Refinish or replace?
If the boards are solid, flat, and thick enough to sand, refinishing is usually the better first option. If the floor has major water damage, deep staining, structural issues, or too little wood left to sand, replacement may make more sense.
Jared can inspect the floor and explain the best path before you commit to the work.
Refinishing process
1. Inspect the floor
The floor is checked for damage, thickness, loose boards, stains, and repair needs.
2. Sand the old finish
The old coating is removed and the wood is smoothed.
3. Make repairs as needed
Damaged or problem areas are addressed before the final finish.
4. Choose stain and finish
You can keep the natural wood tone, change the color, or choose a finish that fits the home.
5. Apply the finish
The floor is sealed and protected, then given time to dry and cure properly.

Is refinishing cheaper than replacing?
Usually, yes, if the wood is still in good condition. Jared can tell you when refinishing is enough and when replacement is the better long-term choice.
Can all scratches be removed?
Many surface scratches can be removed during sanding. Deep gouges, dark stains, and damaged boards may need repair or replacement.
How long does refinishing take?
Most projects take a few days, depending on square footage, repairs, stain choice, finish type, and drying time.
