Rough Sanding
The first pass with the sanding machine is what is known as "Roughing Off." We use a lower grit paper to remove the pre-existing polyurethane and stain. This part of the process also helps ensure the floor is nice and level.

Fine Sanding
Once the rough sanding is complete, the floor is then re-sanded with a finer paper making the surface nice and smooth. The floor is now ready to be stained (if applicable) and then receive the first coat of polyurethane.
Polyurethane
Your floor will receive three coats of polyurethane to ensure it is well protected. Each coat takes roughly ~12 hours to dry (overnight). We also recommend you use felt pads on furniture to protect the floor while moving your furniture back into place.
Buff and Coat
This is the least aggressive, but fastest and most convenient option for removing light surface scratches and imperfections. If you are just performing routine maintenance on your floors, this is a great choice.
