Homeowners love hardwood flooring because of its stunning appearance, as well as its durability. Even though wood flooring is tough, normal daily activities can cause wear and tear. Shoes, scraping furniture, and pets’ nails can create scratches, dents, and gouges, and spills and exposure to sunlight can cause discoloration. The team at Barbati Hardwood Flooring can renew hardwood floors in your Pennsylvania home and make them look as pristine as they did on the day when they were installed.
What’s Involved in the Hardwood Floor Refinishing Process?
When wood floors are refinished, the damaged top layer is sanded off to reveal a fresh layer of unblemished wood. The amount of wood that has to be removed depends on the extent of the damage. If a floor has deep gouges, contractors will have to remove more than they would when refinishing a floor with minor scratches.
Sometimes individual boards or sections are so damaged that they can’t be fixed with sanding. In that case, they’re replaced with new boards that closely match the old ones.
After the top layer of wood is removed and any seriously damaged boards are replaced, the new floor is sanded smooth and stained. If you decide to have your hardwood floors refinished, you can keep the original color or switch to a different stain that can completely transform the room’s appearance.
Why Should You Have Barbati Refinish Your Hardwood Floors?
Refinishing hardwood floors is a job that requires the right equipment, in-depth training, and hands-on experience. Even though you can rent a sander and find instructional videos on the internet, it’s not a good idea to try to refinish your floors yourself. Homeowners who go the DIY route often make mistakes that cause even more damage, then have to hire contractors to fix it.
