Wood Flooring Refinish


After a few years of having hardwood floors in one’s home, it may be time for a refinish. Similar to wax on a car, the finish on a wood floor protects the surface from scuffs and marks, repels water and other elements, and enhances the beauty of the exterior.

Because refinishing a wood floor is a multi-step, labor-intensive process and one that requires knowledge of the latest techniques, it is beneficial to hire a professional floor contractor to do the job.

A professional flooring contractor will help you decide which refinishing is best for your floors: oil-based or water-based polyurethane. A professional can tell you which type of finish is appropriate for high-traffic areas and which type of finish does a better job repelling spills. Professional flooring contractors are also well-versed in the time it takes for a finish to dry before another coat is applied and the amount of time for fumes to dissipate. More than that, a professional can ensure that the surface of a refinished floor does not become uneven.

Remember, you will walk on the floors in your home every day. It’s worth getting them done right the first time.
