How we sand
Dustless Floor Refinishing
The old open-bag machines put a fine haze of wood dust into every cabinet, vent, and picture frame in the house. Ours do not.

What dustless means here
Every machine on the job — drum sander, edger, and buffer — is hosed to a sealed collection unit that captures the dust at the cutting head. Doorways are plasticked off, return vents are covered, and the floor is vacuumed and tacked before any finish goes down.
It is honest to say it is not sterile. Some fine dust still settles on horizontal surfaces. What clients notice is the difference in degree: no grey film on the kitchen counters, no dust blown through the HVAC, nothing to repaint.
Why it matters for occupied homes
Dust control is what makes it realistic to stay in the house while the floors are done, which is the difference between a three-day project and a week in a hotel. It also matters for households with asthma, infants, or anyone sensitive to airborne particulate.
