Repairs before photos
Replace damaged boards or address an obvious patch. I’ll check how the repair can blend with the surrounding floor.

Selling a house with tired hardwood? I’ll help you work out what’s worth fixing, what can stay, and how the floor work fits your listing schedule.
Work directly with Sterling
Start with the floor, not a full refinish.
Some floors need a repair and a fresh coat. Others need sanding. I’ll look at the wear, the existing finish, and your timeline before recommending the work.
You get a written scope and price to discuss with the seller. We’ll also talk through access, drying and cure time, and when the rooms can be staged.
How I can help
The right amount of work for the house.
Buff & coat
For suitable floors with finish wear, a buff and coat may restore protection and even out the sheen without a full sanding.
Sanding & refinishing
For deeper wear or a color change, we’ll plan the sanding, stain, and finish around when the property needs to be ready.
A listing date is part of the plan.
Tell me the date before we set the scope. I’ll explain what the work involves and confirm availability before you commit. Finish cure time matters for rugs, furniture, and staging.
Take a look at my work →Before we get started
A few practical questions.
Can you take a look before we list?
Yes. Send the property details and timing, and we’ll arrange the next step. A floor assessment helps the seller decide which work to take on.
Can you work with a buyer after closing?
Yes. We can discuss the floor and plan work around possession and move-in. Timing and access need to be confirmed before the job is scheduled.
Will refinishing increase the sale price?
I can tell you what the floor needs and what the work costs. I can’t promise a sale price or return. That decision belongs with you and the seller.
