Hardwood Floor Refinishing Timeline

At Barbati, our pros refinish hardwood flooring by sanding down the old boards to erase any visible signs of wear and tear and reveal the unblemished “new” wood beneath the surface. Our pros then apply a few coats of polyurethane, a protective layer that will prevent further stains and scratches down the line.

This coating can take up to 48 hours to dry. While dragging heavy furniture across your hardwood floors during these tentative stages can damage your freshly refinished surface, you should be able to walk across your floors within the first 12 hours.

When compared to installing new boards, the refinishing process is a quick and affordable way to reinvigorate your rooms. If you think your floor could benefit from refinishing, repair, or patching, the pros at Barbati can visit your property and assess your boards to advise you on the best solutions to restore you flooring to its former shine.
