Refinishing your hardwood floors can eliminate scratches, dents, and discoloration and leave them looking as good as new. Refinishing wood flooring is a complex process that requires specialized equipment and know-how. It’s important to hire experienced wood floor refinishing contractors who will do the job right.
What Hardwood Floor Refinishing Entails
Contactors use sanders to remove the top layer of damaged wood and reveal a fresh layer of unblemished wood underneath. That might sound like a straightforward job, but it’s actually one that requires a high level of skill and training. A sander can be difficult for an inexperienced person to operate, and one small mistake can leave a gouge that can be difficult to repair.
Sometimes wood floors have one or more boards that are split, warped, or otherwise damaged and can’t be repaired with sanding. In that case, the boards must be replaced. It’s essential to install new boards that closely match the originals so the repair won’t be obvious once the refinishing process is complete.
After the floor has been repaired, it has to be stained and sealed. Stain and sealer must be carefully applied in smooth, even coats, and it’s often necessary to apply two or more coats. The room must be well ventilated, and each coat of stain or sealer must be allowed to dry thoroughly before the next one is applied.
