Signs your floors need refinishing
- Gray or bare spots in walkways and doorways
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Dark water or pet stains in the wood
- A dull look that cleaning no longer fixes
- You want a new stain color
What a full refinish includes
A full refinish removes the old finish by sanding the floor down to bare wood. That takes out most scratches and many stains. Damaged boards can be repaired or replaced so they blend in. Then the floor gets stain if you choose one, followed by new coats of finish to protect it.
Refinish or recoat?
If your finish is dull but the wood is not damaged, a recoat may be enough. A recoat scuffs the top layer and adds a fresh coat without sanding to bare wood. Try this: put a few drops of water on a busy spot. If they bead up, the finish is still working. If they soak in and darken the wood, the floor likely needs a full refinish.
Refinish or replace?
Solid hardwood can be refinished many times. Engineered hardwood can be refinished if its top wood layer is thick enough. If boards are badly damaged or the floor has been sanded too thin, replacing it may make more sense. See refinish or replace hardwood floors.
