Our 99% dust-free sanding system uses HEPA-filtered equipment to remove the old finish and level your hardwood — with virtually no airborne dust, no taped-off rooms, and almost no cleanup.
Our process
We assess the floor, check board thickness, and seal off vents and doorways.
HEPA-connected belt and edge sanders level cupping, scratches and old finish.
Progressive grits bring the wood to a smooth, even surface.
Every surface is HEPA-vacuumed and tacked so no dust ends up in the finish.
Two to three coats of durable low-VOC finish, buffed between coats.
Dustless hardwood floor refinishing restores your existing wood floors without replacing a single board. We sand away the worn finish and surface damage, optionally re-stain to a new colour, then seal everything with a fresh, durable finish — and every step is done with our 99% dust-free system, so your home stays clean and breathable from start to finish.
Sanding is one step — removing the old finish and leveling the wood. Refinishing is the complete restoration: sand → (optional stain) → finish & seal. Most Montréal homeowners searching for dustless floor refinishing want the finished result, and that's exactly what we quote — dust-free, start to finish.
HEPA-contained removal of the old finish, scratches and surface wear — capturing the dust at the source instead of spreading it through your home.
On-site colour matching with Bona and Rubio finishes. Explore our hardwood floor staining options.
Multiple coats of premium water-based or oil finish for a hard-wearing surface that lasts for years.
We handle board & water-damage repair before refinishing, and matching stair refinishing for a seamless result throughout.
Square footage, the floor's condition, the number of finish coats, whether you add a stain, and stair count all affect the price — most homes are finished in 3-4 days.

We bring our dust-free refinishing to homes across the South Shore and West Island, including Saint-Lambert, Brossard, Châteauguay, Côte-Saint-Luc and Pointe-Claire.
Sanding removes the old finish and levels the wood; refinishing is the complete sand-stain-seal restoration. We quote refinishing as a finished result, not just the sanding step.
Solid hardwood can typically be refinished several times over its life; engineered hardwood depends on the wear-layer thickness. See how many times hardwood can be refinished.
Our pricing is competitive with traditional refinishing — you get the dust-free benefit without a premium surprise, and a fixed quote in 24 hours.
The questions prospects ask most about this service — answered honestly by a contractor who does this every week.
Technically yes — drum-sander rentals are available in Montréal. But 80% of first-time DIYers gouge the floor in the first 30 minutes — the drum's weight and speed are unforgiving. A single pause-in-place leaves a dish the next operator has to sand the whole floor down to, burning thickness. Wood dust from oak and beech is also a CCOHS Group 1 carcinogen — without a professional HEPA system, the exposure is real. For any floor in a living area, a professional is the safer call.

The most common failure modes: visible drum-dish marks under raking light, finish that peels off in 6 months because the final grit pass didn't reach 100, uneven stain because the wood was unevenly prepared, and a remediation job that costs 3× the original pro quote. Most of the rescue projects we get started as DIY attempts — and they cost more than a fresh pro sanding because we have to grind deeper to remove the damage before we can stain.
On paper the DIY savings look attractive. In practice, after tool rental, belts, polyurethane, stain, plastic and tape, edger rental, and two weekends of work breathing fine dust indoors, the real saving shrinks substantially — for a result that lasts about half as long. If even one risk hits (dish, adhesion failure, stain blotch), the rescue job costs more than the original pro quote would have. DIY makes sense in a basement workshop you'll cover with a rug. Not in your living room.
Three measurable differences vs DIY: (1) equipment — pro drum sanders with built-in HEPA extraction vs rental sanders with soft drums that dish; (2) sequence — three grit passes (coarse, medium, fine) are required so the finish doesn't betray streaks, and most DIYers skip a pass; (3) experience on aged wood — red oak in older Montréal duplexes needs a pre-stain conditioner that isn't in the rental tool's instruction sheet.
