Flooring Restoration

With Top Industry Professionals in Hickory / Gastonia


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 Hickory / Gastonia 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.

Footprints Floors did an excellent job on our flooring. We had a huge project (over 1000 square ft) and it took them three days. They were fast and also took pride in their work! Thank you Ini and your team for making my vision come to life.
Brittany Huggins 04/25/24 — google
My husband and I had Footprints Floors Hickory/Gastonia to put hardwood floors down in our entire house. We were a bit nervous at first because we thought that having to move furniture and rip up carpet was going to be too big of a job for anyone. The owner and his crew were amazingly professional! Their work was outstanding and we have no complaints. We would highly recommend this company for ANY flooring needs that you may have.

Ini helped me to take my Kickboxing Studio to the NEXT level! He was very helpful throughout the entire process from seeing my vision and helping me accomplish the goal. Ini came out and inspected the job and gave valuable insight into how things should be done correctly for a great finish and also a long lasting impact. He helped me get the specific materials I wanted for the aesthetic and made it work with my schedule. The job itself was done quickly and efficiently and allowed me to keep regular hours for my members. Footprints Floors provided a great service at a fair price. I highly recommend!

Dottie Lineberger 07/13/23 — google
From start to finish, this was a professional company who worked with me to refinish our stairs. The original stain was too 'orange'. They color and finished matched to perfection. They were on time for both estimate and work. Was able to work in our time table. HIGHLY recommend.
