Selecting the Best Flooring Contractor to Refinish Hardwood Floors in Sound Beach, NY

There’s no better way to add beauty, elegance, and immediate return to your home than classic hardwood flooring. While hardwood is durable, it does not resist scratches or dents. It’s good to know that hardwood floors don’t need to be replaced after a few years. Rather, hardwood floors should just be refinished and made to look brand new.

This is a great time to hire a professional to refinish and rejuvenate your hardwood flooring. Homeowners in Sound Beach, NY seeking a local company to refinish hardwood floors can contact flooring experts like Cousins Hardwood Floors. Cousins Hardwood Floors provides refinishing services for hardwood floors. Refinishing hardwood floors is a multi-step process that will remove dents and scratches. The Cousins Hardwood Floors team will refinish your hardwood floors in Suffolk County and you will be pleased with the outstanding results.

Professional vs. Do-It-Yourself Hardwood Refinishing

When you are ready to refinish hardwood floors, you have two options. You can attempt the refinishing on your own or you can hire a professional to do it right the first time. While you may consider yourself handy, you most likely don’t have the powerful, high tech refinishing equipment that an expert like Cousins Hardwood Floors brings to every job.

Refinishing hardwood floors is no doubt a messy job that should be left to a professional. The first step is floor sanding to remove the old finish and sand out the dents, scratches and dirt. The mere thought of sanding wood brings to mind a big mess of wood dust and particles. The second step is polishing using a buffing machine, followed by a thorough vacuuming. A professional will know when the floor is considered smooth, even and perfectly clean. The third step is the coating or finishing stage. The wood can be stained and sealed, or just sealed with polyurethane.

When you hire a flooring contractor, these steps are part of their daily job so they handle it with ease and efficiency. A do-it-yourself project could be more of a guessing game and not yield even close to the results of a professional.

Refinishing Hardwood Floors Improves Appearance and Alleviates Safety Issues

No one wants to have guests see scratches, scuffs and dents in the hardwood floors. And adding area rugs and runners to cover up unsightly marks in the wood is not a long term solution.

Solid Hardwood Flooring is Impressively Beautiful, Durable and Valuable

Solid hardwood flooring is classic, elegant and timeless. And, as it should, hardwood flooring provides a great return on investment. Solid hardwood is a natural material, pure wood from top to bottom. Popular types include oak, maple, cherry, ash, walnut, hickory, bamboo and more. Hardwood floors add a warm yet elegant look to any room and match many decor styles, from modern to traditional.

Over time, hardwood flooring will bear the brunt of foot traffic, scratching from rearranging furniture and other daily wear and tear. That is why experts recommended that hardwood flooring be refinished approximately every 5 to 10 years. For high-traffic areas, hardwood flooring owners could cover some of the floor with area rugs and runners to cut down on damage and future maintenance.

Engineered Hardwood Offers Many Color Options and is Priced Less Than Solid Hardwood

If you were wondering what engineered hardwood is made of, we have good news. Engineered hardwood flooring is made with “real” wood. As solid hardwood is a single piece of wood, engineered hardwood is constructed of multiple layers. The top layer is solid hardwood that is then backed by multiple layers of wood material. Engineered hardwood is ideal for higher humidity areas of the home where a solid hardwood would typically warp. The multiple layered design makes for a stronger and more stable floor. And while engineered flooring does handle moisture better than solid hardwood, being made from wood it’s not actually waterproof.

Affordable Vinyl Wood Flooring Resembles Hardwood But Requires Less Maintenance

Vinyl Wood Flooring looks like solid hardwood but it’s a more affordable option. And while hardwood flooring requires refinishing, vinyl flooring requires minimal maintenance. Vinyl flooring is moisture, fade and scratch resistant. A simple sweeping or mopping of a vinyl floor makes it look new. Vinyl flooring is ideal for high traffic areas and is a great choice for homes with pets. It can be installed in sheets, planks or tiles.
