Benefits of Refinishing Your Hardwood Floors

Restore Beauty & Shine

Over time, hardwood floors can become dull due to accumulated dust, dirt, and scratches. Sanding hardwood floors removes imperfections, while refinishing revives the wood grain and enhances its natural color.

Extend the Life of Your Flooring

Refinishing your hardwood flooring protects it from further wear and tear. Applying a polyurethane sealant or oil-based floor finish strengthens the wood surface, preventing future damage.

Cost-Effective Alternative to Replacement

Replacing hardwood floors is expensive, but refinishing them is a budget-friendly solution that delivers a like-new look without the high costs of a full floor installation.

Increases Home Value

Refinished wood flooring enhances the aesthetic appeal of your home, making it more attractive to potential buyers. Whether you're preparing to sell your home or want a fresh, polished look, refinishing wood floors adds value to your property.

Removes Stains & Damage

Hardwood floors can develop stains from spills, paint, tile adhesives, and plumbing leaks. Sanding hardwood floors eliminates discoloration, while refinishing provides a protective layer against future stains.

Our Hardwood Floor Sanding & Refinishing Process

At J&M Hardwood Floors, we use advanced woodworking tools, including belt sanders, drum sanders, edgers, and putty knives, to ensure precision and a dust-free sanding process.

Step 1: Floor Preparation & Cleaning

  • We vacuum and clean the floor to remove debris, dust, and sawdust.
  • Ventilation is set up to ensure a safe work environment, and we use respirators and dust masks to minimize exposure to airborne particles

Step 2: Sanding the Hardwood Floors

  • We start with a coarse sandpaper to remove the old floor finish, stains, and deep scratches
  • A belt sander or drum sander is used for even sanding across large surfaces.
  • Edges and corners are carefully sanded with a handheld edger for a uniform finish.

Step 3: Repairing & Filling Gaps

  • Any cracks, gaps, or nail holes are filled with wood putty or plastic putty to create a smooth surface.
  • Putty knives and brushes are used to ensure seamless blending.

Step 4: Staining (Optional)

  • If you want a new color for your floors, we apply a wood stain that complements your interior design
  • Common stain choices include oak, walnut, cherry, and maple.

Step 5: Applying the Finish

  • A protective polyurethane sealant or oil-based finish is applied to enhance durability.
  • We offer different finish options:
    Glossy: High-shine and polished look.
    Satin: Soft sheen for a modern feel.
    Matte: Natural appearance with minimal shine.
  • The floor is left to dry for 24-48 hours before foot traffic is allowed.

Step 6: Final Polishing & Cleanup

  • Once the finish is dry, we perform final polishing using a floor buffer for a smooth and even look.
  • We clean up the area, ensuring no dust, debris, or residue is left behind.

Common Signs Your Hardwood Floors Need Refinishing

  • Visible scratches, dents, or gouges
  • Dull, worn-out finish with no shine
  • Water damage or mold growth from plumbing leaks
  • Discoloration or stains from spills and carpet adhesives
  • Uneven surfaces, splintering, or rough patches

If you notice these signs, it may be time to refinish your hardwood floors to restore their strength, beauty, and longevity.

How to Maintain Your Refinished Hardwood Floors

  • Sweep and mop regularly to remove dust and dirt buildup.
  • Use a microfiber mop to prevent scratches.
  • Avoid excessive moisture—clean up spills immediately.
  • Use furniture pads to prevent damage from heavy furniture.
  • Schedule routine maintenance to keep your floors looking pristine.
