Frequently Asked Questions.

How do I know if my hardwood floors need restoration?

If your floors show visible scratches, dullness, stains, or warping, they may need restoration. If deep scratches or discoloration are widespread, sanding and refinishing can bring them back to life.

How long does the hardwood floor restoration process take?

The process typically takes 2 to 5 days, depending on the floor’s condition, the size of the area, and the type of finish used. Oil-based finishes require more drying time than water-based finishes.

Can I stay in my home during the restoration process?

Yes, but it depends on the size of the project and the type of finish used. Some finishes may produce strong odors, so proper ventilation is essential. In larger projects, you may need to avoid certain areas temporarily.

How often should hardwood floors be refinished?

On average, hardwood floors should be refinished every 7-10 years, but high-traffic areas may need it sooner. Regular maintenance, like cleaning and using protective pads under furniture, can extend the time between refinishing.

What is the difference between refinishing and resurfacing hardwood floors?

Refinishing involves sanding down the surface and applying a new stain and protective coat. Resurfacing is a more extensive process that may include replacing damaged boards, reinforcing weak spots, and repairing deeper structural issues.

Is hardwood floor restoration messy?

We use dustless sanding technology to minimize mess. While some dust may still be present, we take precautions to keep your space as clean as possible during the process.

How long do I have to wait before walking on my restored floors?

You can typically walk on the floors 24 hours after the final coat is applied. However, furniture should not be placed back for 48-72 hours, and area rugs should be avoided for about a week to allow the finish to fully cure.

Will refinishing change the color of my hardwood floors?

Yes! Refinishing gives you the opportunity to change the stain color of your floors. You can go lighter, darker, or match the existing color based on your preference.
