Refinish Your Old Wood Floors

With Top Industry Professionals

Hardwood floors are a classic, timeless style in any home. Not only do they look beautiful, but they are low maintenance, easy to clean, long lasting and durable. When choosing to install flooring, hardwood is typically a solid choice that comes with many benefits.

Trusted Antique Hardwood Floor Restoration
From Footprints Floors

If you're moving into a home with older hardwood floors, you may find some scratches or wear on them that you want to fix. Even though this natural patina can have a beautiful look, it's still important to keep your hardwood looking good and well-maintained. A great way to do so is through floor refinishing.

Antique hardwood floor refinishing doesn't have to be difficult. Although you can do it yourself, hiring professional restoration experts from Footprints Floors is a great way to ensure your timeless floors are taken care of and restored to their original glory.

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 those through 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 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.

Should I Replace or Refinish
My Hardwood Flooring?

When considering an antique hardwood flooring restoration, you may wonder if it's worth the hassle or just better to replace them with new floors altogether.

The decision is ultimately yours, and you can't really go wrong with either choice. Refinishing your floors, however, doesn't have to be the messy process many make it out to be. It also can be a more budget friendly option for those looking to give their existing flooring a sparking new finish.

What To Consider Before Restoring Hardwood Floors

Hardwood floor restoration can be a great way to elevate the look of your home. However, it shouldn't be attempted or done without adequate research and consideration. If you're thinking about going this route, consider the following factors:

Time


Refinishing your hardwood floors isn't a one-day project. After sanding your floors, you will also need to seal them. This sealer will need to be set for at least 24 hours before it's safe to put furniture back into the room. You might not be able to complete it in a day, but refinishing your floors is a doable weekend project if you plan it right.

Equipment


A professional grade sander will be needed for your refinishing project. It's probably not an item you'll want to buy just for a one-time use. Many hardware stores rent these out, or you can contact professionals like those at Footprints Floors to do all the work and have the equipment you need.

Cost


The cost of refinishing hardwood is dependent on a few factors, including the size of the room and sealer needed. For the average cost of a wood floor to be refinished by professionals, it's always best to get a quote to better understand your project.

What Our Customers Say

Dan and his team did a wonderful job at our house. The wood floors were in desperate need of help due to previous damage and mistreatment. We decided on a satin finish and they came out great. The team was very efficient, got the project done in a timely manner, and were very communicative throughout the process. 100% recommend.
Sarah L. 05/12/24 — google
We had Footprints Floors replace carpet, laminate, and linoleum with LVP and had a great experience. The pricing was competitive, the communication from Joseph was top-notch, and we are very happy with the finished outcome. Chris also went above and beyond in helping us replace the baseboards and making the floor look amazing.
Dan Egbert 05/12/24 — google
Great experience. Our floors look amazing. Could not ask for a better company to work with. Thank you!
Chris DiMarcella 05/12/24 — google
So, I interviewed three or four places. Why did I pick Kyle and Footprints? One place, who was supplied by my condo's management company, said the floors were too old to be sanded and stained. I got a good price form someone else but it did not include staining. When Kyle came, the tipping points for me were (a) I liked him (b) he gave me a pamphlet of stains and showed me the most popular ones per real estate agents (c) he said the floors were old but could take one more sanding and stain. That to me showed knowledge, expertise, and consideration of my ultimate goal - selling the place. And, they did a great job.

Keith was wonderful and amazing! He did an excellent job installing our tile floor. I would use him again and recommend him to my friends
Carolyn Finke 05/11/24 — google
Kyle and his team were absolutely fantastic. They worked with us on a tight timeline to level the floors in the back rooms and put in all new wood floors throughout our unit. It was a big job, and they were straightforward about the work, respectful of our time and space, extremely easy to communicate with, and very kind as well. Our new floors look and feel incredible - we’re so happy with the work they did. Would work with them again without hesitation!

Dan (his son Conner and the lead guy Jonny) did an amazing job with our project. We hired them to get rid of the carpet on our stairs and install hardwood to match our floors. The work was exceptional and the team was very friendly and communicative. We would recommend them to anyone with a flooring project!

Kyle is the owner of Footprints Flooring in Chicago. He was very responsive and professional throughout the whole process of restoring my floors. His guys did a great job and I am happy with the results.
Jolanta Gal 05/10/24 — google
Our hardwood floors were overdue for some TLC, and we had several local businesses come out for estimates. When Aaron from Footprints Floors came out to visit, I knew right away that he ran his business differently from the others and he was the one to get the job. Top notch service from the get-go: competitive and fair pricing, EXCELLENT communication throughout the entire process, a fantastic (and respectful!) crew that was hard working and efficient with their time, and a finished product that exceeded our expectations. Without hesitation, 100% recommend!
Katie Z 05/9/24 — google
From start to finish, those with Footprints Floors were exceptionally friendly, helpful, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. Their task was to tear out carpeting and lay vinyl flooring, including ¼ rounds and transition pieces on about 1,500 sq ft. It was done beautifully, and incredibly, in just over 4 days. I would recommend them to my friends in a New York minute.
Linda Lou 05/9/24 — google
Oh my goodness! If you are looking to get flooring done this is the place. I have had them work on several different styles of floors such as LVP, vinyl sheeting, carpet, and hardwood and they have knocked it out of the park every time. I even had them redo one of my showers for me! Joe and his team are super professional and handle problems as they arise and make me feel comfortable with the plan moving forward. I would recommend to anyone!
Ty Bradshaw 05/9/24 — google
Kevin was quick to respond and communicated well, checking in on the progress prior to the tiling and then checked in, in person, each day the tilers were here. Excellent craftsmanship and professionalism. He was also able to recommend a great plumber who had amazing availability and would also recommend him. We are very happy with the work!
Ansley Riedel 05/9/24 — google
I would highly recommend print flooring! Tom is absolutely amazing. He is a true professional! We updated the flooring in our house and he helped us every step of the way. We chose manufactured hardwood flooring for the living room and bedrooms and tile in the kitchen and both bathrooms. They did incredible job and the quality of work is superior! We are going to use Footprints Flooring to update both showers in the house as well. Tom made everything so convenient and stress-free!
Robin Meyers 05/9/24 — google
Brian and his team from Footprints Floors were amazing. We had the hardwood in our home sanded and refinished. We also installed LVP in our kitchen. They completed the job right on time and it came out great!
Parth Patel 05/9/24 — google
I called Footprints on a Thursday and they were able to do the installation on Monday. The installer Charles brought all the supplies he needed down to brooms and trash bags. He was amazing and very professional. I would highly recommend this company.
Robin Sherin 05/9/24 — google
We recently finished our basement which included a living room, guest room and bathroom and needed new flooring. The salesperson, Billy, came by for a quote and after listening to our vision provided us with several options on how to make it happen. He answered all of our questions and provided recommendations and an estimate that day and was able to get us on the schedule the following week. The crew that installed our LVP/Floating Floor was punctual, professional, and did a fantastic job. I'd highly recommend Footprints Floors and will use them again.
