Products & Services

Welcome!
My name is Dan Praz, and I am the President and CEO of Mr. Sandless
My wife and I started a home cleaning service right after we were married. We serviced fifteen houses each week for seven straight years. That's a lot of house cleaning! One home we serviced was owned by a doctor, who hired me to service his office as well. He had a medium sized office, with tile floors. The doctor told me I could try anything I wanted on the floors, as long as I got them to look good. Each week I experimented, until I found a way to keep those tile floors shining!
But it was my floor work with churches that led me to discover this special way to bring wood back to life. One church I serviced has an enormous parsonage that they were going to rent out. It had nothing but wood floors in almost every room. As most churches go, their budget was tight, and although many of the rooms needed sanding, the church couldn't afford it. Church trustees met with me, and asked me a favor—if I could somehow figure out a way to get the floors looking good, while still staying in the budget they had to work with. Once again, one of my clients gave me the ability to experiment, until I could come up with something that would work.
At first, I did a room following a standard janitorial guideline that I found in a book, using a 100-grit pad and oil. What a disaster! I knew there had to be a better way! I decided to try my tile refinishing method on the very next room! My crew at the time would not join me in the process, insisting that I would damage the wood. So I had them hand me the materials from the hallway while I work the room alone. When I was finished, they were shocked, and admitted that they were wrong—the process worked on the wood floor. I'll never forget the look of those church members when they entered and saw how incredible I got the wood floors to look! I even came in under budget!
It was at that point I knew I had found something great! From that one parsonage, I received several referrals, and each subsequent floor, no matter how beat-up or terrible it looked, just kept coming out looking awesome! Within a few jobs, I adjusted the solutions I used to better fit the qualities of wood, and worked another three years to perfect the service. During that time, I serviced nearly 500 homes with 100% client satisfaction. It was at that time that I decided to bring my service to the entire country.
Since that time, Mr. Sandless™ has refinished thousands of wood floors, with excellent results! We do our best for our clients and promise to work hard to give you the professional service you deserve! We are honest with what we can achieve and put everything in writing to you before the job begins. So very many people have trusted me over the years with their floors— you can feel confident in placing your trust in my company. We truly care about each and every client we service!
