Skala Painting Hardwood Refinishing Gallery

Below is a curated gallery showcasing hardwood floor refinishing projects by Skala Painting. Each set highlights the transformation from worn, damaged, or dated floors to restored, beautiful hardwood with durable finishes. Use these examples to see our craftsmanship, choice of stains, finish sheens, and attention to detail—baseboard and transition restoration, repair of gaps and scratches, and consistent sanding and finishing for a smooth, long-lasting result.

What to look for in each project:

• Before: original condition—wear patterns, discoloration, gouges, water damage, or previous finishes.

• Process: sanding, repairs (nail/panel replacement, gap filling), staining (if applied), and finish coat(s).

• After: color consistency, sheen uniformity, repaired boards, tight seams, and finished baseboards/transitions.

Featured project types:

• Full-strip refinishing (sanding to bare wood and re-coating)

• Light buff and recoat (minimal sanding, restore sheen)

• Color change via staining (natural to darker or trending gray tones)

• Repair and selective board replacement (pet damage, water-rot replacement)

• Historic restorations (preserving character while updating durability)

Photography notes:

• Images are shown in consistent lighting where possible to reflect true color and sheen.

• Close-ups focus on board joints, repaired sections, and finish texture.

• Wide shots show room scale and flow with furniture placement after completion.
