Preparing Your Home for Wood Floor Restoration

Welcome to Our Page! Hello and welcome! If you’re new here, we’re thrilled you’ve stopped by, and we hope this blog helps you in preparing your home for wood floor restoration. And to our regulars—you’re the best, and we’re so glad to have you back! Now, let’s dive into how to get your home ready for a stunning wood floor transformation.

Restoring your stunning wood floors is a perfect way to add a bit of life and character back into your home. After all… it’s not just about what it looks like… it’s about creating a space that feels warm and refreshed.

But a little preparing on your part can make the process run so much smoother and even more rewarding. I researched and found out how to get your home restoration… ready in a way that’s straightforward and stress-free.

 

Start with a Clear Room for Wood Floor Restoration

Let’s begin with the big one—clearing the room. Yes, everything needs to go! From sofas and side tables to rugs and potted plants, the floor needs to be completely accessible. This helps us work efficiently and makes sure every inch of your floor gets all the attention it deserves.

If the thought of moving furniture feels overwhelming, don’t worry. We can lend a hand with this for an additional fee. Just make sure you empty cupboards and drawers beforehand so nothing gets accidentally damaged.

 

Keep the Dust at Bay

Restoring your floor in your home can stir up some dust, but we’ve got it covered—literally! We’ll use dust sheets to protect doorways and surrounding areas.

We use a highly efficient vacuum system to thoroughly remove any dust particles from the freshly sanded wooden floor. A little effort here can save you time cleaning later!

 

Step Away from the Space

Once work begins, the space needs to be clear of people (and pets). This helps us get the job done safely and efficiently without distractions or mishaps. If you’re planning to stay home during the restoration, consider creating a temporary base in another room—it’s the perfect excuse for a family movie day or a little garden time!

 

Be Flexible with Timing During Your Wood Floor Restoration

The time it takes to restore your floors depends on a few things: how big the area is, how much TLC your floors need, and the drying time for the products we use. We’ll give you a clear idea of the timeline upfront, but it’s always good to be a little flexible. If you’ve got specific plans or deadlines, just let us know, and we’ll do our best to accommodate them.

 

Aftercare Is Key

When the wood floor restoration is complete, your floors will look absolutely stunning—but a bit of aftercare will help them stay that way. Here’s what to keep in mind:

  • Give It Time: The finish needs time to cure properly, so avoid moving furniture back in straight away. We’ll let you know exactly how long to wait.
  • Tread Lightly: If you need to walk on the floor before it’s fully cured, pop on some overshoes to protect the surface.
  • Lift, Don’t Drag: When it’s time to move furniture back, lift it into place rather than dragging it across the floor—no one wants scratches on their newly restored masterpiece!
