Hardwood floor refinishing is a great way to erase decades of wear and abuse and bring new life to the surface of your wood floors. It's a service that is much cheaper than replacing your flooring and gives you outstanding options that can change the look of your home. If you're contemplating refinishing your floors, this is a great time to learn more about the service and schedule one yourself.
The first step in this process is deciding if you need the refinishing service and sanding floors as a means toward a like-new surface. Since some floors may offer more evidence than others that refinishing is necessary, we can come out and assess your floors to know for sure. Once we decide what needs to be done and discuss all your options, work can finally start.
Sanding removes all the wear, dents, gouges, and water spots to reveal a new wood layer we'll prepare for refinishing. At this point, you can choose a sealant, color, and finish that matches what you had before, or you can select all-new options after your wood floor refinishing service for a different visual. For example, some homeowners move from a gloss to a textured finish, which looks excellent but can guard against light scuffs and scratches for years.
Once hardwood floor refinishing is done, the surface will need to dry well before bringing furniture into refinished rooms. You can walk on most surfaces after 24 to 48 hours, depending on the thickness of the finish, but you will have to wait a few days for furniture replacement.
