Expert wood floor refinishing plays a pivotal role in any home remodeling project. Not least because the majority of buyers searching for homes on the market look at three major elements; the kitchen, the bathroom and the flooring – which can all be deal-breakers if not up to a high standard.

Why you should consider refinishing old wood floors?
Many older homes actually have beautiful old hardwood flooring hiding beneath those old worn-out carpets or out-of-fashion tiles! Sanding the old wood floors, repairing and refinishing will restore the timber back to new, creating a stunning new timber floor that everyone will admire.
Having older floors, like carpet, cracked tile or linoleum can make the house less appealing to buyers. Instead, by replacing these with new hardwood flooring or by sanding old wood floors, you can bring value to your home, whilst also giving it a warm traditional feel.
Often a new buyer will arrange a new hardwood floor finishing service as soon as they close on the home. This is ideal as the home is empty and thus it makes getting a hardwood floor contractor in to do the work that much easier.
Stages of Wood Floor Refinishing
- Preparation: clear the room of furniture, drapes, pictures and register covers, and remove the doors.
- Sanding wood floors: typically takes three days for a straightforward refinish, during which time the flooring contractors can sand down to the bare wood, conduct any necessary repairs and prepare for finishing.
- Applying the finish: there are several types of finish, but most people go with an oil polyurethane finish. These coats take one day to dry and usually three coats are applied.
Back in the day customers loved high gloss, but today a lot of people are picking semi-gloss. This is not too shiny and not too dull – the perfect balance.
