Floor sanding in Shorewood

What we find in Shorewood houses

Shorewood is dense and it is old. Most of the village was built between 1910 and 1930 — Polish flats, side-by-side duplexes, brick bungalows, and the bigger colonials toward Lake Drive.

Duplexes are the bulk of the work here, and they come with their own rhythm: an owner who lives in the lower and rents the upper usually wants both units done, but not at the same time. We can stage it a unit at a time so you keep the rent coming in. Shorewood floors are typically narrow-strip red oak, sometimes maple in the kitchens, and the stairs almost always need attention at the same time as the floors.

What a job looks like

• We look at the floor and check remaining thickness before quoting
• Loose and damaged boards handled before any sanding starts
• Full grit sequence — 36, 60, 80, 100 — no skipped steps
• Three coats of finish, waterborne or oil-modified
• Stairs quoted per tread if you want them matched
