Essential Insights Into the Refinishing Process
All furniture must be cleared from the work area before the project begins, along with any wall art and personal belongings. This type of work is typically completed while the home is vacant, and we strongly recommend making arrangements to leave during the process. However, if you choose to remain in the residence and only refinish a few rooms, we can accommodate that with proper planning. This is because at Miami Beach Wood Floors, we specialize in low and zero VOC products. This is different from most wood flooring contractor as they use chemicals when staining floors that expel hazardous material into the air and strong, unpleasant, odors. To read more about the dangers of VOC to your family and pets, click here.
Achieving a flawless wood floor finish requires careful dust management throughout the refinishing process. To minimize its impact, we use 3M protective plastics and delicate surface tapes to seal off work areas, ensuring dust remains contained. Our advanced dustless refinishing technology significantly reduces airborne particles, creating a cleaner workspace. While no refinishing project can be entirely dust-free, our state-of-the-art sanding process exceeds industry standards for precision and cleanliness. Once sanding is complete, we thoroughly vacuum and clear all surfaces before applying any finishes. This essential step guarantees a flawless, long-lasting result that enhances the beauty and durability of your floors.

Traditional wood stains emit strong fumes that require our team to use specialized protective masks during application. To ensure a safe environment, you, your family, and pets must vacate the property for at least 48 hours after staining. Larger projects may require up to 72 hours for proper ventilation before it is safe to return. These fumes can be hazardous, so planning ahead for temporary accommodations is essential for a smooth and safe refinishing process.
For this reason, we strongly recommend using our low and zero VOC wood floor refinishing systems. We offer several green friendly wood floor refinishing packages. The Platinum package is a Family Favorite, Eco-Friendly, and is 0-VOC. This package includes sanding floors bare, restoring them to New-Like condition, the ability to choose color stain from Platinum Package that best suits your spaces style.

Drying time isn’t just a waiting game—it’s the difference between a flawless finish and a premature failure. Water-based finishes dry within 4 to 6 hours, while oil-based options demand up to 24 hours before they can handle foot traffic. Each has its strengths; one prioritizes speed, the other durability. We guide you in selecting the best finish for your floors, ensuring longevity, beauty, and performance.
Selecting the Perfect Hardwood Floor Stain
Choosing the right stain color isn’t guesswork—it’s precision. Every wood species absorbs stain differently, influenced by grain, texture, and natural undertones. The only way to get it right? Apply samples directly onto your floor. This eliminates surprises and guarantees that the final color enhances your space exactly as envisioned.
