Give Dull Floors New Life

With Top Industry Professionals in Atlanta


All flooring requires maintenance to continue looking nice, especially hardwood floors. But even if you take great care of your hardwood floors, they may lose their sheen over time. Whether your hardwood floors are starting to look dull or you’re just looking for tips to prevent them from becoming dull, you’ve come to the right place.

Protect and Maintain

So how do you fix a dull floor in Atlanta? Preventing damage is the first step. Here are some ideas for protecting your hardwood floors:

  • Protect them from sunlight. Hardwood floors are sensitive to sunlight. Areas where your floors are exposed to sun will likely fade over time. You can avoid some of this impact with help from throw rugs, blinds or curtains. For an even longer–term solution, consider strategically planting trees or bushes to give your home a bit more shade. You could also install UV–resistant or tinted windows.
  • Remove shoes. High heels are particularly good at scratching through hardwood finishes. Pet nails can also be damaging, so keep pet nails trimmed to protect your floors.
  • Clean the right way. First, sweep or vacuum your floors before applying a wet mop to remove any grit. Then make sure you're using the right cleaner. Products you use on other floorings may strip your floors of their finishes and harm the wood rather than clean it. Finally, don't overdo it on the cleaner—using too much cleaner, even if it's meant for hardwood floors, can make them look dull.

With careful maintenance and attention, a little can go a long way in preserving the beauty of your hardwood flooring.

Refinish and Repair


Unfortunately, protection and maintenance aren't always the answer to how do you fix a dull floor. Even the best–kept floors will likely need special attention over time. When cleaning no longer gets the job done, your floors may need to be refinished or repaired.

Refinish

Refinishing helps give your floors a new life and goes a long way to prevent damage that is far more expensive to repair. The process involves sanding away imperfections and applying a new finish. Although it sounds simple, many things can go wrong during refinishing. You may sand one part of the floor too much, damaging it and making it look uneven, or improperly apply a finish.

Repair

More extensive damage to floors, such as deep gouges, cannot simply be refinished. Instead, they may require either repair or replacement.

What Our Customers Say

Kevin was quick to respond and communicated well, checking in on the progress prior to the tiling and then checked in, in person, each day the tilers were here. Excellent craftsmanship and professionalism. He was also able to recommend a great plumber who had amazing availability and would also recommend him. We are very happy with the work!

Tammie Hudson 04/29/24 — google
We were looking for a company to redo our wood floors. After getting a couple estimates, what made us go Footprints, was Kevin. He took the time to come and explain the process and made us feel very confident that we made the right choice. We could have used a cheaper option, but working with Footprints felt right. When we gave Footprints the go ahead, the service from the entire time was excellent. Workers showed up on time and worked non stop for 2 days until everything was done. They also do not make a mess. Lastly, being able to talk to the owner goes a long way. Keep up the good work Kevin and the Footprints team.

Excellent contractor. Returns calls and provides 5 star service. The workmanship was beautiful. The couple that did my installation were hardworking and left my kitchen cleaner than it was before. I am very picky and was pleasantly surprised at the outcome. They exceeded my expectations.

Kevin and his crew did an outstanding job! My kitchen needed refinishing and the adjoining den had new hardwood installed.

This company is beyond topnotch! Kevin (owner) helped me with a huge project at the school where I work. It was BIG and required research, tons of knowledge and skill and a lot of patience. I can't type it all here, but Kevin and his team do work of outstanding quality and really care about working with you to get everything done the right way. I can't say enough nice things about the whole process and how hard Kevin worked to make sure we were ready for our new floors, planned it even over the holidays to make it the best situation for our students. The work is BEAUTIFUL, too. Highly recommend!
