At some point in its lifetime, your solid or engineered hardwood floor may be in desperate need of a facelift. When may solely depend on your lifestyle: kids, dogs, busy households. However, just when maybe a little bit of a guessing game. When is the right time to sand & finish your floors?
Is your floor ready?
If your existing floors are lacking their shine, look scratched or scuffed, or have raw wood peeking through, it may be time to sand & finish your floors. The approximate timeframe for this service could be anywhere from five to 10+ years after your floors were installed. Of course, this is on a case-by-case basis depending on a few important factors: Dogs, kids, and an active home can all lead to needing sand & finish sooner than you may think.
Maintenance to last
Maintenance services such as a deep clean often called a “screen & coat”, can aid in the floor’s overall lifetime. If routine maintenance is adhered to closely, you may never have to refinish your hardwood floors. After a refinish, follow the recommended guidelines for cleaning according to your floor’s new finish type. Cleaning with non-acidic PH balanced wood floor cleaner will help prolong the life of your refinished floors.
