Our sanding and refinishing services breathe new life into tired wood floors. Here are the potential advantages a professional refinishing project in Denver can offer your space:
Extends the Lifespan of Your Floors
Refinishing can make decades-old flooring look brand new again. Refinishing will revitalize the protective wear layer, eliminate surface damage and help your floors last you for years to come.
Update Your Surface
A new stain color can give any room a whole new look. There's also the option to restore the wood floors you already know and love.
Eco-Friendly & Cost-Effective
Why replace when you can restore? Refinishing hardwood will protect your investment and reduce waste in the environment.
Healthier Indoor Air
When you ask us to refinish your wood flooring, we use water-based and low-VOC finishes that are healthy for your family and pets.
Cleaner Results with Dustless Sanding
Our dust containment systems are made to keep your space clean throughout the process. Keep your floors looking great without the mess.
Depending on your home, your wood floor refinishing project will have a distinct price. Ultimately, it comes down to the following:
Besides these, it's important to note that floors with deeper scratches or more extensive damage may need more sanding and prep, increasing the overall investment. No two homes and floors are alike. We will discuss these factors during your consultation to give you a clear, honest number before we start working, not a generic estimate that doesn't pertain to your space.
There isn't a universal timeline for every project. However, there are factors that affect how long each one will take:
Site-finished floors need time to dry between coats and it's important to know that most finishes are walkable within 24-48 hours, but full cure time can vary. We provide a clear, project-specific timeline during your consultation so you can know what to expect before we start working.
In Denver, some floors don't need a full sand-down. A screen and recoat will lightly buff your existing finish and apply a fresh top without removing the old finish or addressing deep scratches. If you only have minor damage, it's a faster, more affordable and less disruptive solution. A full refinish sands down to bare wood, which removes deeper scratches and gouges while letting you change your stain color if desired.
Wood flooring that's lost its shine, but is in otherwise good shape will only need a screen and recoat. In the case of scratching, staining or refinishing, we'll help you figure out which one makes the most sense during your consultation.
Even after years of wear, wood underneath is often structurally sound. The surface is tired, not the floor itself. Refinishing will restore the surface without the cost, waste or disruption of tearing out and replacing your existing hardwood.
Replacement is the better solution for boards damaged beyond repair or when water damage reaches the subfloor. Otherwise, refinishing makes more sense. If a section of your floor needs anything beyond resurfacing, we proudly offer floor repair services to address it.
We take sanding hardwood seriously. This is how we bring floors back to life:
Consultation & Floor Evaluation
The first step is assessing your existing floors and discussing your options. It's a time to establish whether a full sand and refinish or a maintenance coat makes more sense.
Dustless Sanding
Our dust-contained equipment will keep your home clean while we sand, reducing airborne dust throughout the refinishing process. Dustless sanding and dustless refinishing are essential to your floors looking their best.
Finish Selection — Water-Based & Oil-Based Finishes
Start with choosing your stain color and finish type. Our team works with leading brands like Arboritec, Pallman and Bona. Most projects use eco-friendly water-based polyurethanes alongside oil-modified polyurethanes, low-VOC (9g/ltr) oil-based finishes and UV-cured finishes. The ones we use are ceramic-fortified, instantly cured and 40% harder than our best two-component water-based option.
Cure Time & Final Walkthrough
Most finishes are walkable within 24-48 hours. We give you clear post-care instructions and walk through the space to make sure every detail meets our standard and yours.
Good Words, Great Customers

We could not be happier with the beautiful white oak hardwood flooring we ordered from T & G! Chris and his staff are SO knowledgeable and educated us on all of the options.

Took the On-line Flooring 101 course from Christopher Keale, with my wife. We are now educated enough to know what sort of flooring we want to use. Highly recommend if you have doubts and don’t know what to get/use. Glad we did it. Takes a little bit of time and is well worth the effort. It took the mystery out of our selection of flooring. We feel that we made the right decisions and are happy with outcome. Highly recommended if you have questions about the what, where and how’s of all the different types of flooring and installation.Posted on Google![]()

T&G installed engineered hardwood at our newly renovated home. The entire experience from start to finish has been A+, and all the staff with whom I have interacted, with a particular "shout out" to David Garcia, have been professional and extremely responsive. Quality work and service to match. In fact, after experiencing some construction related issues resulting from the general contractor and its impact to the cleanliness of the floor, T&G jumped right in, showed up the same day, and provided guidance and assistance in arranging for a professional deep cleaning. Highly recommend!Posted on Google![]()

We're so relieved! Our wood floors were damaged recently with some unsightly scratches. We hired T&G floors for the repair. My perfectionist self can finally rest easy!

