Hardwood floor refinishing is a meticulous process that involves sanding down the existing wood surface to remove imperfections and applying a new finish to restore its original luster. This cost-effective technique can breathe new life into worn hardwood floors, extending their lifespan and revitalizing the overall aesthetic of a space.

The Process:

Day One and Day Two (depending on total square foot of floors being processed):

We will arrive at between 7:30 and 8:30 am.

Process for stain; three coats of water based finished.

Before we begin to do anything, we first give the floor a thorough inspection. We look for any areas that need to be repaired or replaced, water damage, dents or deep scratches that need extra repair. If there is any additional repair work that is needed, we do our very best to discover this before work begins.

The depth of the scratch depends on whether we can sand it out or not, if every deep character mark and scratch was sanded all the way out, your floor could look brand new and very clean, but the strength of your hardwood would be compromised and the remaining life of your floor would be diminished. In light of this, there are times when some marks will remain as part of the character of your floor.

Inspect for loose boards that need to be affixed or replaced. Fix loose boards Set nails that need to be set.

Mask off with plastic areas of the residence that are not being sanded.

• Belt sand with 100 grit.

• Scrape and hand sand corners and tight areas that can’t be reached with machines.

Day Three:

Apply first coat of finish.

After finish has dried approx. 2 hours second coat of finish is applied.
