Restoring the Natural Beauty, Value & Longevity of Your Home’s Flooring 
Hardwood floors are one of the most timeless and valuable features in any home — especially in classic New England properties across Medford, Somerville, Cambridge, Arlington, Belmont and Watertown. But with time, floors become scratched, worn, faded, water-stained or uneven.
Hardwood floor refinishing is the process that brings them back to life.
And when done professionally, it can completely transform the appearance and value of your home.
At LC Carpentry, we specialize in premium refinishing services designed to rejuvenate hardwood while preserving the character of older homes.

Our Premium Refinishing Process
Refinishing hardwood is a combination of carpentry, craftsmanship and technical expertise. LC Carpentry uses a multi-step method that guarantees a flawless, durable finish.
1. Dust-Controlled Sanding
We remove the old finish and sand the floors through progressively finer grits to expose a clean, even wood surface.
Our professional machines keep dust to a minimum, protecting your home during the process.
2. Board Repairs & Gap Filling
We fix issues such as:
- Loose or squeaky boards
- Water-damaged sections
- Gaps from seasonal expansion
- Minor cracks or imperfections
This prepares the flooring for a smooth, uniform finish.
3. Custom Stain Selection
Homeowners can choose from a wide range of stain tones — natural, walnut, provincial, espresso, gray blends, whitewashed looks — depending on the style of the home.
We test several samples on your actual wood so you can visualize the result before commitment.
4. Premium Polyurethane Finish
We apply multiple coats of commercial-grade polyurethane available in:
- Satin
- Matte
- Semi-gloss
- Gloss
This ensures durability, scratch resistance, and long-term beauty.
