Are you wondering how to make your hardwood floors look better? Hardwood floors can go through a lot of wear and tear throughout their lifetime. They may not look the way that you would like them to look. If you’re noticing discoloration, scratches, or a scuffed, worn-out appearance, refinishing can restore the look of your hardwood floors. If you want to change your floors to a deeper and richer tone or if the finish has faded in spots or across the entire surface, refinishing can handle the job.
It can be difficult to envision refinishing making a significant difference to the floors in your home, but we assure you that it can make a huge difference to the look of your home! Before you begin, though, you might have some questions. At N-Hance® of Fort Wayne, we can provide the answers that you need. Our Grabill area experts are ready to help you with anything that you need during your wood floor refinishing process. Below are some of the most frequent questions that have been asked about our process and our responses.
How Much Does Hardwood Floor Refinishing Cost?
Cost can vary quite a bit depending on the condition of your floors, the size of floor you need to be worked on, whether they require some minor patching or serious repair, and even the type of wood your floors have. In addition, prices can vary across the country based on labor and material costs, so your price will be specific to the Grabill, IN area.

We can also explain our options and discuss the timeframe, so you know what to expect and can make an informed choice.
How Long will the New Finish Last?
Lifespan will depend on how you use your floors. If you have a home full of kids and pets, your hardwood floors are going to endure a lot more wear and tear than if you’re a retiree or live alone. Likewise, how well and often you clean and maintain your floors also plays a part in the overall lifespan.

Is it Better to Hire a Pro to Handle Hardwood Floor Refinishing or Do It Myself?
If you have experience with hardwood floor refinishing and the time to tackle the job, it might be worth considering a DIY approach. However, if you want impeccable results and don’t have the technical know-how or easy access to the right products and equipment, it can lead to a big mess and expensive damage.
There are pros and cons to finishing your hardwood floors by yourself. If you have the time, technical know-how, or access to products, then refinishing them yourself might be the better option. However, our professionals in the Grabill area have the expertise to get the job right for you!
It’s why we always recommend calling N-Hance and talking to us about the cost, our approach, and how we make hardwood floor refinishing easy. Our consultations are free and there’s no obligation.
When is the Right Time to Refinish My Floors?
One of the hardest parts of refinishing a floor is knowing when the right time is to get it done. There are a few ways to tell that it’s time to refinish your floors beyond the obvious signs of damage and wear.
One way is to drop a couple of beads of water on the floor and observe whether they get soaked into the floor within a few minutes. If so, it’s time to refinish. The job of finish is to protect the surface of the wood, so if water is soaking into the floors, it’s not doing its job. If you wait to replace your finish, it can lead to even more damage and a more expensive refinishing job as a result.
If your floors are uneven or warped, it’s time to call in a professional. At N-Hance we can handle anything from basic refinishing jobs all the way up to complex ones. Hardwood restoration can help when you have deep scratches and impressions that need replacing on multiple pieces of wood.
If there is water damage in certain areas, the boards can separate which can take longer to fix. In many cases, however, we can bring your floors back to life without having to replace them.
Can N-Hance Refinish Floors Made from Bamboo or Another Non-Traditional Wood?
Yes, we can restore the finish on non-sandable floors, such as cork or bamboo. We can also work on engineered floors, hand-scraped floors, distressed hardwood, and floors sanded down to tongue and groove.
We have extensive experience when it comes to restoring wood floors of all kinds and in many conditions. If you call us, we can give you more details and a price quote, so you know what to expect.
