QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE

While we would love to give you an exact answer, in reality, “it depends.” A bigger project will take longer than a small one. The average home in Los Angeles may have a living room, dining room, foyer, hallway and three bedrooms that need finishing. Assuming these floors do not require additional repairs, on average it would take about three days

If you have just a few small pieces that need to be moved around, we can help you move them. You will need to find help to move them back once the finish has cured though. Beyond that basic assistance, we do not offer moving services. Our insurance doesn’t cover us for damage done if something is damaged or we are injured.

If you pop over to the Dustless System page you can read our detailed explanation of how we effectively handle dust containment.

While it is possible to stay home while we are refinishing your floors, there are a few limitations you must be aware of. Most notably, when we begin applying the finish, you’ll need to stay off the floors for at least four to eight hours—possibly more depending on what finish system is used. If we are restoring all the floors throughout your home, this could cause access issues to certain areas.

Water-based finishes have UV protection built in that slows this process down. However, no matter what type of finish you use, there will likely be some fading in areas exposed to sunlight.

A good way to slow the fade is to move around your rugs and keep your blinds closed during the sunniest part of the day. Since this isn’t always practical, we always suggest using a higher grade of finish with UV inhibitors added for floors that get direct sunlight

Good question and one you should ask any floor refinisher you are considering for your project. Years ago, certain types of oil-based finishes had a very strong smell and lots of fumes, it could linger for weeks and make it hard to deal with. There are health concerns too with breathing in some of those fumes for long periods. Thankfully here in California, those types of finishes have been banned for some time.

If someone in your home is sensitive to smells and fumes, or you have kids or pets, then either one of our finish systems will be a good choice. Both water-based and hard wax oil finishes have minimal smell. On a scale of one to five, with five having the least fumes and one having the most, both would be a five (top score) since there is next to no lingering off-gassing issues

No. There are a couple of differences. One is the thickness of the top layer of wood. Thickness of the real wood layer vary from 0.6mm to 7mm. The very thin engineered wood layers (from 0.6 to 2mm) are only a rotary peeled or sliced veneer. They can’t be re-sanded, only recoated. Anything over 3mm will be sawn wood and is able to be sanded and refinished down the road. It also looks very similar to solid wood flooring if it’s a quality product.

If you have just a few small pieces that need to be moved around, we can help you move them. You will need to find help to move them back once the finish has cured though. Beyond that basic assistance, we do not offer moving services. Our insurance doesn’t cover us for damage done if something is damaged or we are injured.
