WHY REFINISH

A smart way to refresh your home without replacing the floor.

Refinishing hardwood floors is a great investment. Time and traffic take their toll on hardwood floors in the form of scratches, scrapes, dents, worn areas, water stains, or buckling.

One of the great things about wood flooring is that it can often be refinished several times over its lifespan. Refinishing can also update the style of your floors with a new color, design, or texture. If you are selling your home, freshly refinished flooring can immediately impact potential buyers.

Restore the character already in your home.

Refinishing can make existing hardwood feel clean, updated, and cared for again.

WHAT TO CONSIDER

Should you refinish or replace?

These are the main questions that help determine whether refinishing is the right direction for your floors.

Z

Aesthetic Goals

If your main goal is to revitalize the floors and restore their luster, refinishing may be a good fit. If you want to change the width, grain, or direction of the planks, replacement may make more sense.

Z

Project Timeline

Refinishing is almost always quicker than replacing. Depending on the area, homeowners can usually stay in the home until finish coats are applied, though moving out is often recommended.

Z

Current Floor Condition

Not every floor can be restored. If the wood is too thin from repeated sanding, has major warping, or has extensive damage, replacing the whole floor may be the better option. During your quote, our estimator will inform you if the floor can be safely re-sanded.

THE REFINISHING PROCESS

Color, finish, and floor condition all matter.

First, you choose the color and finish that you want. Like new hardwood floors, you will want to think about room size, wall color, texture, and other hardwoods in the house. Visit the showroom and take samples home to see how they look under different lights and next to cabinetry and furniture.

When you are ready, Treadline will come to your home and examine the floor’s condition. If mitigation is needed, such as dehumidifying due to water damage, the team will recommend it at that time. Rooms will be measured and a detailed estimate will be provided.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Hardwood refinishing questions homeowners ask.

Should I refinish the floors myself?

While doing this type of project yourself is not impossible, a novice can do more damage than good. Refinishing requires the right equipment, prep, and finishing knowledge.
