Rather than going to the expense and trouble of replacing your existing hardwood flooring, it is very often possible to refresh or update the appearance of your floors by refinishing them. Existing hardwood floors can be refinished to match a new aesthetic as part of renovation projects simply by changing the color and shade of the stain used. Floors with light wear and scratching can often be renewed without having to sand through the finish or stain by simply abrading the top coat of finish so a new coat of finish will adhere. Hardwood Floors with deeper scratches and gouges will most likely need to be sanded through the stain down to the bare wood and completely refinished.

We recommend that hardwood floors are buffed and recoated every 2 to 3 years in high-traffic areas and every 3 to 5 years in lower-traffic areas, and we also recommend having your entire floor done at the same time.
