Why Refinishing is a Necessity
Refinishing and sanding your hardwood floors are necessary to preserve their quality and beauty. Any refinishing is done solely to enhance the woods natural color and protect it from the elements.
The best time to sand and refinish your hardwood floors is when you move into a new house or apartment as all of the furniture, rugs, etc. need to be removed from the area during the process.
Proper refinishing should last about 10 years. However, high traffic rooms will need to be done more often. But the two types of floors.
The Refinishing Process:
1. A refinish process starts with the sanding of the wood. The depth of the sanding will be determined by the depth of the scratches in the wood. We use only the latest sanding equipment that uses the "Less Dust" process. Of course, we will cover all of your furniture and valuables with dust covers to ensure their safety.
2. Once the wood is cleaned of all scratches and stripped of old polyurethane, the natural color of the wood can be left or you can add color by staining the wood.
3. After choosing your color, the next step is to seal the wood with wood sealer as a primer layer.
4. When the sealer is dry it will be buffed to achieve a smooth surface.
5. The last stage is to coat the floor with polyurethane. Keep in mind that the more coats you apply, the better protection you will have and the longer it will last.
Safety Comes First
Our first priority is to protect the beauty of your home, so whether you have finished or unfinished floors, we section off other areas and furniture to prevent sanding dust from spreading throughout your home.
Our expert technicians also use dust containment systems to limit the amount of dust in the air. While refinishing, it is important to have as little air flow as possible in the area, as airborne particles can become embedded into the newly applied finish. Something as simple as foot traffic or turning on the air conditioner/heating system can kick up dust, so it is better to allow more time to dry to avoid problem areas in your floors.
Our service ensures your floors look fantastic and you are completely satisfied. Contact us today to get a free on-site estimate with one of our expert technicians.
