If your floors have surface scratches, dullness, or minor wear patterns, refinishing will make them look brand new. You can usually refinish hardwood floors 3-4 times over their lifetime, so most East Northport homes are good candidates.
Signs you need refinishing include scratches that catch your socks, areas where the finish has worn through to bare wood, or overall dullness that cleaning can’t fix. Water stains, pet marks, and color changes from sun exposure also indicate it’s time for professional attention.
Replacement becomes necessary when boards are severely warped, rotted, or damaged beyond repair. If more than 30% of your floor needs individual board replacement, installing new flooring might be more cost-effective.
During our consultation, we’ll assess your floors honestly and explain all your options. Sometimes a combination approach works best—refinishing most areas while replacing only the worst sections. This saves money while ensuring your entire floor looks uniform.
