Professional Floor Sanding and Custom Staining

RESTORE THE FLOORS YOU ALREADY LOVE

Your hardwood floors take a beating over the years. Sun from the windows fades them, pets and furniture leave their marks, and decades of foot traffic wear the finish thin. In a lake town like Coeur d’Alene, where so many homes near the Fort Grounds and downtown still have their original wood, replacing those floors would be a shame when refinishing can make them look new again. We sand away the old finish and every scuff with it, then lay down a fresh stain and protective sheen of your choosing.

The process is straightforward. We move the furniture, protect what needs protecting, and run the floors through a coarse to fine sanding sequence until the surface is smooth and open. From there you pick the stain, from a natural clear coat that shows off the grain to a deep walnut, and we seal it with a durable finish built to stand up to daily life. Most jobs wrap up in a few days, and the difference is night and day.

There is more to a lasting result than running a sander over the boards. We read the grain, feather out deep scratches, and keep dust to a minimum so your home stays livable while we work. Homeowners from Sanders Beach to the streets above Tubbs Hill call on us because the color comes out even and the finish holds up through long Panhandle winters and dry summers. Whether your floors are red oak, maple, or old growth fir, we match a stain color that suits the room and the light it pulls off the lake.

Not sure whether it is time? A few signs make it clear. Gray or bare patches where the finish has worn through, boards that feel rough underfoot, water rings near entryways, or a color you have simply grown tired of are all good reasons to call. Older homes often hide beautiful wood under a tired finish or old carpet, and a refinish is the easiest way to uncover it without the cost and mess of tearing everything out.

We work on both homes and commercial spaces, from a single living room to an entire storefront. The dry summers and damp, snowy winters near the lake are hard on wood, and the right finish makes all the difference in how long your floors hold up. That is why we take the time to prep properly and use products we trust rather than rushing off to the next job.

Trusted Wood Floor Restoration Near You

Refinishing is one of the best returns you can get on an older home. It costs a fraction of new flooring, keeps the character of the original wood, and wraps up in days rather than weeks. If your boards are cupped, water stained, or hidden under old carpet, we will tell you honestly whether a refinish will do the job or whether a few boards need repair first, and how to keep the results looking their best afterward. Families across Kootenai County trust our team to give it to them straight and to leave their floors better than they pictured.

Testimonials

We hired Jon to refinish our 1920s original wood floors. He did about five rooms, and we loved the results so much, that we hired him again to do four more rooms and the stairs. The results were outstanding. He has an attention to detail that surpasses my expectations. I am very very happy with the results and highly recommend him to anyone. Our floors were super nasty, someone had painted them previously, and now you can’t even tell that they were ever destroyed. They look perfect.

Definitely 5 Stars for Shanks Custom Hardwood Inc. We hired Jon Shanks to refinish about 900 sq feet and install about 1400 sq ft of new hardwood floors. He also installed our hardwood staircase. He was ontime on budget and completely professional. We would use him again and have on several occasions recommended him to friends.
Sam V.
Jon has refinished floors for us in several of our rehab projects. In fact, we liked his work so much that we had him refinish the hardwood floors in our own home. He is a craftsman and uses his years of experience to deliver exactly the results you were hoping for. He has also installed new hardwood and laminate flooring in some of our projects, again, with amazing quality craftsmanship. Whether it's a rehab, rental or your own home, I highly recommend Jon for your project, too!
