Most hardwood floor refinishing projects take 3-5 days to complete. This includes sanding (1-2 days), staining if desired (1 day), and applying finish coats (1-2 days with drying time between coats). You can typically walk on the floors with socks after 24 hours and move furniture back after 72 hours. We use dustless sanding technology to minimize disruption to your home.

Yes, in most cases water-damaged hardwood floors can be repaired rather than fully replaced. Depending on the extent of damage, solutions include individual board replacement, sanding out water stains and discoloration, and addressing cupping or warping. We specialize in saving floors that other contractors say need complete replacement. Only severe structural damage or extensive mold issues typically require full replacement.

Dustless floor sanding uses specialized equipment with powerful vacuum attachments that capture 99% of dust at the source during the sanding process. This keeps your home significantly cleaner, improves air quality during the project, protects your furniture and belongings, and allows for faster project completion. DS Hardwood Flooring uses dustless sanding technology on all refinishing projects at no extra charge.

In most cases, refinishing is the better choice—it costs 70-80% less than replacement and maintains your home's original character. Refinishing is ideal if your floors are structurally sound but have surface scratches, worn finish, or outdated stain color. Replacement may be necessary if boards are severely warped, have extensive water damage, or are too thin from previous refinishing (less than 3/4" thickness). We offer free consultations to help you make the right decision.
