Preservation before prescription

Not every floor needs sanding

The best floor may already be in your home. Cleaning, recoating, refinishing and restoration solve different problems—the right decision begins with an honest look at the floor, not a predetermined service.


01

Revive

Professional deep cleaning

For floors that need thoughtful maintenance and a renewed appearance—not sanding.

02

Recoat

Renew and protect

A new finish coat when the existing floor and finish are suitable for professional recoating.

03

Refinish

A complete surface renewal

Dust-contained sanding, repairs when appropriate, color and sealer selection, and professional finish application.

04

Restore

Preservation-led craftsmanship

Careful evaluation and repair for original, antique, historic, or reclaimed hardwood.

Historic & reclaimed specialists

Old wood asks for judgment, not a formula. Original material can carry proportions, patina, and character that cannot simply be replaced. HQ approaches these floors with preservation in mind.
