- Penetrating Oils: Enhance the natural beauty of the wood and provide a low-sheen finish.
- Regular Cleaning: Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris.
- Avoid Water: Use a damp mop, not a wet one, to clean the floors.
- Use Rugs and Mats: Place them in high-traffic areas and at entryways.
- Furniture Pads: Use pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches.
Zero VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) finishes are eco-friendly products that do not emit harmful chemicals into the air. These finishes are designed to be safer for both the environment and indoor air quality.
- Healthier Indoor Air Quality: Zero VOC finishes do not release harmful chemicals, reducing the risk of respiratory problems and allergies.
- Eco-Friendly: These finishes are better for the environment, as they do not contribute to air pollution.
- Safe for Families: Ideal for homes with children, pets, or individuals with chemical sensitivities.
Zero VOC finishes provide a similar level of protection and durability as traditional finishes without the harmful emissions. They may sometimes require more careful application and maintenance but offer significant health and environmental benefits.
- Water-Based Polyurethane: Offers a clear, durable finish with low environmental impact.
- Natural Oils and Waxes: Enhance the natural beauty of wood while providing protection without harmful chemicals.
- Plant-Based Finishes: Made from renewable resources, providing an eco-friendly alternative to traditional finishes.

TESTIMONIALS
Highly recommended! After we made initial contact, Joe came out quickly to visit our home. We received a competitive estimate from him the next day and decided to hire him for the job. We handled the demolition of the existing carpet and tile flooring where necessary. The installation went smoothly--they were able to seamlessly lace in the new red oak with our existing red oak flooring. Joe & Scott were responsive to questions and feedback and got us exactly what we were looking for. If we do more wood flooring or need our floors refinished, we'll be calling them first!
Absolutely beautiful job renewing our hard wood floors! We were delighted to find they were white oak and Joe and his son were so amazing. Hard workers, polite and friendly…so thankful to have found them. They were fast and detailed. Don’t hesitate if you are looking. They are your guys.
J & J wood floors completed our entire first floor with beautiful wood floors. They were extremely kind, courteous, and punctual. The floors turned out even better than what we had imagined. I highly recommend them. Thank you J& J wood floors.
Great workmanship. Friendly and collaborative throughout the whole process. Flexible in working with you (we had to extend the floor in the kitchen and fit that into the schedule. Thorough. Set all the face nails. Sealed all spaces and nails. Got completely under all cupboards, fridge, and piano. And put 3 full Coates on the floors. A great experience with wonderful results. All this with no dust during the whole process! Finished ahead of schedule.
J&J Wood Floors refinished our hardwood floors. They are knowledgeable and professional. They have all the professional equipment and do the job right. We are pleased with how the floors turned out.
J & J did a great job with matching and tying in new wood with our classic old hardwood floors. Fair and easy to work with. Would definitely use again. Thanks
We have used J and J twice to do engineered hardwood flooring. They did our entire downstairs in 2015 and most recently in 2022 the upstairs. Both times went quickly and efficiently and the product looks great
Joe and his crew did a fantastic job installing some additional wood flooring and refinishing our old floors. Everything matched perfectly and they were neat and clean during the whole process. We have some more flooring to do and plan to have Joe do that work too. We would have no reservations recommending J&J flooring to anyone needing flooring work.
On time , kept the worksite tidy and very clean when they were done. Easy to work with and good communicator with questions I had a long the way. The floors look great!
Excellent work. Done quick with great prices. Would recommend to all
Hands down amazing work glad I went with them to do my wood floors I highly recommend
Super happy I chose this company to redo my floors. 10/10 would recommend anyone to use them . Professional in all aspects thanks again guys !
My wood floors are stunning! Joe and Scott did an amazing job of restoring my floors. They are professional and detail oriented! The process they use is very clean and I was happily surprised at how quick and efficient it was. I would highly recommend them, their customer service is top notch.
We had water damage to our oak flooring in the kitchen due to a poorly installed dish washer (another story). Joe and Scott refinished our flooring (approximately 500 square feet) and did an outstanding job. They arrived when they said would, were efficient and professional in every respect, and caused minimal disruption. When I handed Joe the check I said that "it was worth every penny". It was. Most importantly, however, is that my wife now says that she "can't help but smile every time she looks at the "new" flooring. Thanks Joe!
Amazing work restoring our old hard wood floors and installing new wood floors to replace carpet. Wonderful craftsmanship and reliable service. Highly recommended!! We’re very pleased with the results.
We hired J & J to refinish some existing oak floors and install new flooring to match, including a flight of stairs, at our condo in North Tahoe. Joe worked with us remotely (since this isn't our full time residence). We met Joe at the condo and reviewed the job parameters during the estimate phase; the bid was very competitive. Then we were able to do everything remotely via emails and phone calls. The finished product is beautiful and transformed our space. We really appreciate that we didn't have to run back-and-forth from the valley to the mountains to supervise Joe. He kept us updated with progress reports which helped immensely. We have high praise for Joe's craftsmanship and and business sense. His work is first rate and his professionalism spot on. We highly recommend J & J.
Great work, timely, friendly and great prices.
I cannot say enough about these guys my floors turned out amazing. Everyday I walk through the house and it puts a smile on my face thanks,./
J & J Wood Floors did an outstanding job on our wood floors! We have an existing wood floor that we needed to match and they did a great job finding the right product for our needs. Their service and attention to detail was on target. Joe and his son are experts at what they do. I highly recommend this company for all your flooring needs!
We priced out Aquarius Medallion flooring around Bay Area and found J&J to be the best deal even with our project 100 plus miles away from Auburn. We did a large 5000 sf ft home in the Whiskey Aquarius. Jeff and His son are top notch installers and first class people. On time and finished on schedule. I personally recommend them for any flooring project. Feel free to contact me for a referral. Our house turned out perfect and only have praise for J&J. I also think the Aquarius product is a steal and looks better than the much higher priced competition.
