What is Sanding?
What is Sanding?
Sanding is the process of removing the top layer of your hardwood floors to eliminate imperfections like scratches, dents, and stains. It’s an essential step in restoring the surface to its original smoothness and preparing it for a fresh finish.
At Floor Pro, we use dustless sanding technology, which keeps the air clean and minimizes mess, so you don’t have to worry about your home or business being disrupted.
Sanding doesn’t just remove damage — it reveals the natural beauty of your wood, creating a smooth surface that’s ready for the next steps in the refinishing process. Whether your floors are lightly scratched or deeply stained, sanding is a crucial step in making them look as good as new again.
What is Refinishing? Is It Different from Sanding?
What is Refinishing? Is It Different from Sanding?
Yes, sanding and refinishing are different, but they work hand-in-hand to give your hardwood floors a complete refresh. While sanding is all about removing the old, refinishing is about adding the new. Once we’ve sanded the floors down to a smooth, clean surface, we move on to the refinishing stage.
Refinishing involves applying a new stain or sealant to enhance the color and protect your hardwood. At Floor Pro, we offer a variety of stain options, from classic rich tones to modern, light finishes. We work with you to choose the best look for your space, whether it’s a cozy living room or a professional office environment.
By refinishing your floors, we not only enhance their appearance but also add a protective layer that helps guard against future wear and tear. This means your floors will not only look beautiful — they’ll stay that way for years to come.
