Since then, I’ve honed my skills and worked on numerous projects throughout the Chicago area with other companies like Redesign Floors, U.S. Home Construction, Robert Jahn Construction, and DaVinci Painting.

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.
