You may be interested to know how we'll go about restoring your hardwood floors. Below is our detailed 19 Step procedure we use: (This assumes existing carpets are removed and any repairs needed are already completed by us or another competent tradesman.) 1 Seal off all areas and set up the dustless equipment. Whether you choose to use our 101% Dust Free System or not, we always seal off the surrounding areas with plastic 2 Sweep and vacuum your floor. 3 Inspect your floor carefully looking for any protruding nails, splinters etc 4.Remove the existing finish. The purpose of the first sanding is to remove the old existing finish or waxes and get down to the bare wood. 5 Vacuum. This is the second of many vacuums to come. 6 Final cut with the belt sander and edger. This final sand is done with fine grit sandpaper and eliminates the coarser sanding scratches from the previous sanding. 7 Hand scrape and hand sand all the corners. The belt sander and edger aren't able to get right into the corners, around the door jambs or under and around the radiators so we need to do this by hand. The time spent in this step is one of the factors separating a good refinishing job from a great refinishing job. One of my big pet peeves in this industry is the guys that quickly rush through this step... and for obvious reasons - it's hard, painstaking, tedious work. We spend a lot of time in this step as we believe a great quality job is in the details. The extra effort is always worth it. 8 Vacuum. We thoroughly remove all of the shavings created from hand-scraping so they don't interfere with the next step. 9 Buff and flatten the floor. We use a special machine called a TRIO to blend the difference between the belt sander's straight sanding marks and the edger's circular marks. If this is done properly, when the finish is applied the difference in sanding patterns are barely visible and you'll also have a wonderfully flat and smooth floor. Extra Step: If you want to change the color of your floors, you will need to stain them. This adds quite a few extra steps to the process from this point forward that you can read about in our Information Sheet titled: "Staining Hardwood Floors - What's Involved?" 10 Walk through to completely check every inch of the floor. We carefully examine the floor for anything we may have missed during the last few steps. If anything needs attention it's looked after. 11 Vacuum. This is the final vacuum before the first coat is applied so it needs to be done extremely thoroughly. Your floors are now ready to be coated! 12 First coat. We now apply the first coat of the finish system you've decided to use. The first coat always looks ugly for either system (unless you choose the one coat Rubio Monocoat system in which Steps 13 to 18 don't apply) so don't let that worry you if you happen to see it before the second coat is applied. 13 Buff and hand sand. 14 Vacuum and tack. 15 Second coat. The second coat is now applied and left to dry. 16 Buff and hand sand. We return to prepare the floor for its third and final finish coat. Same procedure as in Step 13. 17 Vacuum and tack. 18 Third and final coat. 19 Final walk through. We like to come back the following day to make sure everything looks great and the floors meet up to our high standards. (We're very picky with ourselves so if we're happy, you'll be ecstatic) If you've invested in the 101% Dust Free System you'll be informed on how to contact the professional cleaner so you can schedule the final cleaning immediately. During this time, we'll also go through the floor cleaning and care procedures and leave you with some goodies, including a supply of felt pads, a bottle of cleaning solution and a detailed cleaning guide for future reference.
