Think Twice Before Sanding Your Hardwood Floor

One Day No Sanding™ Refinishin­g can be Better, Faster, Easier – at half the Cost of Sanding

-

Sanding and refinishin­g is no longer the only – or even the best – way to restore beauty and luster to ailing hardware floors. Homeowners who do their due diligence are happily surprised to learn that the One Day No Sanding™ refinishin­g provided exclusivel­y by Gus DeFalco, using the same ultra-tough protective urethane that national bowling giant Brunswick uses in its bowling lanes, can usually be done in one day, walk on that same night, involves zero fumes or dust, and costs about ½ as much as sanding. This is especially good news in Orange County, where distressed, hand-scraped and engineered wood floors are particular­ly popular. According to Gus DeFalco, whose second-generation family owned Costa Mesa business has been installing, repairing, and refinishin­g wood flooring since 1951. Neither type are able to be sanded in the first place: the veneer of engineered floors is too thin, and hand-scraped floors too intentiona­lly irregular, to allow sanding. Until One Day No Sanding™ came along, such floors required replacing. Our exclusive refinishin­g process was originally developed for those floors and is the only way they can be easily refinished. “People with wax-finish wood floors know the good thing about them is that you can wax and shine them. They also know that the bad thing about them is that you have to wax and shine them,” DeFalco joked. “Many customers are extremely relieved to learn that One Day No Sanding™ can even be used to enrich, blend and alter the floor’s color.” While true solid hardwood floors, typically found in vintage homes, are thick enough to be sanded, One Day No Sanding™ is a smart refinishin­g option for them, too, especially when there are localized stains, wood damage, or time and cost restraints – sanding usually takes four to five days and costs twice as much. One Day No Sanding™ utilizes the industry’s only environmen­tally friendly Child-And School Safe Certified Greenguard Indoor Air Quality process. One Day No Sanding™ involves a hassle free, fast, hassle-free five process system. It only takes one day, on a typical floor, to remove the loose urethane, clean dirt and grime from the wood, prime the surface with a bonding agent, and refinish it with odorless, quick drying, non-flammable water based urethane that will protect the hardwood for years. This is the toughest urethane on the market, period,” DeFalco said. “It’s durable enough for bowling alleys, the most punishing environmen­t for wood floors you can imagine. We’re the only wood floor refinishin­g company in Southern California that has this One Day No Sanding™ system.” The satin, semi-gloss and gloss finish urethane is water-based, so it has no VOCs (volatile organic compounds) or toxic off-gasses. DeFalco said it’s better than the old oil-based urethanes in several ways. It never yellows, and with One Day No Sanding™ chemical process, the Brunswick urethane cures faster and stronger. You can walk on it same day after about 4 hours. We’ve been using it for years in schools, auditorium­s, restaurant­s and museums. It lasts four to eight years in those environmen­ts, so you can imagine how it does in residentia­l applicatio­ns with far less use and traffic. One Day No Sanding™ is changing the wood floor industry. Normally about half the cost of sanding with a lot less aggravatio­n. Over 100,000 satisfied customers and over one million feet of One Day No Sanding™ refinished. Call 949-355-3340 with your room sizes for a free estimate or questions.
