What homeowners ask most before refinishing their hardwood floors.
1. Do I need to leave the house during the refinishing process?
If we’re refinishing floors in high-traffic areas or spaces you need to walk on within 24 hours, yes — it's best to plan to be out. We’ll advise based on your layout and schedule.
2. Is refinishing always possible, or do I need new floors?
Most solid hardwood floors can be refinished multiple times. We'll assess the condition of your floor to determine if sanding and refinishing is the best option — or if replacement is needed.
3. How long does the process take?
Most refinishing projects take 2–4 days, depending on square footage, finish type, and dry times. We'll give you a clear schedule before starting.
4. Is the process really dustless?
We use dustless sanding systems that capture the vast majority of airborne dust. While no system is 100% dust-free, ours keeps your home clean and minimizes disruption.
5. Will there be a strong smell or fumes?
Water-based finishes have low odor and are safe for families and pets. If an oil-based product is better for your floor, we’ll walk you through what to expect.
6. Can I change the color of my wood floors?
Yes — we offer custom staining options to match your style and lighting. From natural to dark walnut or modern tones, we test on your actual floor before applying.
7. How much does it cost to refinish hardwood floors?
It depends on size, condition, finish type, and prep work needed. We offer free estimates so you know exactly what to expect — no guesswork.
8. Do you repair damaged boards before refinishing?
Yes — we repair or replace individual planks when needed to ensure a smooth, even final result. We aim for seamless repairs that blend in with your existing floor.
