Restore Beauty and Longevity With Hardwood Floor Refinishing

Is your hardwood floor worn, scratched, or dull? Refinishing is an excellent way to revitalize your floors and renew your home’s appearance without the cost of replacement. At Peninsula Hardwood Floors, we provide expert hardwood floor refinishing services throughout Newport News, VA, and the surrounding Peninsula area.

Our refinishing process carefully removes the top layer of damaged wood, revealing the fresh wood beneath. We then apply new stains and protective coatings tailored to your preferred color and finish, restoring vibrancy and durability.

Our Complete Refinishing Process

We follow a systematic, professional refinishing procedure designed to deliver flawless results:

Sanding

Using advanced dust-controlled sanding equipment, we remove the worn finish and surface imperfections, creating a smooth, even surface.

Repairs

Before refinishing, we fill cracks, repair minor gouges, and address imperfections to ensure an impeccable finish.

Staining

Choose from a wide selection of stain colors to either restore your floor’s original tone or create a new look that reflects your style.

Sealing and Finishing

We apply durable, high-quality sealants that protect against wear, moisture, and stains while enhancing the wood’s natural beauty.

When to Refinish Your Hardwood Floors

Knowing when to refinish can help maintain your floors in peak condition. Common signs include:

  • Visible scratches and scuffs that cleaning cannot remove
  • Areas with worn, faded, or dull finish
  • Water stains or discoloration
  • Rough or splintered areas that cause discomfort underfoot

If your floors have multiple layers of finish or have undergone several repairs, professional advice can determine whether refinishing or replacement is best.
