Hardwood floors are made to be durable. However, exposure to foot traffic, dirt, salt, and other debris over the years will take its toll. Wood floor refinishing offers a way to reverse the effects of aging, offering the following benefits.

Why Get Your Hardwood Floors Refinished?

1. Improved Aesthetics

One of the most noticeable benefits of wood floor refinishing is the enhanced appearance once complete. Any small scrapes, dents, or scratches will be removed during this process, leaving you with flooring that isn’t just strong but looks almost as good as new. You can also have a finish placed on the wood after the repairs to help deter any future damages from occurring.  

2. Cost-Effective 

Replacing flooring can be expensive—both due to the labor costs of removing the damaged wood and the cost of purchasing new materials. Refinishing, on the other hand, just involves sanding out the imperfections to stop any damage in progress—saving both time and money—and puts off the need for replacement.

3. Increase Home Value

Having flooring that is in optimal shape will be a selling point to individuals looking to purchase your home, especially if it is hardwood. Refinishing helps remove any visible blemishes and displays the beauty and history of your flooring to any interested buyers.

4. Prevents Pests

Broken wood, gaps, and cracks all offer the perfect hideout for unwanted pests like ants and termites to build their nests or gain entry into your home. Refinishing your floor will remove and seal any of those small spaces they may use for these purposes.
