Question 1

How much does it cost to install or refinish hardwood floors?

Accepted Answer

Refinishing generally costs less than new installation because it reuses your existing wood, but the real figure depends on square footage, wood species, subfloor condition, and finish. We don't post a flat rate, because quoting a floor sight-unseen does you a disservice — request a free estimate and we'll give you a real number for your space and timeline.

Question 2

Should I refinish my floors or replace them?

Accepted Answer

Refinish if your hardwood still has enough thickness left in the wear layer — it costs a fraction of replacement and keeps your original wood. Replace if the boards are cupped, water-damaged, or already sanded down near the tongue. We measure the remaining thickness during your estimate and tell you honestly which makes sense; we don't sell a replacement you don't need.

Question 3

How many times can hardwood floors be refinished?

Accepted Answer

A solid hardwood floor can typically be sanded and refinished four to six times over its lifetime, depending on board thickness and how aggressively it was sanded before. Engineered hardwood depends entirely on its wear layer — a thick one may allow one or two sandings, a thin one none at all. We check yours before recommending anything.

Question 4

Is hardwood worth it compared to luxury vinyl plank (LVP)?

Accepted Answer

Hardwood adds real resale value and can be refinished for decades, while LVP is cheaper upfront and fully waterproof but can't be sanded or restored — once it wears, it's replaced. For homes where longevity and resale matter, solid hardwood is the long-game choice.
