FAQs About Hardwood
Flooring Refinishing
How do I know if I should refinish or replace my hardwood floors?
If your floors have minor scratches, dents, or surface wear, refinishing is usually the best choice. However, if there’s extensive damage — such as deep gouges, water damage, or structural issues — replacing damaged planks or sections of the floor may be necessary.
How often should I refinish my hardwood floors?
On average, hardwood floors should be refinished every 7-10 years, but factors like foot traffic, wear, and personal preference can impact this timing. Our team can assess your floors and recommend the right refinishing schedule based on your specific needs.
Is it possible to refinish heavily worn or damaged hardwood floors?
For floors with deep scratches, gouges, or missing planks, refinishing alone may not be enough to restore them. In these cases, replacing the affected planks — or even the entire floor — might be the best option. We’re happy to evaluate your floors and suggest the right solution.
Should I refinish my hardwood floors if there are problems with the subfloor?
If your subfloor has issues such as unevenness, moisture damage, or structural problems, these should be addressed before refinishing your hardwood. Ignoring subfloor issues can lead to poor refinishing results and even future damage to your floors.
