FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I refinish or replace my hardwood floors?
If the boards are structurally sound and thick enough to sand, refinishing is usually the smarter, cheaper choice. If there’s widespread water damage or the wood is too thin, replacement may be better. We’ll assess and advise honestly during your free quote.
What’s the difference between solid and engineered hardwood?
Solid hardwood is a single piece of wood and can be refinished many times. Engineered hardwood has a real wood top layer over a stable core, making it more resistant to humidity and a great fit for basements and condos.
How much does hardwood floor refinishing cost?
It varies with square footage and condition, but refinishing is almost always less than installing new hardwood. Request a free quote for your exact space.
