How to Choose a Hardwood Floor Refinishing Contractor
Questions worth asking before the first sanding pass.

Questions worth asking before the first sanding pass.
Hiring the right flooring contractor can affect both how your home looks and how smoothly the work goes. Beyond comparing prices, pay attention to experience with your particular type of hardwood, communication, and the proposed scope.
Understand the estimate
Have the contractor explain preparation, sanding, staining, finish coats, baseboard protection, and any repairs. A clear estimate is easier to compare than a single unexplained number.
- What finish system will be used?
- How will dust and surrounding rooms be managed?
- Who will do the work?
- What is the expected project schedule?
Discuss realistic outcomes
Old stain, wood species, previous repairs, and sunlight can affect how the finished floor looks. A trustworthy refinisher will explain those limitations rather than promise every board will look identical.
