How do I know if my hardwood floors need refinishing or replacement?

If your floors have deep scratches, discoloration, or water damage but the wood is still structurally sound, refinishing is usually the best option. Replacement is typically only necessary when the boards are severely warped, cracked, or have been refinished multiple times already.

What’s the difference between solid hardwood and engineered hardwood?

Solid hardwood is made from a single piece of wood and can be refinished multiple times, making it a long-lasting option. Engineered hardwood is constructed with a real wood veneer over a plywood base, offering more stability in humid environments and typically easier installation.

How long does it take to install or refinish hardwood floors?

Installation time depends on the size of the space and type of flooring but generally takes 2–5 days. Refinishing typically takes 3–4 days, including sanding, staining, and sealing, with additional drying time before furniture can be moved back in.

Jimmie and his team did incredible work on the floors in our new house. They even fixed some minor holes and removed pet stains left from the previous owners. He was excellent to work with and also had the best price compared to other quotes we got in the area!
