  • What can I do to prepare for the day my floors are going to be sanded?

    To prepare for floor sanding, we recommend taking several steps. First, ensure your pets are safely relocated to avoid exposure to chemicals or noise. Next, if necessary, carefully remove existing flooring without damaging the underlying wood. Clear all furniture from the room to be sanded. If the space connects to other areas, hang plastic sheeting to contain dust. Lastly, maintain a consistent indoor climate by keeping your HVAC system operational. These preparations will contribute to a more efficient and effective sanding process.
  • How long do I have to wait to walk on my hardwood floor?

    The waiting time depends on the type of flooring. For prefinished floors, you can walk on them immediately after installation. If you have site-finished floors, light foot traffic is typically acceptable after 2-3 hours. However, we advise waiting at least 48 hours before moving furniture back into the room. For area rugs, it's best to wait a full week before placing them on your newly finished flooring.