We hired T&G Flooring based on several recommendations from former customers on NextDoor. We wanted to have our yellow oak flooring stained a darker color. T&G sent out Chris to give us an estimate. Chris was thorough, professional, and friendly. He answered a lot of questions and gave me a very good idea of what to expect. We stained roughly 1200sqft of hardwood on our main floor. Project took 5 days to complete (we scheduled the project for when we were already planning to be out of town). The final floor turned out AMAZING. We're so happy with it. Makes the entire house feel different and more modern. We did need to have Chris come out to do a small touch-up on an area where the stain wasn't quite even. He took care of that the next day after I made the request. We were very pleased with T&G and especially Chris and would recommend them to others.Posted on Facebook![]()

My wife and I moved into her parents' home (built in the 1950's) about a year ago. There was carpeting everywhere! We wanted to have hardwood like we had in our previous home. We found out that all that carpeting was covering up red and white oak hardwood. We talked to Chris Atencio of T&G Flooring and agreed to have them resurface the flooring. OMG what a difference! The crews came in, did their thing, and we now have beautiful hardwood floors that look absolutely marvelous. We are very pleased that we went with T&G. Their quality of work, professionalism, attention to detail, reasonable cost, and friendly demeanor all added up to a wonderful experience. We highly recommend T&G Flooring for all your needs and suggest that you visit their office at 590 Quivas St. in Denver. You will be amazed. Alan FearPosted on Facebook![]()

I used T&G for the Morrison Co project - the assistance I received before , during and after the project was impeccable. As a professional my jobs are stronger due to the team we put together. T&G was on time - on budget and they were professional and courteous to my client with or without my presence on the jobsite. I was located in Seattle during the install of the new floors and I was impressed with the constant contact and daily updates of the progress.Posted on Houzz![]()

T&G Flooring is very professional, reasonably priced, and most important - does an outstanding job. Chris, the owner, is honest and a pleasure to work with...and Omar, who installed our hardwood floors and baseboards is a complete pro. My house looks beautiful! Omar has a ton of experence. I was especially curious how the difficult spots were going to turn out, and he executed them perfectly. It's hard to find any flaws with the hardwood or baseboards.

I chose another company whose bid was slightly lower than T & G's. This was a mistake! In the end, my new floor looks fine, but there were many issues along the way, which I don't think I would have experienced had I chosen T & G. Chris Keale and his company are focused on customer service; the company I chose is not. The next time I need hardwood floor services, I will definitely hire T & G!Posted on Houzz![]()
Renee Dupont4973 days agoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Houzz.
I received bids from T & G and two other companies to remove old flooring and install new hardwood flooring in my home. I ended up choosing one of the other companies, whose bid was slightly less expensive, and I deeply regret my decision. I had multiple issues with the other company, which I now know has terrible customer service. T & G provides not only excellent flooring services but also excellent customer service. I should have chosen T & G for my project, and I will certainly use them in the future.Posted on Houzz![]()

Chris and his installation team were extremely informative, supportive and patient with respect to our recent hardwood flooring purchase and install. We were looking for an extremely competent flooring company, whose product would be higher in quality, and in appearance, than that of other companies, whose products are made overseas. We were thrilled to purchase our beautiful new walnut hardwood floor, which was domestically milled and finished, from T&G Flooring. We had never purchased a custom made floor before, and Chris' knowledge and reassurance each step of the way made for an exceptional experience. The installation experience was just as exceptional! The installer, was meticulous and laid each board with precision and care. The installer neatly stacked his tools and cleaned the workspace each day, so our home was not left in disarray. We would highly recommend T&G Flooring to anyone who wants top notch flooring service, support, sales, and installation.Posted on Houzz![]()

T&G did a remarkable job restoring my very ugly and dated wood floor. I am an interior designer / architect and I am very picky about quality, service and professionalism. They went the distance on all counts...restoring a floor, which was difficult to begin with, and working with me to achieve a STUNNING finish. I appreciate their ATTENTION TO DETAILS and the level of service which is rare in my profession. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM. Everyone that comes to the house is so complimentary to the design, particularly the floor. SEE PHOTOSPosted on Houzz![]()

T&G Flooring installed hard wood flooring in our dining room. From the individual who gave the estimate to the individual who installed the floor, we were treated with respect and appreciated their professional attidude. We were very appreciative of how well the work area was cleaned up every day as well as the area used outside. The young man who installed the floor told us about every step in the process and asked if we had any questions about what was to be done. He was very professional and very personable. We are totally happy with our new flooring and with the quality of work performed by T&G Flooring.Posted on Houzz![]()

