Essential Information About the Refinishing Process
Creating the ideal workspace is essential for a smooth refinishing process. Before work begins, all furniture must be removed from the areas where refinishing will take place to allow for unrestricted access. Any wall art, décor, and personal items in the work area should also be cleared to prevent damage and dust exposure. Refinishing is typically completed while the home is unoccupied, and we highly recommend making arrangements to vacate the premises for the duration of the work. If you choose to remain in your residence while only refinishing certain rooms, we can tailor the process to minimize disruption while still delivering exceptional results. This is because we specialize in low and zero VOC products. Unlike many wood flooring contractors who use traditional stains containing harsh chemicals, our process prioritizes health and safety by avoiding materials that release harmful airborne toxins and strong, lingering odors. To read more about the dangers of VOC to your family and pets, click here.
Achieving a flawless hardwood floor finish requires careful preparation and dust control throughout the refinishing process. To minimize dust spread, we use 3M protective plastics and precision surface tapes to seal off surrounding areas, keeping dust contained within the workspace.
At Miami Beach Wood Floors, we utilize cutting-edge dustless refinishing technology, significantly reducing airborne particles for a cleaner and healthier process. While no refinishing method is entirely dust-free, our advanced sanding system exceeds industry standards, ensuring minimal disruption. Once sanding is complete, we thoroughly vacuum and clear all surfaces before applying any finishes, ensuring a flawless result that enhances the beauty and longevity of your floors.

If you desire to have your floors stained with traditional stains, the fumes are extremely toxic and force our team to use masks that filter those chemicals. Your family, your pets, and yourself have to be off the premise for at least 48 hours after the stain is applied. Prepare to make arrangements to sleep outside the residence for 48 to 72 hours depending on the size of your project. The fumes from traditional stains are hazardous to humans, and your pets.
For a healthier and more sustainable approach to wood floor restoration, we highly recommend our low and zero VOC wood floor refinishing systems. One of our most popular choices, the Platinum package, is a 0-VOC, eco-friendly refinishing solution designed for families and those seeking a green alternative. This package includes sanding floors down to bare wood, restoring them to a like-new condition, and the option to select a premium stain color that complements your space’s aesthetic.

After we are done drying time depends on the product we use, if it is water-based or oil-based. We will advise you on what is best for your floor. Be informed there are pros and cons for each of the products. Expect anything from 4 hours to 24 hours before stepping on the floor again.
Hardwood Floor Stain Colors
Selecting the perfect stain for your hardwood floors is essential, as each wood species absorbs color uniquely due to its grain pattern, texture, and natural characteristics. To ensure the most accurate result, we recommend applying stain samples directly to your floors, allowing you to see how the color interacts with the wood in your space before making a final decision.
