Wood Floor Refinishing – When Is The Best Time To Refinish?

Wood floor refinishing, whether it’s dependent upon the best time of year or due to other reasons, requires some careful consideration. Restoration of wood floors doesn’t have to be done very often – every 10 to 20 years under normal circumstances. But if the floors have lost their shine, are scratched and stained, even if you just want to change the color, then it’s a good time for wood floor refinishing.

As far as seasons go, sanding and refinishing hardwood floors in the Kansas City area can be done at any time throughout the year. But it’s probably best to have it done at a time when the weather conditions are suitable for this area of the Midwest. You do have to take into consideration the temperature indoors – it needs to be kept at 65 to 75 degrees throughout the wood floor refinishing process and for the 30 days following, but other than that there really isn’t a particular time of year that is better than any other. There is, however, a less than ideal time which is in the heat of summer when temperatures and humidity are high because the drying process takes longer.

When you’ve just bought a new-to-you home that has wood floors that are outdated or dull and have lost their luster you may want to invest in wood floor refinishing; however, it’s best to do it before you move in. You won’t have to move furniture around or stay away for the few days it takes to complete the process. Hardwood floors add value to your home; realtors can tell you – everybody wants hardwood floors these days.

Renovation work in your home when it involves wood floors is another occasion in which someone might choose to refinish. Updating the décor and changing the overall look of your home sometimes involves sanding and re-staining the floors. Refinishing the floors is less expensive than installing new floors. Before throwing out the old flooring, you should check into the viability of refinishing.

The process of re-doing the floors can take a few days so be sure to plan accordingly. Planning it around the holidays is not advised with all the festivities.
