Hardwood Floor Refinishing in Apex, NC
Not every tired-looking hardwood floor needs to be torn out. Scratches, dullness, and worn-through finish are usually signs that the floor needs refinishing, not replacement, and refinishing is often the faster, less disruptive fix. If the wood underneath is still in good shape, sanding it down and applying a fresh finish can make a floor look close to new again.
Our refinishing process starts with an assessment of the existing floor to confirm it’s a good candidate. From there, we sand down to bare wood, address any surface damage we find along the way, and apply stain if you’re looking to change or refresh the color. We finish with a protective topcoat that’s built to hold up under daily use. If you’re not sure whether your floors need refinishing or replacing, that’s exactly the kind of question we help answer during an estimate.
Our Hardwood Flooring Process
Every flooring project has different requirements. Our process is designed to understand those requirements before work begins and keep your project on track from the initial assessment through completion.
Consultation and Assessment
We start by discussing your goals and evaluating the space. For installation projects, we determine flooring and preparation requirements. For refinishing, we assess the condition of the existing hardwood and recommend the appropriate approach.
Flooring Selection and Project Planning
For new hardwood installations, we help you compare wood species, construction, width, color, and finish to find the right option for your home.
Preparation
Depending on the project, preparation may include removing existing flooring, preparing the subfloor, sanding existing hardwood, or completing necessary repairs. New flooring is then professionally installed, while refinishing projects move through sanding, staining when selected, and application of the protective finish.
Final Walkthrough
Once the project is complete, we review the finished flooring with you and address any final details.
