Refinishing
in Wrentham, Massachusetts.
Bring a tired floor back to better-than-new. Serving Wrentham homeowners with three generations of family craftsmanship.
What this is
If your floor is dull, scratched, or stained from decades of life — but the planks are sound — refinishing brings it back. We sand to bare wood, address spot damage, then apply finish that looks better than the day the floor was first laid.
Hardwood Refinishing & Sanding in Wrentham, Massachusetts starts at $4/sq ft* for labor,with material quoted separately and the final number set at a free in-home estimate. Kovich & Savard has been doing hardwood floor work in Norfolk County since 1928 — three generations deep, owner-led, fully insured, and rated 5.0 across every verified review platform.
For Wrentham homes specifically: New construction colonials, larger square footage. That context matters — we don't approach a 1920s Wrentham colonial the same way we'd approach a 2010 build out toward Norfolk. The wood, subfloor, and adjacent finishes all tell us what to do.
Refinishing is the highest-leverage thing you can do to a 1920s, 1960s, or 1990s home. The original wood is almost always better than what's sold today — denser, slower-grown, and milled from larger logs. A good sand-and-finish reveals it.
We use modern dust-containment systems — HEPA-filtered drum sanders connected to powered vac — so your home stays livable through the work. Our three-pass sanding sequence (40, 80, 120 grit) removes old polyurethane, scratches, and pet stains while leveling cup and crown.

What you get
Why Wrentham homeowners hire us for refinishing.
Cheaper than replacement, often by 5×
Refinishing typically runs a fraction of an installation. If your boards are sound, this is the right move 9 times out of 10.
Dust-contained equipment
Modern HEPA sanders capture 95%+ of airborne dust. Your kitchen cabinets and HVAC don't pay the price for your floors.
Custom stain matching
We mix on-site to match an heirloom piece, a kitchen cabinet, or a sample swatch. Stain panels go down before any finish so you sign off on the exact color.
Process
How refinishing works in Wrentham.
- 01
Free assessment
We come look at the floor in person. Some floors look beat but only need a screen-and-recoat (much cheaper). We'll tell you which yours is.
- 02
Furniture out, room sealed
We move and protect what you can't. Plastic sheeting and zip walls isolate the work zone.
- 03
Three-pass sanding
40 → 80 → 120 grit, plus edge sanders for perimeters and a buffer for uniformity.
- 04
Stain panels (optional)
Three to five stain options applied directly to your floor for you to choose from.
- 05
Finish, 3 coats
Three coats of premium poly with intercoat abrasion. Each coat cures before the next.
- 06
Cure & furniture return
Walkable in 24 hours. Furniture-safe in 72. Rugs after 14 days.

FAQ
Common questions.
How much does refinishing cost in Wrentham?
Refinishing in Wrentham typically starts at $4/sq ft*. Final pricing depends on subfloor condition, square footage, species, and finish system. Every estimate is free and itemized in writing.
How many times can hardwood be refinished?
Solid 3/4" can typically be refinished 4–5 times, taking off about 1/16" of wear layer each time. We'll measure remaining tongue depth at the assessment so you know where you stand.
Do you do screen-and-recoat?
Yes — when a floor only needs to be lightly abraded and recoated (no stain, no deep scratches), screen-and-recoat is roughly half the cost and finishes in two days.
What about pet stains?
Black pet stains are tannic acid that's penetrated the wood. We can sand most out; stubborn ones get bleached with oxalic acid before staining. We'll set expectations honestly before work starts.
