Resurfacing vs. Refinishing

At Vision Floors, a lot of our clients use the words refinish and resurface interchangeably to describe work they’d like done on their hardwood floors, however, the processes are slightly different

Refinishing hardwood floors involves sanding off the top layer of the floor that has been worn down and then adding a fresh coat of finish to the existing floor.  Resurfacing, however is a slightly more complex process.  Resurfacing involves removing old floorboards, sanding uneven boards, and reinforcing worn or loose nails.

You might be thinking, “But how do I know if my floor needs to be resurfaced or refinished?”

At Vision Floors we pride ourselves on honest customer service.  If a floor only has minor scuffmarks, discoloration, or a worn finish, we tend to recommend refinishing.  Generally we only recommend resurfacing if you have floor boards that are noticeably warped, or have water damage, if some of the floor boards have uneven color, if parts of floor boards are missing or cracked, if the wooden planks that make up your floor have holes, or if nails have come up from the floor and need to be replaced.

If your floor needs resurfacing or refinishing, contact Vision Floors today!  In addition to hardwood floor resurfacing and hardwood floor refinishing, we also do hardwood floor installation in Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin, Spring Hill, Rivergate, and Mt. Juliet.
