Renovating your home or revamping the look of a room often involves your floors. If you have hardwood floors that have seen better days – or if you want to dive headfirst into the latest trends – sanding and refinishing hardwood floors can be the answer. As Connecticut’s Hardwood Flooring Specialist, MJP Flooring is here to tell you five things to know about sanding and refinishing hardwood floors in Connecticut.
1. Assess the Condition of Your Hardwood Floors
Before diving into sanding and refinishing, it’s crucial to assess the current condition of your hardwood floors. Scratches, pet stains, minor dents, and dullness are common issues that can be addressed through refinishing. But – deep gouges, warping, or extensive water damage may require more extensive repairs or even replacement. A skilled flooring professional will assess the condition upfront and help you determine the best course of action – without upselling you on a “rip and replace” if it’s not needed.
2. Expertise in Sanding and Refinishing Hardwood Floors
Professionals bring a wealth of expertise to the whole process. They get the nuances of different wood species, grain patterns, and floor conditions. And professionals use a variety of sandpaper grits and advanced sanding equipment to achieve a smooth, even surface. No bubbles.
3. Dust Containment Systems
One of the main concerns with floor sanding is the generation of dust. Reputable flooring professionals use advanced dust containment systems to minimize the impact of sanding on your home. These systems capture most of the dust at its source, ensuring a cleaner and healthier environment during and after the refinishing process. (We do our best, but you’re still going to find dust afterwards. Sorry!)
4. Customized Stain and Finish Options
Picking a color and finish can be the hardest part for homeowners. Professionals can provide samples, discuss your preferences, and guide you in choosing the right finish for your lifestyle. (Got pets? High gloss may not be the best choice.) Whether you prefer a natural, trendy matte, or glossy finish, professionals have the knowledge to bring your vision to life.
5. Timely and Efficient Process
Experienced flooring professionals will complete the installation process in a timely manner, minimizing disruptions to your daily life. (Depending on the size of the area, you may need to leave your home while the finish cures.) They’re equipped with the skills and tools to deliver a beautiful and durable finish within the agreed-upon timeframe.
