What You Need to Know About the Process 

All furniture in the areas where work will take place must be cleared out. Personal belongings, including wall art and décor, should also be removed to protect them from dust and debris. In most cases, this type of project is best completed when the property is unoccupied. We strongly advise making arrangements to vacate the space during the process. However, if only select rooms are being refinished, it is possible to remain in the home. At Miami Beach Wood Floors, we use low and zero VOC products, ensuring a safer refinishing experience. Unlike many other contractors who rely on high-VOC stains that release harmful chemicals and strong odors, our eco-friendly approach prioritizes the well-being of both you and your pets. To learn more about the impact of VOCs on indoor air quality, click here.

Wood floor refinishing is a complex process that inevitably produces dust. To minimize its spread, all doorways leading to other areas will be sealed with 3M protective plastics and low-tack surface tape, helping to contain fine particles within the workspace. We also offer advanced dustless refinishing systems, significantly reducing airborne dust. However, no sanding process can be entirely dust-free. After our cutting-edge sanding process, which exceeds industry standards, all surfaces in the work area will be thoroughly vacuumed and cleared before any finishing product is applied. This crucial step ensures a flawless, high-quality result.

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. 

 

That’s why we highly encourage choosing our low and zero-VOC wood floor refinishing solutions. We offer a range of eco-conscious refinishing options designed to provide a safer, healthier, and odor-free experience. Our Platinum Package is a top choice for families, featuring a completely 0-VOC formula that delivers stunning results without harmful emissions. This package includes sanding your floors down to bare wood, restoring them to a like-new appearance, and allowing you 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 

There is a wide range of stain colors available, but no two floors absorb stain the same way. Various factors, including wood species, grain pattern, and existing finishes, affect how the color develops. The most reliable way to choose the right stain is by applying test samples directly to your hardwood floor. This method provides the most accurate representation of the final look, ensuring you make the best choice for your space.

Our flooring installations are performed by highly skilled professionals who take pride in their craftsmanship. With expertise in unfinished, prefinished, and even laminate flooring, our team ensures precision and excellence in every project.
