Our Mission: Conscious Craftsmanship for Homes of Distinction

We treat your home as if it were our own—because anything less would be unacceptable. For decades, we’ve refined wood floors in some of the finest homes in the country, quietly delivering exceptional results with as little disruption as possible. Our mission is simple: to elevate your space without compromising your health, your comfort, or your peace of mind.

Our story begins with Joe, our founder, who started his career working for other companies—refinishing floors in luxury homes using the traditional products common at the time. He began to notice how many of those products came with strong odors and long off-gassing periods. It concerned him, especially when homeowners were preparing to move in with young children or newborns before the finishes had fully cured.

When Joe started his own company, he made a clear choice: to find and use newer, safer alternatives that still delivered the same level of performance and beauty. He believed—and still believes—that given the choice between high-VOC finishes and healthier options, most homeowners would choose the safer route. The trouble is, many are never offered that choice. Our work exists to change that.

Most companies will sell you finishes they don’t understand—loaded with toxins that can off-gas for up to 90 days. The truth? Many of them don’t even know what’s in the products they’re using. We do. And we believe you have the right to know, too.

Most companies will sell you finishes they don’t understand—loaded with toxins that can off-gas for up to 90 days. The truth? Many of them don’t even know what’s in the products they’re using. We do. And we believe you have the right to know, too.

We’re not just craftsmen. We’re conscious. Every finish we use is chosen not only for performance and beauty, but also for safety—for you, your family, your pets, and our crew. Our approach is rooted in transparency, precision, and care.

Refinishing wood floors is personal. It means letting strangers into your home, trusting them with something irreplaceable. We never forget that. From the moment you engage with us, we treat your home with the respect it deserves. Shoes off. Dust contained. Disruption minimized.

Our team operates like a concierge service. That means we handle everything—from site protection and prep to final cleanup—with seamless professionalism. You don’t have to micromanage or worry. You simply come home to a result that speaks for itself.

Alpine Estate

We’ve developed a refinishing system that is elegant in execution and deeply respectful of your time and space. Our boutique approach allows us to work selectively—focusing on fewer homes, and doing each one exceptionally well. No rushed jobs. No overbooked calendars. Just thoughtful, deliberate work.

Health is not a trend. It’s a responsibility. We take that responsibility seriously. That’s why we use finishes with low or no VOCs, follow best-in-class ventilation protocols, and provide full transparency on every product used in your home.

We’ve been early adopters of the healthiest finishes on the market—long before “eco-friendly” became a marketing term. For nearly two decades, we’ve used oils, hardwax finishes, and lye treatments that are safe, natural, and proven.

When you hire us, you’re hiring professionals who have worked in landmark buildings, historic estates, and architectural masterpieces. But more importantly, you’re hiring a team that listens—to your concerns, your goals, and your standards.

We work with your architect, designer, builder—or independently. Either way, we bring the same level of communication, coordination, and expertise. And when professional architects and interior designers need their own floors refinished, they come to us.

“Absolutely love my floors! Huggins is professional and personable, and the fact that they offer natural products is a huge plus (especially because my rabbit spends most of his time sprawled out on the floor). They transformed my entire apartment beautifully. I highly recommend Huggins to everyone!”

Every project begins with a clear plan. You’ll know what to expect, when to expect it, and who will be in your home. We communicate consistently, so there are no surprises—only results that exceed expectations.

There’s a reason our clients refer us again and again. It’s not just because we refinish floors beautifully. It’s because we show up exactly as promised. We respect your time. We keep your space immaculate. And we’re easy to work with.

Luxury, to us, means never having to follow up. It means the details are already handled. The surfaces protected. The crew briefed. The finish perfect. That’s the kind of service we provide—not because it’s easy, but because it’s right.

We don’t cut corners. We cut noise. Stress. Dust. Toxins. Hassle. You already have a life to live. Our job is to make your home more beautiful, and your experience more effortless, every step of the way.
