Refinished Hardwood Floors Before And After. Watch how to refinish hardwood floors instead of having to replace them. Scratches, dullness and discoloring are the most common signs that the wood is due for refinishing.
Caring for your hardwood floors starts outside your home.
Hardwood floors typically last for the life of a home. My first post about the hardwood floor refinishing process focused on meeting with a bona certified craftsman to sample and choose a few stain colors and finishes. Before you start, determine what type of refinishing engineered wood is not a diy project and you should hire a professional. If you're planning to refinish an existing floor, pull up a floor register to make sure you have enough wood for another sanding.
