Hardwood flooring is a beatiful and natural product that, no matter how damaged, can generally be refinished to look like new and add value to your home. Whether you have had wood floors for a long time or just discovered them under old carpet, refinishing them is the most effective change you could make in your home. Refinishing hardwood floors is usually the only way to regain the original richness and beauty of the wood and a great way to increase the value of your living space or simply have a new look.
Common Hardwood Floor Damages:
- dull and worn finish from years of use
- scuff marks and scratched finish from furniture
- water and pet stains from spills and pets
- deep gouges and grain noise from heavy traffic
- build up from improper maintenance products like wax or wood polish
