DIY vs. Professional Job

DIY Methods

DIY sanding involves renting equipment, purchasing materials, and doing the work yourself. While it may seem cost-effective, DIY methods often lead to uneven sanding and unintentional damage due to improper handling of heavy machinery.

Potential Challenges

• Risk of Damage: Inexperienced handling of sanding equipment can damage your floors.
• Quality of Finish: Achieving a professional, even finish requires skill and precision.
• Time Commitment: DIY projects can take longer, costing you more in rental fees and time.

• Guaranteed Results: We stand by our work, providing you with a flawless, long-lasting finish.

Helpful Tips for You

1. Clear the Area Beforehand

• Moving furniture and décor from the room gives our team a clear workspace, helping us complete the job more efficiently and safely.

2. Consider Room Temperature and Humidity

• Ideal indoor conditions—like moderate temperature and humidity levels—help the finish dry properly. This is especially important if you live in a humid or very dry area.

3. Allow for Drying Time

• After sanding and finishing, give the floors time to fully cure before placing furniture back in the room. This ensures a durable finish that won’t be damaged by pressure or weight.

4. Add Protective Pads to Furniture

• Protect your newly sanded floors from scratches by placing felt pads on the bottoms of your furniture. This small step can prevent unsightly marks from forming over time.

5. Keep Pets and Kids Clear During Work

• Floor sanding can create noise and dust, so we recommend keeping pets and children out of the room while we work to ensure their safety and comfort.

Maintenance and Aftercare

Taking a few simple steps after your floors are sanded and finished can preserve their beauty and durability for years.

Daily and Weekly Care

• Dust and Sweep Regularly: Dust particles can scratch your floor over time, so sweeping or using a microfiber cloth helps keep them pristine.
• Avoid Excess Water: Water can damage wood, so avoid wet mopping and opt for damp mops instead.

Monthly and Seasonal Maintenance

• Deep Cleaning: Use a wood-safe cleaner monthly to remove any buildup without damaging the finish.
• Inspect for Damage: Check periodically for small dents or scratches, and apply touch-up polish if necessary.

Long-Term Protection

• Regular Refinishing: To maintain the quality and color, consider light refinishing every few years, especially in high-traffic areas.
• UV Protection: Prolonged sun exposure can cause fading. Use blinds or rugs to protect your floors from direct sunlight.

Did You Know?

Did you know that regular floor sanding can actually improve the air quality in your home? Hardwood floors that are properly sanded and sealed have fewer allergens, dust, and particles than other surfaces, making them a great choice for allergy-sensitive households. With our low-VOC finishes, we ensure that your floors are not only beautiful but also safe and family-friendly.
