Hardwood Floor Refinishing Process
Refinishing hardwood floors is a multi-step process that starts with sanding. Sanding wood floors is a process that generally produces a lot of dust, but Wilson Hardwood Floor Specialist uses commercial-grade dustless sanders to limit the amount dust released in the air during the process. To further protect our customers’ home, we also cover furniture, electrical outlets, ceiling fans, etc…with plastic sheeting which is taped in place.
Once the sanding portion of the hardwood floor refinishing process is completed, our flooring professionals vacuum the wood floors thoroughly to remove all dust particles. This is a necessary step before the first coat of wood stain is applied. The goal is for the surface being stained to be as smooth as possible. Multiple coats of stains are eventually applied to achieve the desired color.
Wilson Hardwood Floor Specialist has several stain colors you can choose from. We can also match the color of your newly refinished wood floors with other wood floors in your home or with your wood stairs and railing for example. We can also apply the wood stain you provide, but recommend for it to be of the highest quality as it will affect the finished look of your wood floors.
