You need to understand that good quality laminate is quite expensive. Granted, there is a low-quality laminate that is significantly cheaper but you will have to compromise the performance and looks. Refinishing hardwood floors is cheaper when you want to maintain good quality and performance.
Refinishing hardwood floors takes a day or two depending on various factors, including the method used and size of the floors. Typically, however, it should simply take less than 12 hours.
Taking off the old topcoat and applying two new topcoats will help your wood floor appear new. The good news is that we use putty repair to ensure your floor looks neat before applying the topcoat. A new topcoat should last more than 5 years if applied correctly.
You need to ensure the refinished wood floor is completely dry before putting down the rugs. We recommend that you wait for about 7 days before putting down the rugs to ensure your floor will be long-lasting.
Dull wood floors can be brightened by removing the dirt first and then applying a fresh wax coat. This process should brighten the wood floor and restore the shine.
Refinishing and cleaning hardwood floors can sound like a simple task but it involves rather complicated steps and use of specialized equipment. You must, therefore, hire a professional cleaning service provider to help you through the steps. Below is a step by step guide to the entire process.
We start by moving the furniture out before you can proceed to vacuum the entire floor thoroughly. A specialized machine is used for the cleaning process. It works by gently scrubbing the hardwood floors using a soft rotating brush while discharging a mild cleaning solution. This cleaning machine ensures the hardwood floor doesn't absorb the moisture by extracting the mild cleaning solution right-back up during the process. Soft cotton is then used to buff the hardwood floors thus ensuring it is residue-free and quite smooth.
Sanding can be rather labor-intensive and it is not recommended by most cleaning service providers. The simple way to remove the topcoat is by applying a chemical formula to the hardwood floor surface. In about 20 minutes, the old topcoat will be completely removed and we can proceed to the next step.
A buffing pad attached to a buffer is then used to scrub the floor once the topcoat is disintegrated. The scrubbing process is important since it removes cleaning solution build-ups, minor scratches, and dirt.
Once the hardwood floor is scrubbed and rinsed, a putty material is then used to repair any pits or grooves on the floors. The inspection needs to be thorough to ensure all the areas are covered.
The last step is the application of a quality top coat to your hardwood floors. A total of two coats need to be applied with each taking around 30 minutes to fully apply. This step ensures the floor is much more durable and can last up to 5 years.
