One of a very few floor sanding company from a french polishing background who promotes the highest quality standards.
We are constantly trying to change (for the better) the way people treat the restoration of original wood floors.
We approach the restoration of any wood floor the same as we would an antique table.
Imagine a valuable antique table – think about patina created over many years of use, the dinks and the scratches all of which relates to the tables history about its past, how it’s been used and how it’s been treated.
If you owned such a table you would preserve it, treat it with the utmost care and restore it sympathetically, seek the advice of a wood restoration expert (a french polisher).
The one thing you would probably not do is to take a sanding machine to it.
And yet, that is what often happens to wood floors; unfortunately the first instinct of people when faced with worn and neglected wood floor is to hire a sander and sand them, in the process, usually over sanding the floor, also destroying all traces of the floor’s history and character, more often than not with the best intentions, creating a lot more damage than good restoration.
We have years of experience working with all types of wood floors.
Learning the intricate nature of the trade.
From the preparation to the restoration and the finish, taking care over each step of the process the application of traditional skills in the process.
For us, staying ahead of the game, so to speak, is essential.
