Who does expert hardwood floor sanding and refinishing in Northern Colorado?
Schmidt Custom Floors has refinished thousands of hardwood floors across Loveland, Fort Collins, and the Front Range since 1968. Full sand-and-refinish, buff-and-coat, screen-and-coat, and color changes - all with a 99% dust-contained system and a choice of water- or oil-based polyurethane finishes.
Restore the beauty of your hardwood floors
Over time, hardwood floors can lose their original shine due to daily wear, scratches, and fading. Our wood floor finishing services are designed to restore their natural character while improving durability.
Using advanced sanding techniques and high-quality finishes, we carefully remove imperfections and reveal the true beauty of the wood beneath. Whether your floors need a light refresh or a full refinishing, we deliver results that make your space feel like new again.

Customized finishes for long-lasting results
Every home is unique, and your floors should reflect your personal style. We offer a wide range of stain colors and finish options to match your vision - from modern matte looks to rich, traditional tones.
Our team works closely with you to select the right finish based on your lifestyle, design preferences, and level of foot traffic. The result is a durable, beautiful floor that enhances your home and stands the test of time.

Learn moreWhat to expect during hardwood floor refinishing
Hardwood floor refinishing is a detailed, step-by-step process designed to restore the look and durability of your floors. It begins with a thorough cleaning to eliminate dirt, residue, and any existing coatings. Once the surface is properly prepped, the floor is sanded using multiple passes with increasingly fine grits. This removes scratches, imperfections, and old finishes, leaving behind a smooth and even surface.
If you're looking to update the color of your floors, a stain can be applied at this stage. After the stain has fully dried, several layers of protective finish are added. The type of finish used depends on your desired appearance - whether you prefer a high-gloss shine or a more subtle matte look - as well as the level of durability needed for your space.
The final step involves allowing the finish to cure properly, followed by a light buffing to achieve the desired sheen. The overall timeline can vary depending on the size of the project, the condition of the floors, and the products used, but most refinishing jobs are completed within a few days.

Expert Wood Floor Sanding and Refinishing - frequently asked questions
- Most jobs are completed within a few days, depending on square footage, floor condition, and finish choice. We'll give you a clear schedule during your free in-home estimate.
- Yes. Once your floors are sanded to bare wood we can apply any stain color you choose - whitewash, natural, grey, mid-tone, or rich espresso. We sample stains on your actual floor before committing.
- You can usually stay. Modern water-based finishes are low-odor and we contain the work area, but the refinished rooms need to stay foot-traffic free while the finish cures.
- Our sanders connect to commercial dust-containment systems that capture nearly all the dust at the source, so your home stays clean and your air stays healthy through the project.
