Important Information

Step 1

Prepare the rooms, repairs and set-up

Before starting the hardwood floor sanding process, we meticulously handle all agreed-upon repairs, including the removal of staples and nails. We ensure our advanced dustless sanding equipment is in perfect working order to deliver a flawless finish. Our dustless sanding technology offers customizable dust control levels to suit your needs, ensuring a cleaner, more efficient refinishing process. Learn more about our dust control options here.

Step 2

Sanding off the existing old finish

The next step in our hardwood floor refinishing process is the removal of the old, worn-out, and damaged finish. We use a combination of advanced sanding machines and various grits of sandpaper to expertly strip your flooring down to the bare wood. The choice of sandpaper grit is carefully selected based on the type of finish and the difficulty in removing it, ensuring a smooth and even surface ready for refinishing.

Step 3

Detailed fine sanding and filler

After removing the old finish, rough grit sandpaper may leave some scratches on your hardwood floor. To achieve a smooth surface, our next step involves using progressively finer sandpaper grits, which meticulously smooth out the surface in preparation for the new finish. This careful sanding process eliminates remaining scratches, ensuring a flawless result. Additionally, we may employ trowel filling techniques to fill any gaps or imperfections, further enhancing the overall appearance and durability of your floor.

Step 4

Finishing touches and clean up

Our refinishing process includes meticulous final touches done by hand. We use hand scrapers to reach difficult areas under radiators, along trim, and in corners where sanders can't reach. These spots are then carefully hand-sanded to ensure they match the final grit used by the sanding machines. Once hand scraping and sanding are complete, a thorough vacuuming and clean-up process is conducted to prepare the surface for the next step in refinishing.

Important Details about the Refinishing Process

It is important to note that with each wood floor resurfacing in Seattle and refinishing process, a portion of the valuable wood from the top wear layer is removed. Whether you have solid wood floors or engineered floors, both types have a limited lifespan and can only be sanded a certain number of times.

Typically, floors have approximately ¼" of wear layer, and once the initial thickness is reduced to the tongue, the floors will start to weaken. Therefore, our approach to wood floor resurfacing in Seattle is to be extremely cautious and remove only the absolute minimum amount of wood necessary. Our goal is to preserve the structural integrity of your floors while still delivering a stunning finished result.

It's not uncommon for us in Seattle, WA, to encounter quite a few projects each month where homeowners are disheartened by the outcomes delivered by their previous "floor guy." As we touched on earlier, there's only a limited amount of wood that can be safely sanded away. When an inexperienced individual works on your floor, it can unfortunately lead to less-than-ideal results, much like the example you see in the photo on the left below. We're here to ensure that your floors get the expert care they deserve, avoiding such disappointments.

Don’t end up with floors like this...

Please don’t allow this to happen to your floors!

After we fixed it. But... now the floor is very thin.

We are glad that we were able to salvage and restore the floor shown in the photo on the right, as not all floors can be saved. However, it is important to note that in the process of saving the floor, a significant amount of its lifespan was removed.
