Hardwood Refinishing Services with Valley Floors

Hardwood refinishing renews and revives your wood floors. Beautiful hardwood floors can last almost a lifetime with proper care and periodic hardwood refinishing. It may seem a contradiction for a flooring retailer to encourage refinishing rather than replacing, not for Valley Floors in Bradford, VT. Our goal is to provide you with the best solution to your flooring challenges, and if refinishing your floors is the way to go, so be it.

What to expect when refinishing hardwood floors

The first thing that comes to mind is when refinishing a hardwood floor is fine sawdust … everywhere. The refinishing experts at Valley Floors have the equipment and skills that keep dust to a minimum. We use close-to-dust-free sanding equipment and seal doorways to keep residual dust to a minimum. Then we vacuum, vacuum and vacuum some more.

Depending on the level of damage to the floor surface, it may be possible to buff out light scratches and scuff marks, and then re-apply a coat of the floor’s finish. If there are deep scratches, stains, and areas where the finish has worn off, then sanding and refinishing are called for.

Review and decide the kind of stain and finish you want for your flooring before the project  

starts. This way you will have an idea of how long it will be until you can use your room again. The different types of finish all have quite different requirement for drying and curing. And as a bonus, you can change the stain color to change the look of the room if you want.

A few hardwood refinishing tips

• Remove all furniture, furnishings and appliances from the space being refinished 
  
• Remember to have propane or natural gas appliances disconnected, then reconnected by a licensed professional 
  
• Keep children and pets away from the work area until the floors have cured the amount of time recommended by the finish’s manufacturer
