Frequently Asked Questions About Flooring

1.
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. |

2.
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. |

Can I buy those products from MyHome? |
|

Yes. That is a major
component of what makes us a full service

locations. |

5.
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. |
