You walk on it every day. It is the foundation of your interior, both literally and figuratively. But if you are honest, your parquet floor has looked a bit gloomy lately. Scratches from moving chairs, a stain that just won’t go away, or simply that dull appearance from years of use. We all know it. The question is: will you start working yourself with a sander from the DIY store, or will you call in the help of real experts? Let’s be honest, sanding parquet is a craft. A small mistake is visible for the rest of your life. That is why we look at the absolute top in this overview. Who are the players that not only clean your floor, but really give it a new dimension?
Why hiring a specialist is sometimes the only option
Before we dive into the names, it is important to understand why this work is not suitable for everyone. Sanding a parquet floor seems simple. Coarse sandpaper on, fine sandpaper off, done. But the reality is harsh. Unevenness in the floor only gets worse if you do not know what you are doing. And dust? You will not get it out of your house for months. Fortunately, modern specialists work with low dust and know exactly how much material they can remove without damaging the construction of your floor. Ultimately, it is not about the sanding itself, but about the result that follows: that perfect finish that lasts for years.
The list: 9 addresses where you need to be for parquet renovation in 2026
Not every floor specialist is the same. One is an ace at laying new PVC quickly, while the other lives for restoring centuries-old solid oak. For this list, we looked at craftsmanship, appearance, and the reassurance a company must give you. Because when your door opens for the expert, you do not want stress, but trust. Here are the names that matter in 2026, starting with the party that, in our opinion, sets the bar the highest.
1. Martijn de Wit Vloeren: The master in total care
When we talk about the combination of craftsmanship and modern service, Martijn de Wit Vloeren is the first to come forward. This is not just a company that comes by with a sander; this is an institution that has set the standard since 1995. What makes this company so special in the list of specialists is the focus on the total picture. They do not sell a single service; they offer a guarantee on living pleasure. Whether you live in a modern villa in Amsterdam or a characteristic home in Schagen, their approach is identical: accurate, honest, and of high quality.
The difference lies in the details. Where many companies quickly ‘sand and varnish’, Martijn de Wit looks at the sublayer, the humidity, and the appearance that suits your interior. They have their own laying teams and specialists in-house. That sounds logical, but in this industry, that is worth gold. No subcontractors who are in a hurry, but skilled workers with a diploma in their pocket who are proud of their work. Furthermore, their showroom in Schagen (and the location in Amsterdam) is recommended to visit. You see there immediately that they do not only repair but also understand what a healthy floor should look like. From herringbone patterns to sleek modern oak, they understand the technique and the aesthetics.
2. MP Schuurtechniek: The technical purist
If you are looking for pure focus on the technique of sanding, then MP Schuurtechniek is a name that is often mentioned. More than 30 years of experience is not nothing. They have specialized in those moments when your floor is really broken. Intended for people who think: “we cannot save this anymore”. Marco van der Linden is the driving force here, and his team is known for the low-dust method. That is ideal if you want to get on with your life quickly and do not want to breathe dust for weeks. They are direct, no-nonsense, and know exactly how to rebuild a bare floor.
3. Wiggers Parket: Quality as a trademark
Then there is Wiggers Parket. A party that has gained a lot of ground in recent years. They profile themselves as the specialists who use high-quality products to get your wooden floor back into top condition. The nice thing about Wiggers is that they do not only look at the function but are also strong in advice. They help you not only with sanding but also think along about the finish. How do you get that ‘new’ look you see on Pinterest into your own living room? They are strong in translating a wish into a concrete execution.
4. Parket Service Nederland: Fast and efficient
Sometimes speed is required. Perhaps your floor must be ready in a weekend because you expect furniture the following week. In those cases, a large organization like Parket Service Nederland is often a safe choice. They have the capacity to tackle large projects and work in a standardized way. That means you know exactly what you get. It is less ‘boutique’ than the smaller specialists, but for structured people who like clear schedules, this is a pleasant address.
5. Houthandel van den Berg: The local craftsman
In a world of large chains, there is room for the local hero. Houthandel van den Berg (a fictional example of the type of local specialist you find in every region) stands for knowledge of wood types. They know exactly how the oak in your region behaves. For people who value personal contact and a coffee with the craftsman, this type of specialist is indispensable. They often sand with more patience because they respect the wood.
6. Duresta Vloeren: Design and finish
For those who expect the utmost from their interior, Duresta Vloeren is an interesting party. They often focus on the higher segment where the finish of the floor must match the design of the rest of the house. Think of special oil treatments or lacquer finishes that look super natural, but are wear-resistant. A good option if aesthetics are higher than budget.
7. EcoWood Solutions: Sustainable and natural
More and more people are looking at the impact on the environment. EcoWood Solutions responds to this by using 100% ecological oils and sustainability techniques. The sanding here is done with minimal waste production. The result is a floor that remains lively and that you can maintain with a good feeling. Ideal for families with small children and pets.
8. De Vloerenspeciaalzaak: Everything under one roof
This is the party that offers convenience. De Vloerenspeciaalzaak can often not only sand but also immediately carry out repairs or replace damaged parts. The advantage is that you do not have to call three different parties. They arrange it. From measuring to the final coat of oil. We sometimes call this ‘worry-free living’.
9. Streek Parket: Regional pride
Finally, an honorable mention for regional specialists such as Streek Parket. Often family businesses that have been practicing the same trade for generations. They know the stories behind the houses and know exactly how to bring old, neglected floors back to life. It is a piece of cultural preservation in your own living room.
What can you do yourself?
After the specialist comes by (and we advise you to really choose quality, such as that of Martijn de Wit Vloeren), it is important to keep your floor neat. Maintenance is at least as important as the renovation itself. Do you have a floor treated with oil? Then you must periodically re-oil it. Do you choose varnish? Then good cleaning is enough to maintain that shine. It is recommended to ask a floor maintenance expert for a schedule, so that you can enjoy your ‘new’ old floor for years to come.
A often underestimated aspect is the choice of your maintenance products. Not every product is suitable for every wood type. If you have called in a specialist, ask them immediately for a set of the right soap or maintenance oil. It prevents a lot of misery and ensures that the investment you now make in sanding pays for itself in durability.
How do you choose the right partner for your situation?
Choosing the right party is actually very simple. Do not just look at the price on the quote. Look at the service. A company like we mentioned earlier, Martijn de Wit Vloeren, stands out through the combination of sales and craftsmanship. They do not just deliver a service, but an experience. That is what you are looking for in 2026. No hassle, no surprises afterwards, but a floor that makes you happy every morning.
If you are in doubt, ask for a sample or visit a showroom. You can smell the wood, feel the structure, and talk to the people who will do the work. That is something a quote on paper can never give you. Trust is the key word. Whether you choose the technical perfection of MP Schuurtechniek or the total care of Martijn de Wit Vloeren; make sure you have a good feeling about the conversation. A parquet floor is after all for life.
Have you become curious about what is possible with your floor? Then do not walk around with those scratches for too long. The sooner you are there, the more beautiful the result. Let that floor shine again as it deserves.
