Will my house be covered in sawdust for weeks?

This is the number one thing people dread, and it’s a fair worry. Traditional sanding throws fine dust into every room and it lands on everything. We use dustless sanding, which captures the dust right at the source. We say 99% dust free and we mean it. One customer with dark granite countertops and an open split-level floor plan said they had a hard time finding any dust at all after we were done.

Can I stay in my home while the work is happening?

In most cases yes, though it depends on which rooms we’re working in and the finish we use. Some finishes need time to cure before you walk on them or move furniture back. We’ll walk you through the timeline during your consultation so you can plan around it. The goal is to keep the disruption to your daily life as small as possible.

How long does the whole project take?

A typical refinish runs a few days, but it varies with the size of the space, how much repair work the floors need, and drying or curing time between coats. Rushing a floor is how you end up with a bad finish, so we build in the time it takes to do it right. We’ll give you a realistic schedule up front, and we have a track record of finishing on time.

My floors are scratched, faded, and look pretty rough. Are they too far gone?

Probably not. We’ve brought back over 1,500 floors that owners thought were beyond saving. Worn, scratched, faded, water-stained, sun-bleached. Most solid hardwood can be sanded down and refinished multiple times over its life. Before you tear them out and pay for full replacement, let us take a look. Restoring what you have is almost always cheaper than starting over.

Can engineered hardwood be refinished, or only solid wood?

It depends on the thickness of the top wood layer. Some engineered floors can be refinished once or even a couple of times, others have a layer too thin to sand. This trips a lot of homeowners up. Rather than guess and risk ruining the floor, we’ll inspect what you have and tell you straight whether refinishing is an option or whether a different approach makes more sense.

How do I know the new stain color will actually look good in my house?

Nobody wants to commit to a color and hate it once it’s down. We bring stain samples and lay them right on your floor so you can see how each one looks in your actual lighting next to your cabinets and walls. One customer mentioned we brought extra samples beyond the one she picked, just so she could compare them side by side before deciding.

Are you actually licensed and insured, or just a guy with a sander?

Fair question, since anyone can claim to do floors. Black Forest is licensed, bonded, and insured, NWFA certified, and an A+ rated, accredited member of the Better Business Bureau. That protects you if anything goes wrong on the job, and the certification means our crew is trained to current industry standards, not just winging it.

Will the finish stink up my house for days?

Some finishes have a stronger odor and longer cure time than others. During your consultation we’ll talk through the finish options, including lower-odor choices, and what to expect for smell and dry time. That way you can pick what fits your household, especially if you have kids or pets.

Do you serve my area?

We cover Spokane, Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake, Post Falls, and Coeur d’Alene, plus surrounding spots like Cheney, Deer Park, Colbert, Greenbluff, and Airway Heights. If you’re not sure whether you’re in range, just call and ask.

What if I’m not happy with the work?

We back our work with a craftsmanship guarantee and run a 30 point quality inspection before we call a job done. We’d rather catch something ourselves and fix it than have you live with it. If something isn’t right, we want to hear about it and make it right.

I just need a small repair, not a whole new floor. Do you do that?

Yes. You don’t have to commit to a full project. We handle board repairs, small refinishing jobs, and maintenance coats that refresh the surface without a complete sand-down. A maintenance coat is a good, lower-cost way to extend the life of your floors before they ever need a full refinish.

Testimonials

What Our Customers Say About us

Floors after being refinished look brand new. Steve and crew were extremely professional and the attention to detail was phenomenal. When they say 99% dust free that is what they mean. We have dark granite in kitchen and had a hard time finding any dust, but if there was any, they kept it clean during the refinishing process. We are perfectionist, as well as Steve and his crew! We are satisfied in every way!

Marlin Parbs

I have been meaning to write this for several months now. These guys were very professional, did a great job, and went above and beyond. I was impressed by how clean the house was after they were completed. Definitely going to be using them when I need to get them refinished again.

William DeLashmutt

Our floors look amazing! The Black Forest crew did an outstanding job refinishing the wood floors in our kitchen, dining room, and landing. They were courteous and friendly, explaining the process along the way with tips and advice. They even brought a few more stain samples than the one I chose, laying them all on the floor so I could see how they compared to one another. And their process was dust free, which I appreciate with a split level, open floor house. The job was finished on time and I'm really happy with the outcome! I would highly recommend Black Forest Hardwood Floors.

Michelle
