Make Your Old Floors Look Brand New
Over time, even the most durable hardwood floors can become dull, scratched, and worn from foot traffic. Sanding and refinishing is a transformative process that removes the old, damaged finish and a thin layer of wood, revealing a fresh surface below. A new stain and multiple coats of durable polyurethane will make your floors look brand new again. LocalXR connects you with flooring craftsmen who specialize in this detailed process.

Floor Refinishing FAQs
What is the difference between screening and a full refinish?
Screening (or buffing) lightly abrades the top coat to apply a new protective coat, only fixing minor surface scratches. A full refinish involves sanding down to the bare wood to remove deep scratches, damage, or change the stain color entirely.
How long does the refinishing process take and when can I walk on it?
The sanding and finishing process typically takes 3-5 days. You can usually walk on the floor in socks 24 hours after the final coat, but furniture should not be moved back for 3-4 days to allow the finish to cure fully.
