Philadelphia hardwood floor refinishers work with residential and commercial clients to repair scratches, gouges, faded finishes, deep gouges, water damage, dated beveled edges, gaps between boards that trap food and grime, uneven buckling and cupping, splinters, and more. The process of refinishing is much less expensive than replacing floors, and it can give existing wood flooring a completely new look and feel.
How long do refinished hardwood floors last?
Refinishing is done by sanding the surface layer of wood to remove old, worn and damaged layers. The contractor may then add stain or a clear coat to protect the refinished surface. Refinishing can be done on all types of wood flooring, including solid and engineered hardwoods. It can be performed in homes or businesses, and most contractors use a dust containment system to minimize the amount of dust created during the process.
The refinishing process typically takes three to five days. The contractor will remove all furniture and rugs from the room, sand the entire surface of the floors to create a smooth and even finish, then apply new stain and a clear coat to protect the hardwood. Some companies also offer buff and recoat, which is a quicker and less costly alternative to sanding.
