Why You Should Hire a Professional Flooring Artisan to Refinish Your Hardwood Floors
Many homeowners wonder about the right time to refinish their hardwood floors. While it is possible for hardwood floors to remain in good condition for a lifetime with proper care, regular cleaning and occasional polishing can help maintain their appearance. However, there will eventually be a need to refinish the wood floors.
The frequency of refinishing hardwood floors depends on various factors. While the regular care and maintenance of hardwood floors are important considerations, factors such as foot traffic, daily wear and tear, and unexpected incidents that may cause damage also play a significant role. If your usual cleaning and polishing routine no longer restores the shine as effectively as before, it may be time to consider refinishing the hardwood floors.
If you're worried about the expenses associated with refinishing hardwood floors, you'll be pleased to discover that refinishing can prolong the lifespan of your flooring. Taking into account the added value that hardwood floors can provide to a residence, it becomes evident why it's a wise investment –– in addition to being an environmentally friendly and sustainable option.

Signs that your Santa Monica Hardwood Floors are in need of professional refinishing services?
If you are experiencing any of the mentioned problems below with your floors, now might be a suitable moment to think about refinishing your hardwood floors with ELITE Floor Covering West Los Angeles.
WATER DAMAGE
Stained or discolored flooring is a clear indicator of water damage. The initial step is to determine the extent of the water damage: is it minor or major? If there is standing water, it can penetrate the wood and lead to a condition called cupping, where the lower side of the boards absorbs more moisture than the top, resulting in the bottom of each board expanding and forming a wavy surface with raised seams.
MAJOR SCRATCHES, DENTS, OR GOUGES
Significant scratches or deep dents in hardwood flooring are not easily fixed with regular cleaning and polishing methods that typically address minor scratches. These problems may require sanding, filling, and refinishing to be resolved. It is advisable to consult a flooring artisan for a thorough evaluation of the damage and to determine the most effective course of action for optimal results.
FADING AND DISCOLORATION FROM THE SUN
Wood is sensitive to light, meaning excessive direct sunlight can harm hardwood floors, leading to bleaching, fading, or darkening, depending on the type of hardwood. An evident indication of sun damage on wood flooring is visible when an area rug is lifted or shifted from a sunny spot without shade. If sun damage is detected, sanding and refinishing will probably be necessary for your wood floor.
IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE STAINS
Having exhausted all your efforts, you are still unable to eliminate it. Certain stains on hardwood floors are extremely stubborn and cannot be removed with regular cleaning methods, not even with a deep clean. Some stains are a result of pets and might not only be unpleasant to look at but also emit odors. It's now time to contact ELITE Floor Covering for a comprehensive assessment of your hardwood floors.
YOU WANT NEW LOOK
Opting to refinish floors is a great way to alter the color of your flooring. Although many refinishing projects involve stripping and replacing the current finish, this process can also eliminate the existing stain to reveal the natural beauty of the hardwood floor. After removing the stain, you have the flexibility to refinish your floors with various products, allowing you to choose the desired color, shine, and texture to suit your preferences.
There is no specific "ideal" time for refinishing hardwood floors. As long as the temperature in your home remains consistent (preferably between 65-75 degrees) during the refinishing process and the curing period of the floor, you can proceed with refinishing. However, if you reside in a high-humidity area, it might be better to wait for a less humid climate.
Refinishing floors in the summer could be advantageous as many people tend to be away from home for extended periods during this season. Additionally, it is recommended to opt for dust-free sanding and use Bona stains, sealers, and finishes for a more convenient and safer process, allowing you to return to your home sooner.
