Floor Refinishing
Floor refinishing is the process of sanding down the top layer of hardwood flooring to remove scratches, stains, or wear, then applying a new stain or finish to restore its original beauty.
If your floors have deep scratches, dull spots, discoloration, or water damage, they may benefit from refinishing. A professional can assess whether sanding and refinishing is the best solution.
Most solid hardwood floors can be refinished multiple times. Engineered wood may also be refinished, depending on the thickness of the top veneer.
The timeline depends on the size of the area and the finish used, but most floor refinishing jobs take 2 to 5 days, including drying time between coats.
Modern refinishing equipment includes dust containment systems to minimize mess, and low-VOC finishes help reduce odor. Some smell and cleanup is normal, but professionals work to keep it manageable.
