Hardwood floors never go out of style. They bring warmth, elegance, and long-lasting value to your home. But over time, foot traffic, furniture movement, and moisture can leave scratches, dull patches, and worn areas. That’s where hardwood floor refinishing comes in — a professional, cost-effective way to make your floors look brand new again.
What Is Hardwood Floor Refinishing?
Hardwood floor refinishing is the process of removing the old finish from your wood floors, sanding down the surface, and applying a new protective coating. It removes years of wear and damage without the need to replace your floors entirely.
At F&M Construction and Remodeling, we provide expert refinishing services across the Greater Seattle area — from Kirkland to Auburn, Redmond, and Bellevue — helping homeowners restore the natural beauty of their hardwood floors.
Our Refinishing Process
We follow a detailed, step-by-step approach to ensure the best results:
- Inspection and Preparation – We inspect your floors for damage, gaps, or loose boards, and prepare the surface for sanding.
- Sanding – Using professional-grade sanders, we remove the old finish, stains, and scratches to reveal clean, bare wood.
- Staining (Optional) – Want to update your floor color? We can apply a custom stain that complements your home’s interior.
- Sealing and Finishing – We apply multiple coats of durable finish (oil-based or water-based polyurethane) for long-term protection and shine.
- Drying and Curing – Once sealed, the floor is left to dry and cure before furniture is moved back in.
Why Choose Refinishing Over Replacement?
Replacing hardwood floors can be expensive. Refinishing, on the other hand, restores your floors for a fraction of the cost — often 70% less than a full replacement. It’s also more environmentally friendly since you’re preserving the original wood.
Signs It’s Time to Refinish Your Hardwood Floors
- Scratches, dents, or discoloration
- Fading or dull appearance
- Water stains or minor warping
- Bare wood showing through the finish
- You’re ready for a new color or sheen
If you notice any of these signs, refinishing can make your floors look like new again.
