Replacing a tired floor is expensive and often unnecessary. Jopie Construction Group is a Hamilton-based floor sanding company — we come to your home or business anywhere in Hamilton and the surrounding area, sand hardwood and concrete floors back to a smooth, even surface with dust-controlled equipment, then refinish them to bring back the colour and protect the wood.

How long does it take?
Sanding and finishing a typical room takes 2–4 days. Floors need 24–72 hours before light use and longer before rugs or heavy furniture, depending on the finish.
How we work
Inspect & quote
We check the floor's condition and what it needs, and quote it.
Prep the room
Clear and protect the space and set up dust control.
Sand
Coarse-to-fine passes for an even, smooth surface — edges included.
Finish
Stain and seal, then let it cure properly before the room goes back in use.
What can go wrong with floor sanding — and how we prevent it
- Not enough wood left to sand. Some floors are too thin or too worn. We check before quoting and tell you honestly if replacing is smarter.
- Stains that will not lift. Deep pet stains and water marks may remain visible. We set expectations at the walkthrough.
- Dust everywhere. Old-style sanding spreads dust. We use dust-controlled equipment and seal off the work area.
- Finish that is disturbed while curing. Furniture and traffic too soon ruin a good finish. We give exact timing for light and full use.
Why Jopie
Refinishing costs a fraction of replacement and keeps the floor you already have. Done right, a worn-out floor looks new again — with the character that only real wear and real wood give it.
What a client says

Once floors are done, walls and trim look tired next to them — see painting.
FAQ
Are you a local Hamilton floor sanding company?
Yes — we're based in Hamilton and our own crew does the sanding and refinishing, and we travel to homes and businesses across Hamilton and the surrounding area.
Can my old hardwood be saved?
Usually, yes. As long as there's enough wood left to sand, most hardwood can be refinished instead of replaced. We'll tell you honestly after a look.
Is floor sanding really dusty?
We use dust-controlled sanding equipment that captures most of the dust as we work, so it's far cleaner than old-style sanding. Some fine dust is normal but we keep it contained.
How long before I can walk on it?
After the final coat, floors need time to cure. We'll give you exact timing for light use and full use based on the finish we apply.
Do you refinish concrete floors too?
Yes — we sand and prep concrete floors for finishing or coating, which is common in basements and commercial spaces.
How much does floor sanding cost in Hamilton?
