Refinishing Your Hardwood Floor: A Homeowners Guide
Why Refinish Your Hardwood Floor?
At Texas Hardwood Flooring are passionate about bringing life back to your existing floors. Refinishing is not just budget-friendly – it’s a smart investment that gives you that brand-new floor look while preserving the character of your original hardwood. Think of it as giving your floors a rejuvenating Texas-sized makeover!
Can We Refinish Your Floors? Let’s Find Out!
Not sure if your floors qualify? We’re here to help! Just give us a call at 214-399-1770 for a free assessment.
- Solid hardwood floors: Most can be beautifully refinished. If your floor has been refinished several times before, we’ll check if there is enough wood remaining.
- Engineered or prefinished floors: While most can’t be traditionally refinished, don’t lose hope! Some prefinished solid hardwood floors are perfect candidates. We’ll give you honest advice about your options.
How Long Will It Take?
We respect your time and home, so here’s what to expect:
- ⏱️ 3-5 days for the first 1,000 square feet
- ⏱️ About one additional day for every 1,000 square feet beyond that
- ⚠️ Important for Success: Your newly finished floors need 4-5 days to fully cure – no furniture, shoes, or pet traffic during this time. We promise the wait is worth it!
Our Proven Process: How We’ll Transform Your Floors
- Prepare Your Space – We’ll help move furniture and prepare the area for work.
- Protect Your Home – We carefully cover walls, fixtures, and belongings with protective materials.
- Remove Trim: – We gently remove baseboards so our sanders can reach every inch of your floor.
- Sand to Perfection: – Using professional equipment, we’ll remove the old finish and imperfections. Want a rustic Texas look? Ask about our hand-scraping option!
- Lighten Your Wood (Optional): – Got that typical Texas red oak with pink tones or Texas brown? We can bleach it for a more modern, lighter appearance.
- Choose Your Perfect Color—We’ll apply sample stains right on YOUR floor so you can see exactly how they’ll look in your home.
- Get Your Approval – Your satisfaction matters! We won’t proceed until you love what you see.
- Apply Professional Finish: – We use either water-based polyurethane (less odor, faster drying) or traditional oil-based finish for lasting protection.
- Install Fresh Trim – Most projects include new baseboards for that complete, upgraded look.
- Paint baseboards – We can arrange for painters to ensure every detail looks crisp and clean.
- Thorough Cleanup: – We change your A/C filters to remove any lingering dust
