Our Refinishing Process

STEP 1

Assessment And Preparation

Our refinishing process begins with a thorough assessment of your hardwood floors. We inspect the condition of the wood, identify any areas of damage or wear, and discuss your desired outcome. Afterward, we meticulously prepare the surface by cleaning, repairing any imperfections, and ensuring it’s free of debris.

STEP 2

Sanding

Using advanced sanding equipment and techniques, we carefully sand the hardwood surface to remove old finishes, scratches, and blemishes. This step is essential for achieving a smooth and even surface, providing the perfect foundation for the refinishing process.

step 3

Staining (Optional)

If you desire a change in color or wish to enhance the natural beauty of your hardwood floors, we offer a variety of staining options to suit your preferences. Our experienced team will guide you through the selection process, helping you choose the perfect stain to complement your space.

STEP 4

Finishing

Once the desired color is achieved (if staining is chosen), we apply multiple coats of premium-quality finish to protect and seal the hardwood surface. Whether you prefer a matte, satin, or glossy finish, we have options to suit every style and preference. Our goal is to ensure your floors not only look stunning but also withstand the test of time.

FAQ

How long does the hardwood floor refinishing process typically take?

The duration of the refinishing process can vary depending on factors such as the size of the area, the extent of the damage, and the specific refinishing techniques used. On average, however, a typical hardwood floor refinishing project can take anywhere from 2 to 5 days to complete.

Will I need to vacate my home or business during the refinishing process?

While it’s not always necessary to vacate the premises, it’s highly recommended to minimize foot traffic and keep pets away from the area being refinished. The strong odors and fumes from the staining and finishing products may be bothersome to some individuals, so proper ventilation is essential.

How often should hardwood floors be refinished?

The frequency of refinishing depends on various factors, including the type of hardwood, the level of foot traffic, and the maintenance routine. In general, hardwood floors should be refinished every 7 to 10 years to maintain their appearance and integrity. However, high-traffic areas may require more frequent refinishing.

Can scratches and dents in hardwood floors be repaired during the refinishing process?

Yes, minor scratches, dents, and other surface imperfections can often be repaired as part of the refinishing process. Our skilled technicians will assess the condition of your hardwood floors and recommend the appropriate repairs to restore their beauty and durability.

Is it possible to change the color of my hardwood floors during refinishing?

Absolutely! If you’re looking to update the look of your hardwood floors, we offer a variety of staining options to achieve the desired color and finish. Our experts will work with you to select the perfect stain that complements your interior design style and preferences.

How soon can furniture be placed back on the refinished hardwood floors?

It’s best to wait at least 24 to 48 hours after the final coat of finish has been applied before placing furniture back onto the refinished hardwood floors. This allows sufficient time for the finish to cure and harden properly, minimizing the risk of any damage or marks.

Will there be any odors or fumes during the refinishing process?

Yes, there may be some odors and fumes associated with the staining and finishing products used during the refinishing process. However, we take precautions to minimize these odors by providing adequate ventilation and using low-VOC (volatile organic compound) or eco-friendly products whenever possible.

Is hardwood floor refinishing suitable for all types of hardwood flooring?

In most cases, hardwood floor refinishing is suitable for solid hardwood floors as well as some engineered hardwood floors with a thick enough wear layer. However, certain factors such as the condition of the wood and the thickness of the top layer will be considered during the assessment process to determine suitability.
