Flooring Restoration

With Top Industry Professionals in Carmel


Even if you take great care of your hardwood floors, cleaning and polishing them regularly, years of wear and tear take their toll. Or, perhaps you’ve moved recently into an older home with hardwood floors that need more than just dusting and polishing. Either way - it’s time to refinish or restore your floors.

Flooring restoration is a lengthy and laborious process involving sanding, patching, staining and top coating. Even if you’re an accomplished DIY-er, this is not your average weekend project and is best left to the professionals. Ways to mess up your floors lurk at every step of the project.

Common Mistakes Include Uneven Sanding


A drum sander, the most common tool used for this part of refinishing floors, can be rented from most hardware stores. This large piece of equipment weighs a ton and creates a lot of noise and dust. For someone with no experience, wrangling this machine is extremely difficult and can result in scraping away too many layers of wood in spots, leaving sander-shaped impressions across your hardwood floor. They also don’t do a great job in corners and other hard to reach areas. Odd angles and uneven sanding can lead to gouges in your floor. Footprints Floors contractors are highly skilled and have more powerful, higher-quality equipment to sand floors beautifully and evenly.

Common Mistakes Include Dust


That never-ending nemesis, dust. Sanding floors creates a lot of dust particles that have to be meticulously cleaned before proceeding to next steps. If you fail to remove all those little dust specks before staining and finishing your floors, those teeny tiny bits of wood or lacquer will get trapped under the finish, ruining the smooth look you’re after. Footprints Floors contractors have the eye for detail and dedication you need to make sure your floors are dust free before anything else is applied.

Common Mistakes Include Bad Application of Stain and/or Finish


Footprints Floors has access to a wider range of products for stains and finishes than you’ll find at your local hardware store. Not only more color and style options, but higher quality formulas that last longer, dry faster and frankly look better. In addition to using high quality products on your floors, Footprints Floors contractors are trained in the best techniques for applying stains and finishes. A common problem seen in DIY flooring restoration is peeling finish. Other rookie mistakes include applying too many layers of finish without letting it dry in between applications. Instead of the sleek, shiny floors of your dreams, poorly finished floors will quickly look dull, dirty and potentially damaged.

Benefits Of Restoring Hardwood Floors


Over time, hardwood floors can tarnish and show their age. Replacing hardwood floors can be expensive, and your antique floors can become worth a lot if you take care of them. In that case, refinishing may be a better alternative to replacing your hardwood altogether.

Cost-Effective

Even if you hire professionals like Footprints Floors, refinishing hardwood floors typically ends up costing quite a bit less than installing new hardwood.

Increased Home Value

Solid wood floors are greatly appealing to potential buyers, and taking care of your floors with antique floor refinishing in Carmel is a great way to preserve and add value to your home.

Increased Safety

Damaged floors aren't just an eyesore, they can also bring some big safety concerns. Splinters in the feet, for example, aren't comfortable and could get infected. Antique floors can also be uneven, which may lead to tripping or falls.

Ward Off Pests

Did you know the craters, small holes and crevices that can appear in hardwood floors are a bug's best friend? Termites, ants and decay can wreak havoc on your floors, but regularly refinishing them can seal off bugs and other issues.

What Our Customers Say

Tom at Footprints was absolutely amazing to work with. Personable and informative from quote to finish. He and his team ensured that our vision for our backsplash exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend utilizing Footprints for your installation needs.

Absolutely incredible! I got my work done remotely and yet they took care of everything without me woryying about the project . They go above and beyond . We noticed a molding that was missed in a particular step and called them after 4months the project was complete. Tom Instantly responded to take care of it. I'm glad I went with a company that are true to their business and take care of their customers.

My experience with Footprints Floors Carmel taking up an existing wood floor glued to a cement slab and replacing it with a new wood floor was excellent. Everyone involved in the project was very professional and outstanding to work with, including Brian Knuth, owner, Tom Hickerson, estimator, and Kevin McNany, manager. I would highly recommend this company. They do quality work.

