ASKED QUESTIONS – FLOORING |

How
long does floor refinishing typically take from start to finish?
At the risk of sounding elusive, we really must say that “it depends.” If
the room is empty, or unfurnished, it takes a lot less time than refinishing
the floor in a fully furnished room. Also, it depends upon the size of
the room and obstacles that exist. As a general rule of thumb, approximately
500 square feet of vacant floor space can be refinished in one day. If,
however, any staining is required, the stain must be allowed to dry for
one day. Also, if there is furniture in the room, the time for refinishing
doubles, at least.
The timing for a new floor installation will depend on numerous variables,
such as whether the old floor is being removed, the condition of the sub-floor,
building requirements for sub-flooring, etc.

What
do I need to do to prepare for my floor refinishing?
The best thing you can do is remove everything from the room(s) being
refinished. Remember this – floor refinishing requires heavy duty
sanding, numerous times. The dust particles that are created fly everywhere
even when a “dustless sander” is used. Remarkably, dust from
floor refinishing even gets into closed cabinets and closets. So, you need
to be mentally prepared for this kind of a mess and clean-up afterward.

What
type of return on investment can I expect from refinishing
my floor if I sell my home?
Residential real estate agents say homes with wood floors hold their value
better, sell faster, and fetch higher prices, according to a recent nationwide
survey commissioned by the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA). The
percentage is not quite known. |
