Hardwood Floor Refinishing FAQs by Monaco Designs
Hardwood floor refinishing is the perfect way to remove imperfections, restore beauty, and give your floors a fresh new look. At Monaco Designs, we specialize in bringing your floors back to life with precision and care. Here are some of the most common questions we hear about hardwood floor refinishing:
How often should hardwood floors be refinished?
On average, hardwood floors should be refinished every 7–10 years, depending on the wear and tear they experience and the type of finish used.
Can I refinish my hardwood floors myself?
While it’s possible to refinish floors yourself, Monaco Designs advises hiring a professional. This ensures safety, quality results, and a flawless finish.
What is the average cost to refinish hardwood floors?
The cost varies depending on the size of your home and the finish you choose. On average, expect to pay between $2 to $4 per square foot for a basic refinishing job. At Monaco Designs, we offer competitive pricing to give you the best value.
How long does it take to refinish hardwood floors?
It typically takes 3–5 days to refinish hardwood floors, depending on the size and condition of your floors. During this time, furniture will need to be moved, and the area must remain clear. We also offer furniture moving services to make the process easier for you.
Can I walk on my hardwood floors after they’ve been refinished?
After refinishing, it’s best to avoid walking on your floors for at least 24 hours to allow the finish to cure properly.
What is the difference between sanding and refinishing hardwood floors?
- Sanding removes the top layer of the wood to reveal a fresh, clean surface.
- Refinishing applies a new finish to protect the wood and enhance its appearance.
At Monaco Designs, we handle both sanding and refinishing with care to ensure your floors look as good as new.
What type of finish should I use for my hardwood floors?
The type of finish depends on your personal preference and the level of foot traffic in your home. Options include:
- Water-based finishes
- Oil-based finishes
- Polyurethane finishes
At Monaco Designs, we provide samples of different finishes during your first appointment to help you choose the best option.
