DIY videos make floor sanding look easy—but it’s not. Sanding hardwood requires pro-grade equipment, multiple sanding stages, and flawless finish work. One skipped step can ruin the result.
Laminate or engineered flooring is much simpler to install, and a great option if you’re on a budget. Need help deciding? Give us a call—we’re happy to guide you – (224) 306-9753
The refinishing process usually spans 1-2 and 3 to 5 days, encompassing sanding, staining (if desired), and applying protective finishes. After the final coat:
Walking: Light foot traffic is generally permitted after 3-24 hours.
Furniture: It’s advisable to wait 48 hours before moving furniture back.
Rugs: Wait at least 7 days before placing rugs to ensure the finish cures properly.
Drying times can vary based on the type of finish used (water-based vs. oil-based) and environmental conditions.
Traditional sanding can produce significant dust. However, professional companies offer dustless sanding options, utilizing advanced equipment to capture up to 99% of airborne dust, resulting in a cleaner and healthier environment during and after the process.
