Is your hardwood floor looking tired and worn? Are there scratches, scuffs, and a dull finish that are hiding the wood's natural beauty? The good news is that if your floor has enough life left, it can be refinished, restoring it to its former glory.
Refinishing is a great way to revitalize a home and protect a valuable investment. At Meyer Floor Covering, we offer professional refinishing services to bring new life to old floors in Lakewood, Tacoma, Puyallup, Gig Harbor, and Steilacoom.
What is Hardwood Floor Refinishing?
Hardwood floor refinishing is a multi-step process that involves:
-
Sanding: The old finish is carefully sanded off, along with any surface scratches and imperfections. This is a critical step that requires skill and the right equipment to ensure a smooth, even surface without damaging the wood.
-
Staining (Optional): If you want to change the color of your floor, a new stain can be applied at this stage. You can go darker, lighter, or opt for a completely different color.
-
Applying a New Finish: The final step is to apply several coats of a new protective finish, such as polyurethane or oil. This will seal and protect the wood, giving it a new luster and durability.
The Benefits of Wood Floor Refinishing
-
Cost-Effective: Refinishing is a much more affordable option than a complete floor replacement. It's a great way to get a "new" floor on a budget.
-
Restores Beauty: Refinishing erases years of wear and tear, bringing out the wood's original beauty. Your floors will look brand new and add significant value to your home.
-
Change of Style: With a new stain, you can completely change the look of your room without having to tear up your existing floor. You can match a new design scheme or simply update a dated color.
-
Extends Longevity: By removing the old, worn finish and applying a new protective layer, you're extending the life of your hardwood floors for decades.
Is Your Floor a Candidate for Refinishing?
Most solid hardwood floors can be refinished multiple times. The number of refinishes depends on the thickness of the wood. Engineered hardwood can also be refinished, but only if the top veneer is thick enough. A professional can assess the condition and thickness of your floor to determine if it's a good candidate for refinishing.
