Flooring Restoration

With Top Industry Professionals in Madison


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 Madison 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.

What Our Customers Say

Just a great experience! Steve and his crew are awesome! I would recommend using them for any flooring need. We needed a floor laid after purchasing the laminate. They were professional and very helpful. Their pricing was also very competitive and better than other quotes that we received.

Super awesome to work with! The last photo is the before!
Sally Kretsch 04/5/24 — google
Steve is great to work with. He is knowledgeable and responsive. We sought Steve out to install LVP in an upstairs unit over hardwood, and LVP tile in a small bathroom. A slight hiccup on our end w/ the LVP install project, and Steve's crew was back out within a reasonable amount of time to help us out. I'd seek out Steve's services through Footprints Floors again!

Very happy with how easy it was to work with Footprints Floors. The price was right and the install was quick. My new floors look great!
Miranda Bucalo 02/7/24 — google
I had to go back-and-forth with Steve quite a bit for what is a small (actually, it bid at their minimum price) job. The project was to lace in some leftover flooring in a hole where some counters were removed when we remodeled our kitchen. The challenges were 1) how little additional flooring we had (this specific flooring is no longer manufactured) and 2) the previous installers stapled in the prior flooring, making it very difficult to re-use old pieces. Steve was careful not to make any promises but shared optimism in his team, and his team was extremely creative in identifying an approach that worked for us and turned out great. All-in-all, they spent a lot of time and effort ensuring the project turned out as well as possible given some unique constraints -- which was all very appreciated on such a small job. Throughout the process, Steve was responsive to e-mails even as we coordinated through a couple scheduling conflicts. I'd definitely recommend if flexibility, creativity, and quality are priorities for you.

We are very happy with this company and their staff.
Loren Bowns 06/27/23 — google
Awesome service from beginning to end! They came out to do an estimate and provided helpful guidance. They worked with the supplier to order the flooring, too. The scheduling of the installation was easy and prompt— and sensitive to our schedules. The workers who did the installation did a fantastic professional job and were pleasant and courteous in their interactions. Did it all in one day when we thought it might take two days. Highly recommend!
Elizabeth Kearney 04/14/23 — google

Brian Hacker 03/13/23 — google
The crew had great work ethic and did a quality job on our floors and backsplash. They were timely with communication and got to our job very quickly. Highly recommend!
Tim Stephenson 02/28/23 — google
My husband I were very happy with their promptness and quality of their services. The crew ensured they were doing what we were looking for. We liked that Steve was present to our house before and after the vinyl tile flooring in my 2 bathrooms were concluded to ensure everything was correctly done.
