Sanding
Our complete sand and finish process restores worn hardwood floors to like-new condition. Using professional equipment and techniques, we remove scratches, stains, and imperfections while preserving the wood's natural character. Clients can choose from various finishes or request custom stain matching to complement their home decor.
Floor Repair
We specialize in repairing floors damaged by water, pets, and general wear. Our technicians replace damaged boards and blend them seamlessly with existing floors using reclaimed wood from similar-era homes. This maintains authentic aesthetics while ensuring structural integrity and long-term durability.
Installations
Professional installation of new hardwood floors tailored to your home's style. Our experts help select appropriate wood species from traditional oak to exotic options like Brazilian cherry. We ensure proper installation techniques that maintain the floor's beauty and functionality for decades.

For floors in good condition showing wear, our recoating service restores luster without full sanding. The process includes light screening, thorough cleaning, and applying one to two fresh coats of polyurethane. This cost-effective solution extends floor life while maintaining existing patterns and designs.

Todd (owner) and Paul did an amazing job sanding and restoring the beat-up stained floors in a mid-century duplex I recently purchased. It makes the house sparkle! They fit me in even though theyre busy (I can see why). I highly recommend Earls!

I called Earls once I saw the caliber of his work at my parents place. My husband and I own a classic 1938 Tudor and we wanted to hire someone with excellent skill to restore our red oak floors.

Bart started mid week and worked tirelessly to bring our floors back to life. When he walked into our house he said this is going to change your house and

Bart did a great job explaining the process to my wife and I, laid out multiple color choices for us to choose from and then put in the work to get our floors done in just a couple of days. When all was said and done they did a great job of explaining what

I had new hardwood installed in the kitchen of my 1950s Richfield home. I was concerned about the new flooring matching the 60+ year old hardwood in the rest of the home. The match turned out flawless! Work was done timely, fairly priced, and the quality is exceptional. Great crew of experienced guys at Earls, highly recommend them for any hardwood job!
