Hardwood flooring resurfacing is a process of leveling your wood floors as flat as possible by professionally sanding them in a number of sequences to acquire a smooth hardwood flooring surface.

Resurfacing is often more cost-effective and time-efficient compared to complete floor replacement. It can breathe new life into worn or outdated hardwood floors without the need for extensive demolition. By choosing resurfacing, you can maintain the value of your home without compromising on the quality of your flooring material.

Any and all hardwood flooring surfaces of different kinds of wood species can be resurfaced. Some of the most common hardwood species include red oak, white oak, yellow pine, heart pine, and parquet flooring. Exotic hardwood species such as dark walnut, mahogany, bamboo, Brazilian cherry, birch, and others found in custom-built homes can also be resurfaced. If it’s solid hardwood flooring, it can be resurfaced.
