Professional hardwood floor sanding and varnishing in Paris and Île-de-France. François Gaillard, independent craftsman. Fixed rate 63 € VAT/m². Free quote by SMS. 220+ Google reviews 4.9/5.
Floor sanding is the mechanical process of abrading the surface of a solid hardwood floor to remove scratches, stains and irregularities, before applying a protective varnish finish. In Paris, this service is essential for the renovation of Haussmann-era parquet floors — herringbone (point de Hongrie), Versailles pattern, and straight-plank oak — found in thousands of 19th-century apartments.
François Gaillard has been sanding and varnishing hardwood floors in Paris since 2016. Based in Montrouge (92120), adjacent to the 14th arrondissement, he covers all 20 Paris arrondissements and the entire Île-de-France region.
One price, everything included — no hidden fees, no negotiation, no surprise invoices. The 63 € VAT/m² covers complete planetary sanding + 3 coats Bona Mega Evo professional varnish + sanding between coats. The same rate applies throughout Paris, regardless of the neighbourhood or floor level.
Price examples:
Studio 25 m² → 1,575 € VAT
2-room apartment 45 m² → 2,835 € VAT
3-room apartment 70 m² → 4,410 € VAT
Large apartment 120 m² → 7,560 € VAT
François Gaillard uses the HTC Husqvarna planetary sanding machine exclusively — three satellite discs working simultaneously in all directions. This machine is indispensable for diagonal patterns (herringbone, Versailles) where drum sanders leave visible directional marks. The result is perfectly homogeneous, with no marks regardless of the floor pattern.
All floors are finished with 3 coats of Bona Mega Evo — a professional water-based varnish certified EMICODE EC1PLUS and GREENGUARD Gold (low VOC, safe for children and pets). Non-yellowing, 10-15 year lifespan. Re-entry 8 hours after the final coat.
