National Floors provides professional hardwood floor refinishing, sanding, staining, repair and restoration in Livermore and Pleasanton, California. Hardwood floors can remain structurally sound long after their color, sheen or overall appearance begins to make a home look dated.
Refinishing provides an opportunity to do much more than remove scratches. Existing hardwood can often be sanded back to clean wood, repaired where necessary and given a completely different appearance through stain, natural finishing and the choice of finish sheen.

- Hardwood floor repairs can address damaged or missing boards before refinishing.
- Custom staining can dramatically change the appearance of existing hardwood.
- Professional-grade finishes protect the restored surface and provide a choice of sheen.

Updating a Dated Hardwood Floor Without Replacing It
Sometimes there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the hardwood itself. The problem is simply that its appearance belongs to another era of the home.
An older stain color, ambered finish, high sheen or years of natural color change can make otherwise good hardwood look dated next to newer cabinetry, paint, countertops and furnishings. If the flooring remains suitable for sanding, refinishing allows homeowners to update the floor without discarding usable hardwood.
The transformation can be substantial. Removing the old coating exposes the actual wood beneath it and creates a new starting point. A floor that once looked like a reason to consider replacement can become an important part of an updated interior.
Changing the Color of Existing Hardwood
Refinishing gives Livermore and Pleasanton homeowners an opportunity to keep their existing hardwood while substantially changing its appearance. Depending on the species, an older golden, orange, reddish or dark floor can often be changed to something quite different.
Oak provides considerable flexibility and accepts a broad range of stain colors. Keeping the hardwood closer to its natural appearance is also an option and can produce a dramatic change after an older stain and finish have been removed.
Stain selection involves more than choosing a color from a chart. Hardwood species, grain, natural color, previous repairs, replacement boards and lighting within the home can all influence the result. For that reason, we prefer to evaluate stain choices on the actual flooring.

Repairs Before Refinishing
Existing hardwood sometimes contains damaged boards, pet stains, water damage, previous repairs or replacement material that differs from the surrounding floor. These conditions should be evaluated before sanding and before the final stain color is selected.
When localized repairs are appropriate, completing them before the larger floor is refinished allows the new and existing hardwood to be sanded and finished together. Species, board width, thickness, grain and natural color all influence how successfully replacement material integrates with the surrounding floor.

Changing the appearance of existing hardwood requires more than choosing a stain color. The condition of the floor, hardwood species, previous sanding, repairs, natural color and finish system all influence what can realistically be achieved.