We couldn't be more thrilled with our floors and the work done by the crew at T&G Flooring! Owner Chris Keele came out to our house and gave us an estimate for the work, answered all of our many questions, and actually explained everything in very easy to understand terms. He educated us on all the options, gave helpful suggestions along the way, and made us feel at ease. We chose T&G Flooring over 4 other contractors who also gave us estimates. T&G wasn't the lowest bid, but not the highest either - we felt it was very fair. The project took a few days longer than expected but everything was clearly communicated to us. The crew was fantastic! Sam (installer), Jose & Cody (sanding, staining and finishing) and Steve (trim work) were all very skilled, professional, and did absolutely beautiful work. The transition between new and old floor is completely seamless, and it turned out better than we imagined - it's gorgeous! We couldn't decide on a stock stain color so they custom mixed the perfect one for us. We love our new floors! We would highly recommend Chris and the whole crew at T&G Flooring for any hardwood project, big or small!Posted on Angie's List![]()

Choose this company because they had good prices and quality products. They have evening open houses with the public where you get a very thorough education on hardwood floors. All pluses and minuses of different woods explained, especially how they relate to a semi-arid Denver metro climate and usage. Very pleasant workers, explained every step. Dirt and dust kept to a minimum. Explained what to do and not do to keep floor in shape. Left a container of stain for me to use in case I need to cover a scratch/ding. My pets don't harm the floor. Friends comment on smoothness of floor compared to their floors.

Refinishing goes beyond the surface. The process requires respect for the wood, attention to detail and a process you can trust. Every project reflects our core values and this is what you get when you choose our professional hardwood refinishing services in Denver:
Trust & Respect:
Honesty comes first. We respect your time, your space and help you choose the right finish for your floors.
Commitment & Skill:
We do more than get the job done. Our team carefully addresses imperfections and applies a finish made to last.
Efficiency & Communication:
Every refinishing project uses a systems-driven process to keep your project on track, your home clean and you informed.
Stewardship:
Wood is a resource we respect. That's why refinishing using sustainable, low-VOC finishes is a smart alternative to full replacement.
Hardwood floor refinishing is the process of sanding down your existing floors to bare wood, removing the old finish, scratches, and surface damage, then applying fresh stain (if desired) and a new protective topcoat. When done correctly by experienced craftsmen, it can make floors that are decades old look brand new again.
Reasons vary, but some come up more often than others. Floors that have gone dull, scratched, or discolored over time are the most common candidates. Many homeowners refinish after purchasing a home, especially if they want to move away from older red or orange-toned finishes toward something more contemporary. Others refinish before listing a home to maximize resale value. Denver’s dry climate also plays a role; floors that weren’t properly finished or maintained can show wear faster here than in more humid climates, making refinishing a smart investment.
In many cases, yes — though the extent of the damage determines the approach. Surface-level staining and light pet scratches can often be addressed through a full sand and refinish. Deeper water damage that has affected the wood structure or pet stains that have penetrated through to the subfloor, may require board replacement before refinishing can begin. We assess every floor individually so we can give you an honest answer before we start working.
A screen and recoat involves lightly buffing the surface of your existing finish and applying a fresh coat on top. It doesn’t remove the old finish or address deep scratches; it simply restores sheen and adds a layer of protection. It’s more affordable, faster and less disruptive than a full refinish. A full refinish involves sanding all the way down to bare wood to remove deeper scratches, change the stain color and start completely fresh. If your floors have lost their sheen but are otherwise in good shape, a screen and recoat may be all you need. If they’re scratched, stained, or you want a new look, a full refinish makes more sense.
Yes, our team uses dust containment systems during the sanding process to minimize airborne particles and keep your home as clean as possible. While no sanding process is completely dust-free, our equipment and methods significantly reduce the mess compared to traditional sanding.
Timeline depends on the square footage, the condition of the floors, the number of coats applied and the finish type. Most residential refinishing projects take a few days to a week. Site-finished floors require dry time between coats, which adds to the overall schedule. We give you a clear timeline so you’ll know when your project will be complete.
Yes. We use dust containment systems throughout the sanding process and handle cleanup as part of the job. Our team treats your home with care from start to finish — that’s not just a courtesy, it’s part of how we operate.
That depends on your goal. If you want to restore your floors to their original look, we can match the existing stain and finish as closely as possible. However, sometimes, older floors or floors that have changed color naturally over time — an exact match isn’t achievable, but a professional result will still look cohesive and intentional. If you’re open to a change, refinishing is also a great opportunity to update the color or sheen level entirely. We walk through all of this with you before work begins so there are no surprises.
Yes. A full refinish is a chance to apply a custom stain before the topcoat goes down. We mix stain formulas in-house and document the exact formula used. If you ever need touch-up work done down the road, we have a record of precisely what was used. Color changes are one of the most popular reasons homeowners choose to refinish, particularly those moving away from red or orange-toned floors toward warmer naturals or cooler grays.
Refinishing cost depends on several factors: square footage, current floor condition, number of coats, finish type, and whether any board replacement or custom staining is involved. Because every floor and every home is different, we don’t work from a flat rate. The best way to get an accurate number is to schedule a consultation — we’ll assess your floors, walk you through your options and give you a clear picture of the investment before any commitment is made.
