Hardwood Floor Refinishing

Refinishing hardwood floors is the process of restoring old or worn-out wood floors to their original beauty by removing the existing finish, sanding the wood, sometimes applying a stain, and applying a new finish! Refinishing hardwood floors can be a cost-effective way to rejuvenate your home’s flooring and give it a new lease on life!

The first step in refinishing hardwood floors is to prepare the room by removing any furniture, rugs, or other items that may be in the way. Next, the old finish is removed by sanding the floor with a floor sander. This process requires several passes with progressively finer grit sandpaper to achieve a smooth and even finish.

During the sanding process, any gaps, holes, or scratches are filled with wood filler, and the entire floor is thoroughly vacuumed and cleaned to help remove dust and debris. Next, if a stain is selected, we will apply the stain. Finally, the new finish is applied to the floor using a brush or roller. This can be a water-based, or oil-based finish, depending on your preferences!

The finish is applied in several coats, allowing each coat to dry completely before the next is applied. This creates a durable and long-lasting finish that protects the wood and enhances its natural beauty. The process typically takes several days, depending on the size of the room and the type of finish used.

Refinishing hardwood floors can breathe new life into an old or worn-out floor, providing a beautiful and durable surface for years to come. It’s important to note that refinishing floors is a labor-intensive process that requires skill and experience. Utilizing an experienced professional is recommended for optimal results!
