Should I Hire a Pro to Handle Hardwood Floor Refinishing or Do It Myself?

While it is possible to refinish your hardwood floors yourself, it is a complex and time-consuming process. If you are not experienced in hardwood floor refinishing, it is best to hire a professional to ensure that the job is done correctly.

Should I Have My Hardwood Floors Refinished Now or Wait?

Not sure if your floors need to be refinished right away? There are a few ways to tell that it’s time to refinish your floors beyond the obvious signs of damage and wear. 

  • One way is to drop a couple of beads of water on the floor and observe whether they get soaked into the floor within a few minutes. If so, it’s time to refinish. This means the existing finish is no longer doing its job to protect the surface of the wood. If you wait, it can lead to even more damage and a more expensive refinishing job as a result. 
  • Likewise, if your floors are uneven or warped, it’s time to call in a professional. At N-Hance of South Nassau, we can handle a wide range of refinishing jobs, from basic to complex.

  • If there is water damage in certain areas, the boards can separate which can take longer to fix. In many cases, however, we can bring your floors back to life without having to replace them.
