When do I know when to refinish my hardwood floors?

If you have excessive wear, water damage, or hardwood flooring that is decades old, you can easily know that it?s time to refinish?them for a better appearance and lifespan. But what if the signs aren?t so evident?

The truth is, you might need this service already. We?ll help you figure out whether you do with a few pieces of information, so read along with us. We work with all wood types, including Hickory, Oak, and Cherry.

Hardwood floors need to be refinished

Over time, wear becomes more and more evident on the surface of your wood flooring. The refinishing process works to remove that wear and bring your floors back to a like-new finish.

As we've already mentioned, excessive wear signs are a good indicator that you need this service. The wear can consist of excessive scuffs and scratches, dents, water spots or water damage, and other surface imperfections that are easy to see.

Other indications might include flooring that has turned gray or black, which shows excessive wear, as well as fading if the flooring is often bathed in direct sunlight. Either of these requires a fresh start to help your flooring reach its intended lifespan.

However, not every situation is the same, and your floors might benefit from refinishing without signs of excess. We?ll be happy to come out and examine your floors, so be sure to reach out if you?re unsure.
