Wood Floor Refinishing Services
Even the best quality, most durable hardwood floors will eventually need to be refinished. Foot traffic, kid traffic and pet traffic all contribute to wear layer deteriorating and leaving your hardwood with a dull, scratched up appearance.
Thankfully, if you own a Hardwood or even Engineered Hardwood floor it can be sanded and refinished so it looks just like new again. You can even change the tint or color!
J & J Wood Floors is a wood flooring contractor based out of Auburn, California and serving clients in Placer County and Nevada County including Granite Bay, Roseville, Loomis, Rocklin, Lincoln, El Dorado Hills, Meadow Vista, Newcastle, and surrounding areas. We specialize in Dustless Wood Floor Refinishing. With the Bona Atomic Dust Containment System we are able to capture and remove the sanding dust as it is being created by our machines and transport it via vacuum hoses out of your home and into a capture bin. These hoses connect directly to the machines so the dust never becomes airborne or accumulates on the floor to be tracked around.

The sanding process will remove all deep and surface scratches that your wood floors have collected over their many years of use. Staining will allow you to custom pick a new color to fit the style of your home and finishing will allow you to choose what type of finish and how many coats you will apply for durability.
Should I Sand My Hardwood Floors or Buff Them?
The answer depends on the current condition of your floors. Floors that have been scratched excessively from kids, pets or moving furniture (think deep scratches) will probably need a full sanding. If the floor just appears dull and worn then we can usually remove a minimal amount of the wear layer.
Buffing or screening floors is for maintaining a floor that is already in good condition. The screening process involves lightly sanding the top layer of existing finish. By very lightly abrading the top layer it helps to promote the adhesion of the new top finishing coat. Surface scratches can be eliminated, however deep scratches and gouges will still remain and require a full sanding.
How Do You Choose The Right Stain Color When Refinishing Hardwood Floors?
This is something we are frequently asked by our customers and we understand your concern. Simply put it’s hard to determine what the finished product will look like especially while choosing colors from a small paper or wood sample. We will apply your chosen stains to your floor during our wood floor refinishing appointment. You will be able to visually see and approve the color you like most. The possibilities are endless, stains can be mixed with others, or dyes to create a unique one of a kind look. We take the guess work out of choosing a color.

Do You Have Questions About Wood Floor Refinishing?
Wood floor refinishing is the process of sanding down the top layer of a wooden floor to remove surface damage, followed by applying a new finish to restore its original beauty and protect the wood.
Dustless floor refinishing is a process that uses advanced sanding equipment with powerful vacuums to capture dust as it is generated. This significantly reduces the amount of dust released into the air and minimizes the cleanup required after the job is done.
- Cleaner Environment: Reduces the amount of dust in your home, making the process cleaner and healthier.
- Healthier: Minimizes the risk of respiratory issues and allergies caused by dust particles.
- Less Cleanup: Reduces the time and effort needed to clean up after refinishing.
Dustless refinishing offers a cleaner, healthier alternative to traditional methods. It reduces the mess and cleanup associated with floor refinishing, making it a preferred choice for homeowners who want a hassle-free experience.
Refinishing your wood floors can:
- Restore Appearance: Remove scratches, dents, and stains to make the floor look new again.
- Extend Lifespan: Protect the wood from future damage and wear.
- Increase Home Value: Enhance the overall appeal and value of your home.
The frequency depends on the amount of traffic and wear. Generally, wood floors should be refinished every 7-10 years. High-traffic areas may need refinishing more frequently, while less-used areas can go longer between refinishing.
Most solid hardwood floors can be refinished multiple times. Engineered wood floors can also be refinished, but the number of times depends on the thickness of the top veneer layer. Laminate floors cannot be refinished.
- Visible Scratches and Dents: Deep scratches and gouges that penetrate the finish.
- Dullness and Discoloration: Loss of shine and color fading.
- Water Damage: Dark spots or stains from spills and moisture.
- Worn Areas: Areas where the finish has worn away, exposing bare wood.
The entire process can take 3-5 days, depending on the size of the area, the condition of the floors, and the type of finish used. This includes drying time between each coat of finish.
While DIY refinishing is possible, it requires specialized equipment and skills. Hiring a professional ensures the job is done correctly, efficiently, and with high-quality results. Professionals can also handle unexpected issues, such as deep stains or extensive damage.
- Oil-Based Polyurethane: Durable and gives a warm, amber tone to the wood.
- Water-Based Polyurethane: Clear finish that dries quickly and is less toxic.
- Wax: Traditional finish that provides a soft, natural look but requires more maintenance.
- Penetrating Oils: Enhance the natural beauty of the wood and provide a low-sheen finish.
- Regular Cleaning: Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris.
- Avoid Water: Use a damp mop, not a wet one, to clean the floors.
- Use Rugs and Mats: Place them in high-traffic areas and at entryways.
- Furniture Pads: Use pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches.
