Important Information

In Lynnwood, WA recognizing the finite 'wear layer' of hardwood floors is essential for their long-term maintenance. Generally, a hardwood floor can endure about 3 to 6 sanding cycles before it becomes too thin and requires replacement. In Lynnwood, WA our process begins with a thorough evaluation to determine if your floors are apt for sanding and refinishing. This crucial step helps prevent excessive sanding and premature deterioration, ensuring the longevity and beauty of your floors.

Step 1

Prepare the rooms, repairs and set-up

In Lynnwood, WA, before we begin the sanding process, we take care of any agreed-upon repairs, removing staples and nails and ensuring our equipment is in proper working order. We also set up our advanced dustless equipment, giving you the option to choose the level of dust control that suits your needs. For more information on dust control options, you can read about it here.
We then meticulously sweep the rooms, thoroughly vacuuming them to create a clean and prepared surface. Finally, we set up our sanding machines, ready to deliver top-notch hardwood floor refinishing services.

Step 2

Sanding off the existing old finish

Next step in our hardwood floor refinishing process is the removal of the old, worn-out, and damaged finish. We employ various sanding machines with different grits of paper to effectively strip your flooring down to the bare wood.
The selection of grits depends on the type of finish you have and the level of difficulty in removing it. Our workhorse, the big belt sander, efficiently tackles the main areas, while smaller sanders are employed to reach those intricate, hard-to-access sections.

Step 3

Detailed fine sanding and filler

After removing the old finish, some scratches may be left on your floor due to the use of rough grit sandpaper. To address this, our next step involves using a series of finer sandpaper grits gradually to smooth out the surface and prepare it for the new finish. This process helps eliminate any remaining scratches and ensures a flawless result.
As part of this refinement process, we may also utilize trowel filling techniques to fill in any gaps or imperfections on your floor. By trowel filling with putty, we can achieve a more uniform and seamless appearance. To determine if your floor is a candidate for trowel filling, you can click here for more information.

Step 4

Finishing touches and clean up

After completing sanding with the machines, our refinishing process includes the final touches done by hand. We utilize hand scrapers to access hard-to-reach areas under radiators, along the trim, and in corners that the sanders cannot reach. These areas are then meticulously hand-sanded to match the final grit used by the sanders.
Once the hand scraping and sanding are complete, thorough vacuuming and clean-up are essential to prepare for the next step. We take great care in ensuring that all dust and debris are efficiently removed, leaving a clean and pristine surface for the subsequent stages of the hardwood floor refinishing process.

Important Details about the Refinishing Process

It is important to note that with each sanding 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 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 Lynnwood, 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.
