Quick Answer
A busy family in Montgomery County wanted their sun-drenched open-concept main level refinished without shutting down the household or coating every surface in dust.
The Problem
Original 20-year-old red oak had heavy traffic wear from the entry through the kitchen, deep scratches from a large dog, and yellowed oil-based polyurethane that no longer matched the homeowner's design palette.
Our Solution
We ran our HEPA-contained dustless sanding system through three grits (36, 60, 100), water-popped the grain for even absorption, applied a neutral seal coat to preserve the natural red-oak warmth, and finished with three coats of Bona Traffic HD satin.

Results
The floors read as brand-new — no yellow cast, uniform sheen from window to window, and Traffic HD's cure means the family walked in socks the next morning and moved furniture back in 72 hours. Zero drywall or cabinet touch-up needed.
