Refinishing

The answer will vary depending on how well the hardwood floors have been maintained.   With heavy traffic (dogs, kids, activity) and no maintenance, you may need to have the floors refinished in as little as 3-5 years.   The general rule of thumb for regular traffic is 7-12 years.   If you follow Kimminau Floors maintenance procedures and have your floors cleaned and coated every 3-5 years you can dramatically increase the life of your floor and go 20+ years before they need to be refinished.

There are clear signs that your floors may need refinishing. These signs include a dull finish, deep scratches, and dents. Fading color due to sunlight exposure, water damage, warping, cupping, pet stains, or discoloration can also indicate the need for refinishing.

Installing hardwood flooring increases the price of your home, but does refinishing the wood improve your home’s value? Yes, in most cases having floors that look like new adds to the atmosphere of your home and gives you 70%-100% of your investment back if you chose to sell your home. If you aren’t planning to sell, when your hardwood floors are refinished, you save time and money as opposed to a complete replacement of your hardwood floors. When the floors are maintained, minor problems can be handled earlier, before they become big and expensive issues. Refinishing what is already installed means you get great value from what you already have in your house. Not to mention your floors will look like new!

This will depend on the quality of the engineered floor that was installed.  There’s a huge variance in the quality of engineered products.  The cheap engineered products often found at big box retailers will usually have an extremely thin wear layer that cannot be refinished.   The higher quality engineered products will have thicker wear layer that will allow a professional to refinish them 2-3 times.   Kimminau Floors will only purchase and resell engineered products that are provided by manufacturers that meet the requirements of the NWFA Certified Refinishable program.
