Common Questions

Quick answers to practical questions about wood floor service.

How do I determine if my hardwood floor needs repair or replacement?

Assess the extent of damage; minor scratches or stains can often be repaired, while extensive warping or deep structural issues may require replacement.

What materials are compatible with refinishing my existing hardwood floor?

Most hardwoods can be refinished with durable finishes like polyurethane, but some exotic or soft woods may need special treatments or primers.

How does the condition of my subfloor affect the repair or refinishing process?

A stable, level subfloor is essential; uneven or damaged subfloors can cause issues like squeaking or uneven surfaces, requiring repair before refinishing.

What preparation is needed before starting a wood floor service?

Clear the area of furniture, ensure proper ventilation, and address any existing surface issues to facilitate effective sanding and finishing.

How do I know if my hardwood flooring is suitable for refinishing?

Floors with at least 3/16 inch of existing finish or wear layer can typically be refinished; heavily worn or damaged floors may need partial or complete replacement.