Tom and Kevin were easy to work with when it was time to redo the floors throughout my home. The flooring crew was absolutely incredible, and I cannot express how thoroughly impressed I am with their perfect work. Just speechless!! I can’t wait to use this crew again when it’s time to redo my bathroom floors!
Ginny Rhoades 09/29/23 — google
Tom and his team do incredible work! Although based in Carmel, they went out of their way to come redo the floors in my new home all the way in Anderson! They were on time, updated every step of the way, and highly professional. Footprints does great work and I will definitely use them again!

I’ve used Footprints Floors for several large projects over the past 2 years and the level of service an quality they provide is truly unmatched. Most recently, Tom and his team put in a heated tile system and new shower in my master bathroom. The team is professional, friendly, attentive to details and took extra care to make sure I was 100% satisfied with their work. In addition to the master bathroom, Footprints also put in hardwood floors in my entire main floor and master bedroom about 18 months ago, which turned out absolutely beautiful and transformed the whole look of my house. I highly recommend them for any flooring project and know that if I have a future need Tom is the first person I call.

Excellent to work with. Everything was on-time and excellent quality of work. We love the end result.
A Google User 05/23/23 — google
That m and his team are all very professional, thorough, and clean. We needed a board on our floor replaced due to it being damaged by an electrician. I was not confident that this could be done. The cake out quickly after I called for an estimate. They scheduled me quickly. They showed up on time, reviewed the scope of work with me, and did exactly what they said. They did a great job of cleaning up after the work as well. You cannot tell where the damages were, which board was replaced, or that any dust was created from the repairs. Highly recommended!!!
Jon McCord 05/16/23 — google
Great responsiveness and professionalism. Turned out great!
Travis Carmean 05/9/23 — google

Mieko Rigdon 04/25/23 — google
Tom and Craig from Footprints of Carmel were professional and great to work with throughout the entire process of installing our new floor. Their teams showed an eye for detail and I would recommend them to anyone needing flooring or repairs done.
Hueyy Strong 04/24/23 — google
Tom gave us some great advice on what we should do about some trouble we were having with our engineered hardwood floor.
Jackie Beale 02/23/23 — google
We had the crew install a backsplash and laminate floor. They did a great job. The crews were on time and 100% cleaned up at the end of each work day, no tools or equipment lying around. When they pulled up the laminate flooring and found that the floor was very unlevel, they were able to offer a solution at a reasonable cost. The crew manager helped us figure out what we needed to supply, ie grout, mortar, transition pieces etc, and provided a list which was very helpful and saved some money from having them pick everything up. I would 100% recommend them and they will be my only call when we need wok completed in the future. As a matter of fact, they will be coming in the spring to refinish our hardwood floors!
Lori Aubin 02/5/23 — google
Footprints Flooring did amazing work refinishing my original hardwood floors!! They got me on the schedule for just days after my quote, they were professional, and efficient with their time. I was blown away by the final product and so happy with my choice to have them do this job for me. They made sure I was satisfied with the choice of color and the final product and answered any/all questions I had. 10/10 would recommend
Kalyn Schreiber 01/20/23 — google
We cannot say enough good things about Footprints Floors! From Tom coming to measure, Craig overseeing the project, and the amazing dedicated team of installers….we could not be more pleased! Our house is very old (late 1800’s and add-on in 1930’s) - the team had to level the floors before vinyl plank could be installed. Additional work that was done to give us the best quality product and floors we will enjoy for years to come!! Thank you all at Footprints Floors!
Karen Hawkins 01/17/23 — google

This was a great team. They squeezed our project in close to the holiday and had a very good crew. They were professional, polite, and did a great job. They protected carpets and walls and cleaned up EVERYTHING. Supervisor checked in often and was always available if needed. Highly recommend this Footprints Floors Carmel.
Chris Hollingsworth 12/15/22 — google
Tom and Craig were very responsive to all my questions. The installers were polite and cleaned up after themselves. We definitely recommend their services!
sarah johnson 11/30/22 — google
Everyone I dealt with (Tom with sales and quoting), Craig (field manager), and the different team members who did the work were all very professional and courteous. After the job was done I found a couple things I didn’t like, Craig acted fast in getting the issues resolved. I would recommend this team to anyone.
