Sanding and Refinishing
Sanding a hardwood floor typically removes the existing finish and a thin layer of wood before a new finish is applied. A local contractor can discuss whether this may be an option for your floor.
Screening and Recoating
Screening and recoating lightly abrades the existing finish and adds a new top coat. Suitability depends on the current finish and floor condition.
Surface Wear
Traffic patterns, pet activity, and daily use may cause visible wear. Options can be discussed with a provider based on how the floor looks and functions.
Scratches and Discoloration
Scratches and stains may be surface-level or deeper. A contractor can review the flooring and discuss which repair or refinishing approaches may be possible.
Finish Selection
Oil, water-based, and other finishes vary in appearance, feel, and drying times. Discuss preferences and product options with the contractor.
Preparing Rooms and Furniture
You may need to remove furniture, protect nearby areas, and plan around drying times. A local provider can share what to expect.
Questions to Ask Before Refinishing
Consider asking about the process, materials, expected results, cleanup, and any warranties offered directly by the contractor.
Situations Where Refinishing Options May Vary
Engineered floors, previously refinished floors, and floors with significant damage may have more limited options. A local provider can review specifics.
