FAQs
Hardwood floor refinishing is the process of sanding down your existing floors to bare wood, removing the old finish, scratches, and surface damage, then applying fresh stain (if desired) and a new protective topcoat. When done correctly by experienced craftsmen, it can make floors that are decades old look brand new again.
Reasons vary, but some up more often than others. Floors that have gone dull, scratched, or discolored over time are the most common candidates. Many homeowners refinish after purchasing a home, especially if they want to move away from older red or orange-toned finishes toward something more contemporary. Others refinish before listing a home to maximize resale value. Denver’s dry climate also plays a role; floors that weren’t properly finished or maintained can show wear faster here than in more humid climates, making refinishing a smart investment.
In many cases, yes — though the extent of the damage determines the approach. Surface-level staining and light pet scratches can often be addressed through a full sand and refinish. Deeper water damage that has affected the wood structure or pet stains that have penetrated through to the subfloor, may require board replacement before refinishing can begin. We assess every floor individually so we can give you an honest answer before we start working.
A screen and recoat involves lightly buffing the surface of your existing finish and applying a fresh coat on top. It doesn’t remove the old finish or address deep scratches; it simply restores sheen and adds a layer of protection. It’s more affordable, faster and less disruptive than a full refinish. A full refinish involves sanding all the way down to bare wood to remove deeper scratches, change the stain color and start completely fresh. If your floors have lost their sheen but are otherwise in good shape, a screen and recoat may be all you need. If they’re scratched, stained, or you want a new look, a full refinish makes more sense.
Yes, our team uses dust containment systems during the sanding process to minimize airborne particles and keep your home as clean as possible. While no sanding process is completely dust-free, our equipment and methods significantly reduce the mess compared to traditional sanding.
Timeline depends on the square footage, the condition of the floors, the number of coats applied and the finish type. Most residential refinishing projects take a few days to a week. Site-finished floors require dry time between coats, which adds to the overall schedule. We give you a clear timeline so you’ll know when your project will be complete.
Yes. We use dust containment systems throughout the sanding process and handle cleanup as part of the job. Our team treats your home with care from start to finish — that’s not just a courtesy, it’s part of how we operate.
That depends on your goal. If you want to restore your floors to their original look, we can match the existing stain and finish as closely as possible. However, sometimes, older floors or floors that have changed color naturally over time — an exact match isn’t achievable, but a professional result will still look cohesive and intentional. If you’re open to a change, refinishing is also a great opportunity to update the color or sheen level entirely. We walk through all of this with you before work begins so there are no surprises.
Yes. A full refinish is a chance to apply a custom stain before the topcoat goes down. We mix stain formulas in-house and document the exact formula used. If you ever need touch-up work done down the road, we have a record of precisely what was used. Color changes are one of the most popular reasons homeowners choose to refinish, particularly those moving away from red or orange-toned floors toward warmer naturals or cooler grays.
Refinishing cost depends on several factors: square footage, current floor condition, number of coats, finish type, and whether any board replacement or custom staining is involved. Because every floor and every home is different, we don’t work from a flat rate. The best way to get an accurate number is to schedule a consultation — we’ll assess your floors, walk you through your options and give you a clear picture of the investment before any commitment is made.
