The Complete Homeowner’s Guide to Hardwood Floor Refinishing in Raleigh, NC
In This Guide
Step 1: identify what is failing
Determine whether the issue is soil, residue, acrylic buildup, worn polyurethane, exposed wood, deep damage or simply an unwanted color.
Step 2: choose the service
Clean & Buff refreshes healthy finish; coating removal addresses contamination; Screen & Recoat renews protection; full sanding rebuilds the floor from bare wood.
Step 3: consider the home
Furniture, pets, stairs, occupied spaces, ventilation and return-to-use timing should be part of project planning.
Step 4: compare complete scopes
Ask what preparation, repairs, stain, sealer, finish and number of coats are included rather than comparing price alone.
Step 5: protect the result
Use manufacturer-appropriate cleaners, avoid film-forming polish unless specifically approved, use felt pads and address wear before finish is completely gone.
