Floor Sanding & Polishing in Hawthorne
Dyna Floors has been restoring timber floors across Brisbane since 2012, and Hawthorne is one of the riverside suburbs we know well.

Floor sanding in Hawthorne costs $45–$90/m², most jobs land $55–$75/m².

Deck sanding and re-coating in Hawthorne
Brisbane sun and rain are hard on timber decks, and Hawthorne’s riverside indoor-outdoor homes cop it more than most. We sand weathered, grey deck boards back to fresh timber and re-coat them with durable exterior finishes — restoring the colour and protecting the deck for years of use. Deck jobs are quoted separately from interior floors — send us a photo and we’ll give you a straight price.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Same range as the rest of Brisbane — $45–$90 per square metre depending on job size and floor condition, with most jobs landing $55–$75/m². See our full Floor Sanding Cost Brisbane guide for the breakdown by job size, condition and finish.
-
Often, yes. Original boards under paint or old finish usually need heavier sanding and more punch/putty work, which sits toward the top of the $45–$90/m² range.
-
River humidity and the odd flood scare mean Hawthorne floors cop more moisture movement than most — boards can cup or gap seasonally. We check moisture content before sanding and use finishes that handle the swings, so the result lasts.
-
With so many Hawthorne homes opening onto decks and courtyards, satin is the popular pick — it handles sand, grit and wet feet without showing every mark. We’ll bring samples so you can compare sheens on your own boards.
-
Yes. We colour and finish-match new sections to existing floor like hoop pine, blackbutt, or spotted gum so repairs blend in.
-
Yes — weathered grey deck boards can be sanded back and re-coated with exterior finishes. Deck jobs are quoted separately from interior floors.
-
Usually, yes. We sand both to the same level and can stain to bring the tones closer, though a century of age difference never disappears completely — we’ll show you on a test patch first.
-
Light foot traffic is fine within about 24 hours of the final coat; furniture typically 2–3 days, rugs a week or so. We’ll give exact timing for your finish.
-
Where the job needs it, yes — especially handy for tenanted or busy family homes. Ask when booking.
-
Our Lagler machines run Festool extraction, capturing the vast majority at the source. There’s always a little fine dust with any sanding job, but nothing like old-school methods.
