Refinishing floors is a 3 \u2013 5 day process depending on the extent of floors to be refinished and may require that no access to this area happens during the refinishing process so as to ensure optimal end results and prevent any damage to the finish.<\/p>

The process is simple and needs to be performed by qualified hardwood floor refinishers who have extensive experience with the process. The following are the steps to refinish:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

1.\u00a0Prep work \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0The homeowner is required to remove and move out all furniture. It is also recommended that they cover up all vents, ducts, cabinets etc to minimize cleanup from dust that will be spewn all over.<\/p>

2.\u00a0Sanding \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0This step is a multi-step process where the refinisher will remove all quarter round\/shoe mold and start sanding the wood to the bare wood state. This sanding involves multiple sanders and sanding paper to go from a rough sand to a relatively smooth finish.<\/p>

3.\u00a0Staining \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0This step involves the staining of the bare hardwoods. The refinisher will confirm the color by providing multiple color choices to the homeowner (when trying to match) or the actual color choice made. Once the stain is confirmed, the refinisher will stain the floor and let it dry.<\/p>

4. Polyurethane coat 1 \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0This is the first step of applying polyurethane and after application will require one day to dry.

5.\u00a0Polyurethane coat 2 & 3 \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Depending on the price, you will definitely have a 2nd coat but may not have a 3rd coat. Negotiate with the refinisher as 3 coats is always better. Between coats, the refinisher will lightly sand and then apply the polyurethane coat.<\/p>

Let your hardwoods dry thoroughly before any foot traffic on the floor. It is recommended to stay away minimally from 1 \u2013 3 days to help the stain and polyurethane cure.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
