Nebraska's brutal winters, summer humidity, and temperature swings punish poorly finished hardwood. Our process accounts for every one of these factors.

From the estimate to the final coat, here's what to expect when you book with Elkhorn Hardwood.
We assess floor condition, measure the space, note repairs needed, and give you written pricing. Fixed per-sq-ft — you know the number before work starts.
Board replacement, gap filling, squeaky subfloor fastening — all prep work happens before sanding. A refinish is only as good as what's underneath.
HEPA-filtered equipment sands to bare wood across multiple grits. If you're doing a color change, test patches go on here for your approval before we proceed.
Stain is applied and sealed. Oil-based stains need 24-hour dry time — we schedule around Nebraska's seasonal conditions, not a generic timeline.
2–3 coats of Bona Mega ONE, lightly buffed between coats. Light traffic in 24 hours; furniture back in 72; area rugs after 30 days. Backed by a 3-year warranty.
"Our 1970s oak floors had never been touched. They were orange, scratched, and gapped. After three days we had floors that looked better than anything in the neighborhood. The stain test patch process is what won me over — I knew exactly what I was getting."
"Needed floors refinished before listing. They came in, gave a flat price, finished in four days, and the before/after was dramatic. Realtor said the floors were a highlight during showings. Sold above asking."
"Water damage from a basement leak had buckled several boards and turned the finish cloudy across a 10-foot section. They replaced the boards with matching salvage wood, refinished the whole main floor, and you genuinely can't tell where the damage was."
Fixed per-square-foot pricing. Most homeowners budget $3,500–$7,000 for a main floor. You get a written number before work starts.
Most projects run $3–$8 per square foot for a full sand, stain, and 3-coat finish. A 1,000 sq ft main floor typically costs $3,500–$6,500. You get a written fixed price — not an hourly estimate — before work begins.
Most whole-house refinishing projects take 3–5 days. Sanding takes 1–2 days, staining adds a 24-hour dry time, then 2–3 finish coats. Light foot traffic after 24 hours; furniture back after 72; area rugs after 30 days.
Not 100%, but very close. Our HEPA system captures 99% of dust at the source. Most homeowners are genuinely surprised how clean the house is when we leave — no plastic sheeting everywhere, no deep cleaning after.
Yes. Sanding to bare wood removes the existing color completely. We bring samples and apply test patches on your actual floor in your actual lighting before you commit. You approve the color first.
Solid hardwood typically allows 5–8 refinishes depending on board thickness. Engineered hardwood depends on the wear layer (usually 1–3). We assess your floor at the free estimate and tell you honestly what's possible.
During sanding, dust levels and fumes make staying home uncomfortable. Most families stay elsewhere for 1–2 days during the sanding and first coat. We coordinate a schedule with you so you know exactly when you can return.
