Hardwood refinishing is sometimes a necessity

Hardwood floor refinishing can be necessary or an option to change your floor's look to match a specific visual requirement. This process caters to several needs simultaneously, so learning more about how it could affect your home is worth your time. In addition, hardwood refinishing is one of the reasons these floors can offer lifespans of more than 100 years, so here's what you need to know about the process for your home.

Sometimes, it's easy to see that your floors need to be refinished; other times, it takes a professional assessment. For example, wood floor refinishing becomes necessary when there is excessive wear, where the finish has worn off, or where damage threatens the lifespan of your flooring. Refinishing also works well if you want a brand-new look with a different color or texture to match an interior design change.

Before any work starts, we'll tell you everything about the service and what you can expect throughout the process. Then, if you have questions, we'll happily answer them to give you the assurance you need to move forward. Sanding floors will be first after the rooms are cleared, and valuables are removed.

Once the hardwood floor refinishing process is complete, the surface must be given plenty of time to dry. We recommend not walking on your floors for at least 24 hours and only in sock feet. However, we recommend at least 48 hours before the furniture is moved back into the room, especially if the pieces are heavy.
