If you like your existing floors and would prefer minimal disruption to your household, refinishing your hardwood floors can be more economical and more convenient than replacing them.
Refinishing your floors restores the condition of the surface to its original pristine appearance, removing scuffs, scratches, and other visibly unseemly marks. No trimming or moulding is required, and less labour is involved.
Floors that have become warped, waterlogged, or severely damaged should be replaced with new hardwood floors.
