Flooring Restoration

With Top Industry Professionals in Cincinnati


Even if you take great care of your hardwood floors, cleaning and polishing them regularly, years of wear and tear take their toll. Or, perhaps you’ve moved recently into an older home with hardwood floors that need more than just dusting and polishing. Either way - it’s time to refinish or restore your floors.

Flooring restoration is a lengthy and laborious process involving sanding, patching, staining and top coating. Even if you’re an accomplished DIY-er, this is not your average weekend project and is best left to the professionals. Ways to mess up your floors lurk at every step of the project.

Common Mistakes Include Uneven Sanding


A drum sander, the most common tool used for this part of refinishing floors, can be rented from most hardware stores. This large piece of equipment weighs a ton and creates a lot of noise and dust. For someone with no experience, wrangling this machine is extremely difficult and can result in scraping away too many layers of wood in spots, leaving sander-shaped impressions across your hardwood floor. They also don’t do a great job in corners and other hard to reach areas. Odd angles and uneven sanding can lead to gouges in your floor. Footprints Floors contractors are highly skilled and have more powerful, higher-quality equipment to sand floors beautifully and evenly.

Common Mistakes Include Dust


That never-ending nemesis, dust. Sanding floors creates a lot of dust particles that have to be meticulously cleaned before proceeding to next steps. If you fail to remove all those little dust specks before staining and finishing your floors, those teeny tiny bits of wood or lacquer will get trapped under the finish, ruining the smooth look you’re after. Footprints Floors contractors have the eye for detail and dedication you need to make sure your floors are dust free before anything else is applied.

Common Mistakes Include Bad Application of Stain and/or Finish


Footprints Floors has access to a wider range of products for stains and finishes than you’ll find at your local hardware store. Not only more color and style options, but higher quality formulas that last longer, dry faster and frankly look better. In addition to using high quality products on your floors, Footprints Floors contractors are trained in the best techniques for applying stains and finishes. A common problem seen in DIY flooring restoration is peeling finish. Other rookie mistakes include applying too many layers of finish without letting it dry in between applications. Instead of the sleek, shiny floors of your dreams, poorly finished floors will quickly look dull, dirty and potentially damaged.

Benefits Of Restoring Hardwood Floors


Over time, hardwood floors can tarnish and show their age. Replacing hardwood floors can be expensive, and your antique floors can become worth a lot if you take care of them. In that case, refinishing may be a better alternative to replacing your hardwood altogether.

Cost-Effective

Even if you hire professionals like Footprints Floors, refinishing hardwood floors typically ends up costing quite a bit less than installing new hardwood.

Increased Home Value

Solid wood floors are greatly appealing to potential buyers, and taking care of your floors with antique floor refinishing in Cincinnati is a great way to preserve and add value to your home.

Increased Safety

Damaged floors aren't just an eyesore, they can also bring some big safety concerns. Splinters in the feet, for example, aren't comfortable and could get infected. Antique floors can also be uneven, which may lead to tripping or falls.

Ward Off Pests

Did you know the craters, small holes and crevices that can appear in hardwood floors are a bug's best friend? Termites, ants and decay can wreak havoc on your floors, but regularly refinishing them can seal off bugs and other issues.

I had an excellent experience with this company. Mike provided clear explanations of my options and guided me through the floor refinishing process with expertise. The crew that handled the job was exceptionally professional and went above and beyond in cleaning up the site afterward. I would absolutely recommend this company, and I plan to enlist their services again for the remaining floors in my house.

Mike and his team were awesome - easy to work with and did a beautiful job. After discussing the project with a few potential partners, Footsteps instilled a high-level of confidence at the right price point and I wasn't disappointed.

We love our new floors and would highly recommend this company!

Mike and his crew did an amazing job laying down vinyl flooring in our garage loft. Mike was extremely helpful in helping us select the correct product for the space and ensuring the area was properly prepped for optimal install and durability. The best you can ask for when hiring a professional is punctuality, respect of your property, reasonable pricing and high quality work. This was our experience with Footprints Floors and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone!

After contacting Footprints Floors, Mike responded quickly with a very fair quote for screening and recoating our hardwood floor. They were able to complete the project within a few days of our initial call and we couldn't be happier with the finished results! I won't hesitate to use Footprints Floors in the future and highly recommend them if you are looking for someone to recoat or refinish your hardwood.
Merri Purdy 02/12/24 — google
Mike and his team were great to work with and the final product exceeded our expectations. They refinished the floors in my wife’s salon the week between Christmas and New Year’s. We had a very specific timeline that had to be met and they pulled it off with no problems. The communication with Mike was excellent and the workmanship was an A plus. I would highly recommend Footprints Cincinnati!
John Mitchell 01/19/24 — google
Had hardwood floors resurfaced and then added in new flooring to replace existing carpet. Mike and his team did a fantastic job. We did this before moving in and they communicated daily with pics and did everything they said they would. Highly recommend their service

Excellent experience, highly recommend. Mike was friendly, helpful, and answered any questions I had. The crew was also very friendly and did an excellent job. They removed carpet that was on existing hardwood floors in a hundred year old house and refinished them. The floors look amazing!
Melanie Atkinson 11/27/23 — google
Excellent job refinishing an entry hall and laying a new floor in the living room. In completing the living room floor, Footprints needed to match an existing wooden floor. I can’t tell where the existing floor ends and the new floor begins, they did such a good job. They were timely, the job was completed when they promised. They deserve a 5 star rating
Susan Nerska 11/18/23 — google

Mike and his team are true professionals! The work they did is magnificent and the care they took to protect my furniture, walls, etc. was much appreciated! They kept us informed of status of the floors along the way, and started and completed as promised. I would have given them 10 stars if that was an option!!
Terri Wallace 03/31/23 — google
Mike and his crew did an incredible job from start to finish. The project started a year ago when they came and quoted a job for me. I did not get it done then but was able to make it work a year later. He was able to be flexible on pricing and was honest, helpful and always on-time. I look forward to using Footprint again in the future.
