Well, exactly as it is referenced. On-site refinishing happens when we sand and refinish the existing wood flooring in your home. Most homes in Maryland, Virginia and the Washington DC area, usually have oak floors or pine wood flooring. And these existing wood flooring can last lifetimes. Dating back to 1500, 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900’s and up-to-date.

A prefinished wood flooring is typically already pre-finished and manufactured pre-finished from the factory. In different colors and sizes. Popular brands such as Bruce, Mohawk are readily available when repairs of such wood are necessary. Prefinished wood flooring is popular amongst a small fraction of clients. Typically, the ones wanting to avoid the sanding process. Or, when matching another prefinished wood flooring area(s) in the residence.

Now, which one is better? Prefinished or unsanded wood flooring? The answer is both pre-finished and unsanded wood flooring is better than carpet or tile. They both bring a warmth of natural beauty and an eco-friendly environment within the home. Un-sanded and prefinished wood flooring are also available in a number of widths and thicknesses. The un-sanded flooring is typically 2 ¼ width and ¾ thickness. The prefinished wood flooring is also manufactured in the same size or wider and less thick planks. Other sizes available are 4 inch, 5 inch, 6 inch, and so on; and, if needed, Refinish My Floors, LLC can process a special order of a desired length. The method of installation for un-sanded and pre-finished wood flooring can be glued down on below grade or concrete underlayment. And for above grade, staples and nails.
