For many homeowners, a simple, quick look at the hardwood floor should dictate the need for a Floor Refinishing. Some people in this category can easily see the need. But, what about everyone else? For anyone who has had their hardwood flooring between one year and five years has the decision to make. They want to make sure the Floor Refinishing is worth it, and they get the most out of the job. But, the decision to get a new finishing brings forward a price tag and some inconveniences. Families should assess what they are going to have to put aside for a few days in order to see completely revamped flooring.
Who Uses the Room?
The room that is being refinished will be generally off-limits. The living room is a common place to have hardwood flooring. How much activity occurs in the living room? If hours of the day are spent in the living room, it may be best to leave the home for a few days. This is because the living room will be sectioned off entirely. For liability reasons, the team at New York Wood Flooring may cut off the majority of the room while the project is being completed. For a family who uses the living room extensively, it may be a problem. It comes down to the children as well. Kids who have a hard time staying out of the living room could pose a problem.
Changes in Behavior
A hardwood flooring refinishing is being done because of wear-and-tear on the floor. A refinishing is worth it even more if there is a conscious attempt to be a little more careful. For example, children may come in with their shoes on. That has degraded the quality of the wood. A refinishing would not be worth it (as much, at least) if all behavior was the same.
It may be smart to enforce a new rule for the child that includes taking their shoes off at the door. The flooring will last longer, and the job is more worth pursuing. Hardwood flooring is gorgeous, but it is anything but after being warped and degraded. Get it back to high-quality, but consider what it will take to accomplish that goal.
