Why Is Floor Sanding Necessary for Your Hardwood?

Floor sanding is an important maintenance step in preserving hardwood floors. It removes surface imperfections like scratches, dents, and worn areas, creating a smooth and even foundation for refinishing. Sanding also eliminates potential hazards such as splinters and loose nails, enhancing safety and durability.

Without proper sanding, new stains and finishes cannot adhere correctly, leaving floors looking uneven and worn. Regular professional sanding is necessary to maintain the beauty and extend the lifespan of hardwood floors in any home, and its importance should not be overlooked.

How Many Times Can You Sand a Wood Floor?

The number of times you can sand a wood floor depends on the thickness and condition of the top layer and whether it’s solid or engineered hardwood. Solid hardwood floors can typically be sanded and refinished 5-7 times before the boards become too thin. Engineered hardwood floors have a thinner veneer layer, so they can only be sanded 1-3 times before the core layers are exposed.

Keep in mind that our professionals' proper sanding techniques are also crucial to minimize wood removal and maximize the number of times you can sand.

How to Clean Refinished Hardwood Floors?

Once you’ve had your floors sanded down, it’s essential to follow a maintenance schedule. Doing so will extend the lifespan of your floors, making the investment worth every dollar.

To clean refinished hardwood floors:

Sweep or vacuum regularly using the hard floor setting to remove dust and debris.
For a deeper clean, use a professional wood floor cleaner and damp mop, being careful not to saturate the floors with water.
To prevent damage to the new finish, avoid harsh cleaners, excessive moisture, and walking on the floors until they’re fully dry.

How Much Does Floor Sanding Cost?

Setting a quote for floor sanding services without a preliminary consultation is challenging. However, once factors like the size of the area, the condition of the existing floors, and the type of wood are determined, the cost can be calculated.

Floors with extensive damage or those needing multiple rounds of sanding tend to cost more. While professional sanding comes at a range of price points, it is generally a worthwhile investment that can revitalize hardwood floors in a cost-effective manner compared to full replacement.
