Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing the right hardwood flooring service can bring up questions about installation, refinishing, repairs, restoration, and cost. Explore our frequently asked questions to learn more about your options and what to expect when working with Daniel Caffo Hardwood Flooring.
How much does professional hardwood floor installation typically cost?
The cost of hardwood floor installation depends on the size of the space, type of hardwood selected, condition of the subfloor, installation method, and preparation required. Solid and engineered hardwood can also have different material and installation requirements. We evaluate each project individually and provide a free estimate based on the specific needs of your home or business.
How much does hardwood floor refinishing typically cost?
Refinishing costs vary depending on the square footage, condition of the existing flooring, repairs needed, sanding requirements, and type of finish selected. Floors that require extensive repairs or restoration may involve additional work before refinishing can begin. We can evaluate your existing hardwood floors and provide an estimate based on the work needed to properly restore them.
Is it better to refinish hardwood floors or replace them?
If your existing hardwood is structurally sound, refinishing may be an excellent way to restore its appearance without replacing the entire floor. Scratches, worn finishes, dullness, and certain types of surface damage can often be addressed through refinishing. If the flooring has extensive structural damage or deterioration, replacement may be more appropriate. We provide refinishing, repair, installation, and historical restoration, so we can evaluate your floors and recommend an option based on their condition.
How do I know if my hardwood floors can be refinished?
Hardwood floors with scratches, discoloration, worn finishes, dull areas, or other surface wear may be candidates for refinishing. The construction, thickness, age, previous refinishing, and overall condition of the flooring also need to be considered. We can inspect your floors to determine whether refinishing, repair, restoration, or replacement is the most appropriate approach.
How long does professional hardwood floor refinishing take?
The timeline depends on the size and condition of the floor, repairs required, sanding and preparation, finishing products, and necessary drying or curing time. A straightforward refinishing project may take less time than a larger restoration involving damaged or historic flooring. We evaluate the scope of the work beforehand so we can give you a better understanding of what to expect from your particular project.
Can damaged hardwood flooring be repaired without replacing the entire floor?
In many cases, yes. Depending on the damage, we may be able to repair individual areas or replace specific boards without removing the entire hardwood floor. We work with issues including damaged, cracked, splintered, and deteriorated flooring and make every effort to create repairs that blend appropriately with the surrounding wood.
