What are my options with hardwood refinishing?
- Adding a new top coat. When you have had hardwood flooring for years, it tends to fade a bit in places where the usage has been the heaviest. The top coat normally acts as the protective surface for the floor. When there is heavy foot traffic on your wood floor, the top coat becomes uneven in those places.
Our refinishing experts will buffs out the hardwood floor to flatten out any scratches and scruffs that the floor has received over time. The job is finished up with a final clear protective top coat bringing your floors back to life. - Sanding and finishing. In this process, the hardwood refinishing expert will sand your existing wood flooring to remove the top coat and strip it down to the wood. Then two or more protective finishing top coats are applied to make your floor look new. This method is only recommended for thicker hardwood floors.
