COMMON HARDWOOD FLOOR QUESTIONS
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SANDING & REFINISHING AND INSTALLING NEW FLOORS?
Sanding and refinishing restores your existing hardwood floors. This process removes wear, smooths the surface, and applies a new finish. Installation is used when adding new hardwood flooring or replacing non-wood flooring.
HOW DO I KNOW IF MY FLOORS NEED REFINISHING?
Signs include worn areas, dull finish, scratches, and visible traffic patterns. High-traffic areas often wear faster than the edges of the room.
CAN YOU CHANGE THE COLOR OF MY FLOORS?
Yes. During refinishing, stain colors can be changed. This allows homeowners to update the appearance of their floors.
CAN YOU MATCH NEW WOOD TO MY EXISTING FLOORS?
In many cases, yes. Matching depends on wood species, age, and availability. While close matches are often possible, exact matches may vary.
DO YOU INSTALL FLOORING OTHER THAN WOOD?
No. Don Hanna Wood Floors specializes exclusively in hardwood flooring. They do not install laminate, vinyl, tile, or carpet.
DO YOU OFFER FREE QUOTES?

HARDWOOD FLOOR MAINTENANCE QUESTIONS
Answers to common questions about caring for your hardwood floors after refinishing.
HOW DO I MAINTAIN MY HARDWOOD FLOORS AFTER REFINISHING?
Hardwood floors are low-maintenance. Regular sweeping and gentle cleaning help protect the finish. Avoid excess water and harsh chemicals.
SHOULD I USE WAX ON MY HARDWOOD FLOORS?
No. Wax products can interfere with finishes and make future refinishing more difficult. Use recommended wood floor cleaners instead.
HOW LONG DO HARDWOOD FLOORS LAST?
With proper care, hardwood floors can last for decades. Refinishing helps extend their lifespan.
CAN SCRATCHES BE REPAIRED?
Minor scratches can often be improved during refinishing. More serious damage may require repair or patching.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD FLOORS BE REFINISHED?
This depends on wear and traffic. Many floors need refinishing every 7–15 years, depending on use.
HOW CAN I PROTECT MY HARDWOOD FLOORS?
Use felt pads on furniture, place rugs in high-traffic areas, sweep regularly, avoid excessive moisture, and use proper cleaning products.
