How long does floor finishing take in West Hills NY?

Most floor finishing projects in West Hills take 2-3 days from start to finish, depending on the size of the area and the number of coats needed. Day one involves sanding and stain application, day two is typically the first finish coat, and day three is the final protective coat. The beauty of our dustless system is that you can usually stay in your home during the process. We work in sections and use advanced dust containment, so only the immediate work area is off-limits. You can walk on the floors with socks after 6 hours, with shoes after 24 hours, and furniture can go back after 48 hours. Weather doesn’t significantly impact our timeline since we use water-based finishes that cure consistently indoors. We’ll give you an exact schedule during your estimate so you can plan accordingly.

What's the difference between refinishing and replacing hardwood floors?

Floor refinishing costs about $3-4 per square foot in the West Hills area, while replacement typically runs $8-15 per square foot or more. If your existing hardwood is solid wood (not engineered) and has at least 1/4 inch of wood above the tongue-and-groove, refinishing is almost always the better choice. Refinishing also preserves the character of your existing floors—the wood grain, the way boards fit together, and any unique features that give your home personality. Replacement means starting over with new wood that won’t have the same settled, mature look. The environmental impact matters too. Refinishing keeps perfectly good wood out of landfills and avoids the resource consumption of manufacturing new flooring. Plus, you avoid the disruption of a full flooring replacement, which involves removing baseboards, potentially dealing with subfloor issues, and much more mess.

Can you change the color of my existing hardwood floors?

Absolutely. One of the biggest advantages of professional floor refinishing is the ability to completely change your floor color. Whether you want to go from dark to light, add gray tones that are popular in West Hills homes, or create a custom color that matches your décor, we can make it happen. The key is proper sanding to remove all existing stain and finish down to bare wood. Then we apply your chosen stain color evenly across the entire surface. We have dozens of standard colors and can also create custom blends to match specific design requirements. Keep in mind that some wood species take stain differently than others. Oak accepts stain very evenly, while maple can be more selective. During your consultation, we’ll show you samples on your actual wood type so you know exactly what to expect.

Is dustless floor sanding really dust-free?

While no sanding process is 100% dust-free, our dustless system captures about 95% of the dust at the source. We use specialized sanders connected to powerful vacuum systems that pull dust directly into containment units before it can become airborne. We also seal off work areas with plastic barriers and use air scrubbers to filter any remaining particles. Most of our West Hills clients are amazed at how clean their homes stay during the process. You won’t find dust settled on furniture in other rooms or coating your belongings. The difference is dramatic compared to traditional sanding. Instead of dust covering everything in your house and requiring extensive cleanup afterward, you’ll find minimal dust that’s easily managed with normal cleaning. This is especially important for families with allergies or respiratory sensitivities.

How do I know if my floors need refinishing or just cleaning?

If regular mopping and wood floor cleaners aren’t bringing back the shine, and you can see scratches, worn areas, or dull spots that won’t come clean, it’s time for refinishing. Water marks that won’t disappear, areas where the finish has worn through to bare wood, or floors that look cloudy even after cleaning are all signs you need professional attention. A simple test: drop a small amount of water on your floor. If it beads up, your finish is still protecting the wood. If it soaks in within a few minutes, the protective finish has worn away and needs renewal. In West Hills, we often see floors that just need recoating rather than full refinishing. This involves light sanding and applying fresh finish coats without going down to bare wood. It’s less expensive and faster, but only works if the existing finish is in decent condition. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the most cost-effective approach.

What should I do to prepare for floor finishing?

Remove all furniture, rugs, and personal items from the rooms being refinished. We can help move heavy pieces for an additional fee, but smaller items need to be cleared beforehand. Take down wall hangings and protect items in adjacent rooms if you’re concerned about vibration from our equipment. Plan for limited access to the work areas during the process. While our dustless system means you can stay in your home, you won’t be able to walk on the floors during certain stages. We’ll give you a detailed schedule so you know exactly when each area will be accessible. If you have pets, plan for their comfort during the process. While our low-VOC finishes have minimal odor, some sensitive animals prefer to stay elsewhere during the finishing phase. We’ll discuss timing and logistics during your consultation to make sure everything goes smoothly for your entire household.
