SERVICE OVERVIEW

Finishing hardwood floors is the final step in the installation or refinishing process. The finish protects the wood from wear and tear, moisture, and dirt, while also enhancing the natural beauty of wood.

Here are the general steps involved in finishing hardwood floors:

1.    Preparation: The room is cleared of all furniture and objects, and the flooring is sanded to create a smooth and even surface. The room is then cleaned thoroughly to remove all dust and debris.

2.    Selecting the finish: There are various types of finishes available, including water-based, oil-based, and wax. Each type of finish has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of finish will depend on factors such as the type of wood and the desired look.

3.    Applying the finish: The finish is applied to the floor using a brush, roller, or sprayer. The finish is typically applied in thin, even coats and allowed to dry completely before applying additional coats. The number of coats needed will depend on the type of finish and the desired level of protection.

4.    Drying: The finish is allowed to dry completely before the room can be used. The drying time can vary depending on the type of finish and the humidity in the room.

5.    Cleaning and maintenance: It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and maintenance to ensure the longevity of the finish and the flooring.
