Hardwood floor refinishing restores existing wood by removing worn finish, scratches, dullness, and surface aging. The process may include sanding, staining, and applying protective coatings for renewed beauty and durability.

Floors should be refinished when they appear dull, scratched, faded, uneven, or worn through the protective coating. Refinishing is worthwhile when the wood remains structurally sound and reusable for years.
