Pegram TN Sand and refinish job with steps












Hey Kevin Family is coming next week can you get this done? Sure.

We started this job on a Thursday and finished it on Saturday and I feel its a good example of what to expect when going through a sand and refinish project. The scope was 600 sq ft or a living dinning hall and kitchen floor steps and landings, this area is most of the downstairs the client moved all the furniture. On Thursday we sanded all day into Friday and coated the floor by 2pm went back on Saturday morning for the final coat and put up the shoe molding. So what did we do,


  • First thing Thursday we took up all the old shoe molding and brought the big belt sander in you belt sand 2 times once with 60 grit and then again with 100 grit and edge along the walls we fill in between sandings.
  • Next we buff the floor with an orbital sander 2 times with 150 grit and 220 grit screen paper edging along the sides every time with that grit of paper. and every time you sand you have to clean up the dust created we use a shop vac to cut down on the dust created.
  • Now the floor is completely sanded we are going to clean the floor with Paint Thinner picking up all the small particles of dust missed from vacuuming or sweeping.
  • Once the floor is clean one man is going to cut the floor in while the other is going to poly the middle and work our way to the door.
  • Now we have to wait for the floor to dry, we come back the next day buff the floor clean the floor and repeat coating the floor.
We did fix some spots in the floor and the steps and railing adding to the time it took to do this job.
