Professional Wood sanding and refinishing in Wimberley

Wimberley homeowners with worn, scratched, or dated hardwood floors can restore their beauty and extend their life through professional sanding and refinishing—transforming tired floors into stunning focal points. At CC Floors Austin & CTX Renovate, we've been bringing hardwood floors back to life throughout Wimberley since 2015—combining skilled craftsmanship with quality materials to serve this charming Hays County community in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.

Hardwood floor refinishing breathes new life into existing floors at a fraction of replacement cost. Even severely worn hardwood can be restored to like-new condition through proper sanding and refinishing. Scratches disappear, dull finishes regain luster, and outdated colors transform to match your current design aesthetic. For Wimberley homes with solid hardwood floors—whether original to historic properties or installed decades ago—refinishing represents exceptional value, preserving the authentic character and warmth of real wood.

As a family-owned Central Texas flooring company, we use professional-grade sanding equipment and premium finishing products for all Wimberley refinishing projects. Our dust containment sanding systems minimize airborne dust, creating healthier work environments and reducing cleanup. We supply commercial-quality stains and finish coatings directly from leading manufacturers, ensuring durable, beautiful results. Our direct supply model provides quality materials without retail markup.

Wimberley's character as an artistic Hill Country community with a mix of historic homes, weekend retreats, and contemporary builds creates diverse hardwood refinishing opportunities. Whether you're restoring floors in a vintage Wimberley cottage, refreshing a Blanco River property, or updating a modern home in Blue Hole Regional Park area, our refinishing expertise enhances your property's beauty and value. We've worked throughout Wimberley and surrounding areas, earning trust through quality work and reliable service.

The refinishing process begins with a complimentary consultation at your Wimberley property. Our experienced team examines your hardwood floors, evaluates their condition, determines species and current finish, and assesses whether refinishing is appropriate. Not all floors are candidates for refinishing—engineered hardwood with thin wear layers or floors with extensive structural damage may require replacement instead. We provide honest assessments and realistic expectations. Contact our office at (512) 769-2292 or reach us directly at (713) 444-4625 to schedule your consultation.

Floor sanding is the critical first step in refinishing. We use professional drum sanders and edgers to remove old finish and level the wood surface. This process requires significant skill—improper sanding techniques can create waves, gouges, or uneven surfaces that show through finished floors. Our experienced craftsmen control sanding depth carefully, removing just enough material to eliminate scratches and old finish while preserving maximum wood thickness for future refinishing.

Multiple sanding passes with progressively finer grits create smooth surfaces ready for staining and finishing. We typically complete three sanding passes—coarse grit to remove old finish and deep scratches, medium grit to refine the surface, and fine grit to create smooth, stain-ready floors. Between passes, we vacuum thoroughly and check for any remaining finish or imperfections requiring attention.

Dust containment during sanding is a priority. Modern dustless sanding equipment captures approximately 95 percent of sanding dust at the source, preventing it from settling throughout your Wimberley home. While some fine dust is inevitable in refinishing projects, our professional equipment dramatically reduces dust compared to older sanding methods. We also seal doorways and use air scrubbers to further minimize dust migration.

Stain selection allows you to customize your hardwood floor color. We offer extensive stain options from natural clear finishes that showcase wood's authentic color to rich dark espresso tones creating dramatic contemporary looks. Popular Wimberley choices include warm honey tones, classic medium browns, trendy gray washes, and whitewashed finishes. We provide sample boards stained on your actual wood species so you can visualize final results before committing.

Wood species affects how stain appears. Oak accepts stain very evenly, making it ideal for consistent color. Maple and pine can absorb stain unevenly, creating blotchy appearance without proper conditioning. Hickory's varied grain creates natural color variation that adds character. We understand each species' staining characteristics and adjust our process accordingly, ensuring beautiful, consistent results regardless of your Wimberley home's wood type.

Finish coatings protect your newly sanded and stained floors while determining sheen level and durability. We offer oil-based polyurethane for traditional amber warmth and superior durability, water-based polyurethane for clear, non-yellowing protection and faster drying, and commercial-grade finishes for maximum wear resistance in high-traffic areas. Each finish type offers distinct advantages—we'll recommend the best option based on your lifestyle, traffic levels, and aesthetic preferences.

Sheen level impacts both appearance and practicality. Matte finishes hide minor scratches and create understated elegance. Satin finishes offer subtle luster and easier maintenance—our most popular Wimberley choice. Semi-gloss provides noticeable shine and enhanced durability. High-gloss creates dramatic reflective surfaces for formal spaces. We apply multiple finish coats, sanding lightly between coats for optimal adhesion and smoothness.

Drying and curing time varies by finish type. Water-based polyurethane dries quickly, often allowing light foot traffic within hours and full use within several days. Oil-based polyurethane requires longer drying—typically several days before light traffic and up to two weeks for full cure. We provide specific care instructions and timelines for your chosen finish, ensuring you protect your investment during the critical curing period.

Our commitment to cleanliness extends throughout refinishing projects. Despite dust containment equipment, refinishing generates some debris. We protect your furnishings, vacuum thoroughly between each process step, and perform complete cleanup upon project completion. When we finish your Wimberley hardwood floors, you'll find beautiful results and a spotless home.

We stand behind our Wimberley refinishing work with a comprehensive 5-year workmanship warranty covering finish adhesion, application quality, and installation-related issues. This warranty, combined with manufacturer finish product warranties, provides complete confidence in your refinished floors. Few refinishing contractors offer this level of guarantee, but we believe in doing excellent work and backing it up.

Refinishing timelines depend on square footage and finish selection. Most Wimberley residential refinishing projects require 3-5 days from start to finish—sanding, staining if desired, and applying multiple finish coats with drying time between. Water-based finishes speed the process; oil-based finishes extend it. We provide realistic timelines during consultation and work efficiently while maintaining quality standards.

Maintenance recommendations help extend your refinished floors' beauty. We advise felt pads under furniture, area rugs in high-traffic zones, immediate spill cleanup, and regular sweeping or vacuuming. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive water. Properly maintained refinished hardwood can look beautiful for decades before needing another refinishing.

Not all floor damage requires complete refinishing. Sometimes screening and recoating addresses minor wear. This process lightly abrades existing finish without sanding through to bare wood, then applies fresh finish coats. Screening costs less and completes faster than full refinishing but only works when existing finish is in good condition with minimal wear. We'll honestly assess whether your Wimberley floors need full refinishing or would benefit from screening.
