Bring the Character Back to Your Hardwood Floors
Reliable floor sanding, custom staining, and hardwood refinishing for homes throughout Lincoln and Southeast Nebraska.
Restore What You Already Own
Restore Your Floors. Don’t Replace Them.
Hardwood is made to be renewed. Sanding and refinishing can restore the color, character, and protection of the floor already in your home. Unlike flooring that must be removed when its surface fails, many hardwood floors can be repaired and refinished more than once. We’ll inspect your floor, explain what can realistically be improved, and recommend the right approach for your home.

"Could not recommend Carl Bohlmeyer enough!! I was 37 weeks pregnant, Doug and Matt were able to come quote us, repair existing flooring, and finish the house in two weeks. Matt was even able to make transition pieces for us to add to the new door we put in."

"The many years in the trade showed from start to finish, from the detailed labor to the minimal mess that was left behind for such a big job. I felt their cost was very reasonable and they completed the job in the promised amount of time. I highly recommend Carl and his team and will call on them again in the future."
