Our Refinishing Process
Inspection and Preparation
We start by inspecting your floors. We look for squeaks, creaks and loose boards that need attention. This step helps us understand the condition of the floor and identify areas that need to be repaired before we sand. A solid foundation is key to a smooth and lasting finish.
Next we remove the shoe base molding, the quarter round trim that sits where the floor meets the wall. We label each piece and set it aside so everything goes back to where it was.
Before we start sanding, we seal off the air vents and doorways with plastic sheeting. This step is important to contain the dust and keep your home as clean as possible during the process. Everything is prepped and repaired, now we can move on to the refinishing.
Sanding, Staining and Finishing
Our sanding process gets the job done right. First, we use coarse sandpaper with a drum sander to strip off the old finish, scratches, and stains. Then, we switch to finer sandpaper for a smoother result. A sanding edger helps us reach every edge and corner.
For that smooth-as-glass finish, we bring in a floor buffer with a fine screening pad. Before staining, we make sure the floor is dust-free. We apply the stain in small sections, following the wood grain, and wipe off extra stain to get the perfect color.
Once the stain is dry, we seal the floor with a protective finish. You can pick from water-based or oil-based polyurethane, depending on your preference.
Choosing the Right Finish for Your Hardwood Floors
Sheen Options
The sheen of your floor finish doesn’t just change how they look – it changes how they feel, how much care they need and how well they hide daily wear. So choosing the right sheen is a big part of refinishing.
For a bold statement look a gloss finish is perfect. Its high shine is dramatic and ideal for formal rooms like dining rooms or living areas where you want to make an impact. It reflects light beautifully but requires more maintenance to keep it looking its best as smudges and scratches are more visible. If you like some shine but want a softer look semi-gloss is a great middle ground. It adds elegance and sophistication without being too flashy, gives your floors a polished and balanced feel.
The most popular is satin, loved for its versatility and practicality. It gives a subtle warm glow that highlights the wood grain and masks small scratches, dents or dust. It’s good for most rooms in the house as it’s easy to maintain and suits most design styles. If you want a more understated natural look matte finishes are the way to go. A matte sheen gives a modern, cosy feel and is perfect for high traffic areas or homes with kids and pets as it hides smudges and imperfections better than shinier finishes.
It’s all about finding the balance between beauty and function. Whether you want a formal polished look or a relaxed natural feel the right finish can work well with your style. With the right finish your floors will look great and withstand daily wear and tear.
