Most hardwood floors can be successfully refinished 3-5 times during their lifetime, making floor refinishing much more cost-effective than replacement. If you can see wood grain through surface scratches and the boards are structurally sound, refinishing will restore their beauty completely.
Signs your floors are good candidates include surface scratches, dullness, minor staining, or worn finish that doesn’t penetrate into the actual wood. Even floors that look severely damaged often just need professional attention to reveal beautiful wood underneath years of wear and neglect.
Replacement becomes necessary when boards are warped, rotted, or damaged beyond the thickness available for sanding. During our free assessment, we’ll test a small area to show you exactly what’s possible and provide honest recommendations based on your floors’ actual condition, not what generates the highest sale.
