Refinishing Techniques: Dustless Refinish, Buff and Coat, Sanding
We offer a comprehensive range of refinishing techniques tailored to meet the unique needs of your hardwood floors:
Dustless Refinish: Our dustless refinishing process is a game-changer for homeowners seeking a cleaner, healthier, and more convenient refinishing experience. By utilizing advanced dust containment systems and HEPA filtration, we minimize airborne dust particles, ensuring a cleaner and safer environment for your family and pets.
Buff and Coat: If your hardwood floors are in relatively good condition but have lost some of their shine and luster, our buff and coat service is an ideal solution. This process involves lightly abrading the existing finish and applying a fresh coat of polyurethane, revitalizing your floors and restoring their natural beauty with minimal disruption to your home.
Sanding: For hardwood floors with deeper scratches, stains, or imperfections, sanding may be necessary to achieve optimal results. Our skilled technicians utilize professional sanding equipment and techniques to carefully sand down the surface of your floors, removing imperfections and preparing them for refinishing with precision and attention to detail.

The Refinishing Process Explained in Detail
At Best Floor Coverings, we believe in transparency and ensuring our clients understand the refinishing process from start to finish. Here’s a more detailed breakdown of each step involved:
Initial Assessment: Our team begins by conducting a thorough assessment of your hardwood floors to evaluate their current condition and identify any issues that need to be addressed. This includes inspecting for scratches, dents, stains, and signs of wear and tear.
Preparation: Before we begin the refinishing process, we take the necessary precautions to protect your home and belongings. This may involve moving furniture, covering adjacent surfaces, and ensuring proper ventilation in the workspace.
Sanding: If your hardwood floors require sanding to remove old finishes, scratches, or imperfections, we use professional-grade sanding equipment to achieve a smooth and even surface. Our technicians pay close attention to detail to ensure uniformity and consistency throughout the sanding process.
Staining (Optional): For clients who wish to change the color of their hardwood floors or enhance their natural beauty, we offer a variety of staining options to suit their preferences. Our team works closely with clients to select the perfect stain color and ensure a flawless application.
Finishing: Once the sanding and staining (if applicable) are complete, we apply a durable finish to protect and enhance the appearance of your hardwood floors. We offer a range of finish options, including oil-based, water-based, and polyurethane finishes, each with its own unique benefits and characteristics.
Drying and Curing: After the finish has been applied, we allow sufficient time for it to dry and cure properly. This typically takes up to 24 hours, during which time we recommend avoiding foot traffic and heavy furniture to prevent damage to the newly refinished floors.
Final Inspection: Once the refinishing process is complete, our team conducts a final inspection to ensure that every detail meets our high standards of quality and craftsmanship. We address any remaining concerns or touch-ups to ensure your complete satisfaction with the results.
Choosing the Right Finish for Your Hardwood Floors
Selecting the right finish is essential to achieving the desired look and protection for your hardwood floors. Here’s an overview of the different types of finishes we offer and their unique properties:
Oil-Based Finish: Oil-based finishes provide a warm, rich appearance and penetrate deeply into the wood to enhance its natural beauty. They offer excellent durability and are resistant to water and wear, making them ideal for high-traffic areas.
Water-Based Finish: Water-based finishes are environmentally friendly and dry quickly, allowing for faster turnaround times. They offer a clear, natural appearance and provide excellent protection against scratches, stains, and UV damage.
Polyurethane Finish: Polyurethane finishes are highly durable and resistant to moisture, making them ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and other moisture-prone areas. They come in a range of sheen levels, from matte to high gloss, to suit your preferences.
Maintaining Your Refinished Hardwood Floors
Once your hardwood floors have been refinished, it’s important to take proper care of them to ensure their longevity and beauty. Here are some maintenance tips to help you keep your floors looking their best:
Regular Cleaning: Sweep or vacuum your hardwood floors regularly to remove dirt, dust, and debris that can scratch the surface. Use a damp mop or hardwood floor cleaner recommended by your flooring professional to clean up spills and stains promptly.
Avoid Water Damage: Hardwood floors are susceptible to water damage, so be cautious when mopping or cleaning to avoid excess moisture. Place rugs or mats in high-traffic areas and near entryways to trap dirt and moisture and protect your floors.
Protective Measures: Use furniture pads or felt protectors on the legs of chairs, tables, and other furniture to prevent scratches and dents. Avoid dragging heavy furniture or objects across the floor, as this can cause permanent damage to the finish.
Routine Maintenance: Schedule periodic maintenance appointments with Best Floor Coverings to inspect your refinished hardwood floors and address any issues or concerns that may arise. Our team can provide professional cleaning, buffing, and recoating services to keep your floors looking their best for years to come.
