Hardwood Flooring FAQs

We install luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring, which offers a durable, easy-to-maintain surface for busy areas. Quality LVP can closely resemble natural wood, but performance varies by product. Many LVP products are waterproof or highly moisture resistant; we verify the manufacturer’s rating and choose an appropriate product for kitchens, entryways, bathrooms, active households, and homes with pets.

A typical hardwood floor refinishing project takes our team about 3 to 5 days to complete, depending on the size of the job and the type of finish you choose. If we use a traditional Swedish oil-based finish, you will need to stay off the floors entirely during the process due to the strong drying fumes. If you choose our fast-drying, low-VOC water-based finishes, you can usually walk on the floors with clean socks just a few hours after we apply the final coat.

This way, you get floors that match your style and needs without the stress of having to figure it out on your own.

To get your home ready for hardwood floor sanding, start by clearing out all furniture, rugs, and personal items from the work area. Remove anything from the walls like pictures or decor to prevent dust from settling on them. Make sure any fragile items in nearby rooms are protected, as sanding can create fine dust that travels. If possible, create a clear path for the crew to get their equipment in and out easily. It’s also a good idea to cover vents and doorways with plastic sheets or painter’s tape to stop dust from spreading, and arrange for pets and kids to stay out of the work zone for safety. Taking these steps helps the sanding process go faster, keeps your belongings safe, and lets the team focus on making your floors look their best.
