Flooring Restoration

With Top Industry Professionals in O’fallon / St. Charles County


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 O’fallon / St. Charles County 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

We've already been recommending Footprints to friends and neighbors, based on the high quality work they did on our new house. We got very good value for our money, Adam talked us through the pros and cons of each decision, took our needs and questions seriously, and kept us up-to-date on progress every step of the way.
Rachel Swihart 05/30/24 — google
I can not say enough about how pleased I am with Footprint Flooring and the crew that replaced my floors. Adam is amazingly helpful, patient and all around nice guy! He walked me through each step to take to ensure I was comfortable purchasing my flooring. But the best part of this whole experience was the two guys that did my entire floor, they were THE HARDEST WORKING, NONSTOP PROFESSIONAL CREW EVER. They had my old floors removed and replaced in two days! Highly recommend Adam and his guys!! Been showing them off to anyone I can.
Betty Dodson 05/23/24 — google
Adam and the staff at Footprints Floors were wonderful to work with. He had lots of great suggestions and was a great communicator throughout my project. His crew came and did the work and left my house clean. I would definitely recommend them!
Rick Woltman 05/22/24 — google
Easy to work with, professional ,did a wonderful job, offered options. 100% pleased with our fireplace surround.
Sue Gardner 05/10/24 — google
Adam and his team were organized and worked efficiently to complete the project, a superior performance. I now have an enhanced look to the interior of my home. Excellent craftsmanship at a competitive price.
Rick Pittman 04/8/24 — google
Adam went above and beyond to make sure everything was done right and on time. He made a couple additional trips out to the house during the planning phase to ensure the quality product he promised us. We ran into some minor wood rotting issues with the sub floor during the removal of the old tile and he scheduled an emergency appointment that evening to have his carpenter come out and fix it. John the tile guy is a skilled craftsman and did an amazing job installing our tile. Both individuals were very pleasant to work with. I’d hire them both again without hesitation.
Andy Fetsch 02/20/24 — google
Footprints Floors did a great job on my bathroom wall tile. the work was professional and very well done. Thanks
Michael Stroud 02/19/24 — google
My wife and I needed someone to replace about a dozen tiles fairly quickly and Adam was able to come the next day. He is personable, thorough and quickly gave us a reasonable quote. The work was done by John a couple of days later. John is also personable as well as very professional. The work was done in a timely manner and to our complete satisfaction. I highly recommend Footprints.

Polly Ruhland 12/27/23 — google
Adam and his crew did an incredible job installing my wood floor. I was very impressed with their professionalism. Their advice and transparent communication offered me a complete sense of comfort in the entire project. I will definitely call them again and recommend anyone interested in. New flooring doing the same. Thank you Adam and your entire crew. Steve
Steve Hardway 12/15/23 — google
The team at footprints flooring were professional, and did an amazing job! They were patient and they worked with me to understand all of my options. It was clear they were not trying to upsell me for anything I didn’t need. They offered a consultative approach during the entire buying process. When it came time to install and throughout the process, they over communicated which left my wife and I feeling incredibly Confident about the process. When the installers arrived, they were professional, and left my home Clean and complete! I would use footprints flooring again as soon as I need flooring installed!
Adam Mitchem 11/7/23 — google
Everyone was great to work with. They asked questions to make sure tile was going in right. Adam made sure everything was great
Barb Knehans 09/2/23 — Ninthroot
Terrific service. We had Adam come (not sure if there are other people to come for estimates) and he was so helpful for all of our questions and curiosities. He took time to work up multiple quotes for us, thoroughly looked at all the floors, explained everything, etc. he wasn't seeming annoyed that we kept him probably longer than he expected, nor annoyed that we had multiple quote requests. He knew saving money was important to us and walked us through all of our options of various costs. Ultimately, the responsiveness and respect for our budget made our decision very easy to choose this company. The workers were EXTREMELY fast and kind. They helped my husband fix our vent registers and such. I can't say enough positive things about working with this team! We would hire them again immediately for any other flooring concerns. Pictured is our new Cortec stone!
Valerie Weise 08/21/23 — google
Adam and his team did a fantastic job. Our home had some challenges to address due to being an older home and they were creative in fixing the issues. Our home looks like new with the luxury vinyl flooring. They did the entire main level in 3 days (removing old, prep, and installation of new). All of the crew members were kind and professional and respectful. Adam was very patient with all of my questions with the process and with floor selection. I highly recommend them.
Tammy Braun 07/22/23 — google
This was the best experience I've ever had with a home improvement professional. The project came in on time and on budget. Adam Muise (and Karsen) was highly responsive - hands on but never in the way, always touching base. Transparent communication on costs. Julio and his crew were clearly experienced. I'm thrilled with the work and the products. I definitely recommend!
Linda McCartney 06/27/23 — google
From the initial consultation with Adam I noticed a difference in the professionalism and attention to detail that was lacking from others. Adam has been very responsive to questions and checking in on progress, ensuring high-quality work. The work was completed within two weeks of the initial consultation. No one came close to matching that timeframe. Gustav did a beautiful job installing the kitchen backsplash and bathroom tile floor. Everything was cleaned up and disposed of leaving nothing behind. I would HIGHLY recommend Footprints Floors!!!
Cathy Brown 06/6/23 — google
Adam and his crew were so wonderful to work with! They were always on time, very quick to answer questions, and my floors are perfect! The workers worked very efficiently, cleaned up after them selves, and always asked if I was satisfied with the work they accomplished each day. Adam would even provide me with other resources that weren't part of this job, such as helping me figure out how to replace my stair railing.
Sara Childers 05/12/23 — google
I would recommend this team as they did a fantastic job, removed the old tile and installed the new tile. the bathroom looks great. it was all completed quickly.
