From Footprints Floors

If you're moving into a home with older hardwood floors, you may find some scratches or wear on them that you want to fix. Even though this natural patina can have a beautiful look, it's still important to keep your hardwood looking good and well-maintained. A great way to do so is through floor refinishing.

Antique hardwood floor refinishing near you in Akron / Canton doesn't have to be difficult. Although you can do it yourself, hiring professional restoration experts from Footprints Floors is a great way to ensure your timeless floors are taken care of and restored to their original glory.

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 near you 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.

Should I Replace or Refinish
My Hardwood Flooring?

When considering an antique hardwood flooring restoration, you may wonder if it's worth the hassle or just better to replace them with new floors altogether.

The decision is ultimately yours, and you can't really go wrong with either choice. Refinishing your floors, however, doesn't have to be the messy process many make it out to be. It also can be a more budget friendly option for those looking to give their existing flooring a sparking new finish.

What To Consider Before Restoring Hardwood Floors

Hardwood floor restoration can be a great way to elevate the look of your home. However, it shouldn't be attempted or done without adequate research and consideration. If you're thinking about going this route, consider the following factors:

Time


Refinishing your hardwood floors isn't a one-day project. After sanding your floors, you will also need to seal them. This sealer will need to be set for at least 24 hours before it's safe to put furniture back into the room. You might not be able to complete it in a day, but refinishing your floors is a doable weekend project if you plan it right.

Equipment


A professional grade sander will be needed for your refinishing project. It's probably not an item you'll want to buy just for a one-time use. Many hardware stores rent these out, or you can contact professionals like those at Footprints Floors to do all the work and have the equipment you need.

Cost


The cost of refinishing hardwood is dependent on a few factors, including the size of the room and sealer needed. For the average cost of a wood floor to be refinished by professionals, it's always best to get a quote to better understand your project.

When my wife and I decide to refinish the wooden floor last Ictiber if 2023, we google it to look for the vendors and find the pricing and timing. One of the vendors caught my attention is that lead time and the hours to get it done is longer for our 1100 square feet wooden floor than the others which are shorter. The company name is Footprints of NE Ohio. I took a chance to pick this company on Nov 13,2023 and arranged to get it started on Jan 24,this year. They did show up on time and start to strip the floor the first day. They did remove refrigerator, range/oven and piano to get every corner that have wooden floor. Every day the owner Mike show up and make sure the work is done smoothly and correctly. After two weeks of meticulous and detailed work, it finally done on Feb 6. The wooden floor is fabulous, so beautiful and look like a new wooden floor we just installed. The workmanship is fantastic and owner mike’s devotion to customer satisfaction is admirable. I am very happy to choose the right company and would recommend very highly of their work. Needless to say I would give 5 star rating for this review.

Mike and his son treated me and my home with respect and kindness. They were prompt, neat, and knew what they were doing. I have a gorgeous new backsplash.

Absolute pleasure to work with Mike and his employee.Our home is over 130 years old so preserving our floors and bringing them back to life I was thinking was going to be nearly impossible, or if we were lucky they’d look “a little better.” Well we were blown away at the beautiful work that was done! It is amazing! It is my honor to recommend them to anyone!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Mike and Footprint Floors to refinish our red oak floors in a stunning walnut finish and install new hardwood in our foyer. The entire experience with this company has been nothing short of exceptional. From the initial consultation to the completion of the project, they demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a commitment to delivering high-quality results. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship exceeded our expectations. The color is exactly what we envisioned, and the finish is flawless. The installation of new hardwood in our landing seamlessly blends with the existing floors, creating a cohesive and visually appealing look throughout our home. Not only did Mike and his team showcase top-notch skills, but they also completed the project within the agreed-upon timeline. The entire crew was courteous, punctual, and respectful of our home. Since the completion of the project, our floors have become a focal point of admiration for guests. We've received multiple compliments on the quality of workmanship and the overall aesthetic appeal of our revamped floors.

Mike and his team completely refinished the floors in our house (1047 square feet) over the last two weeks (yes, during the holidays!). Our results are nothing short of stunning! The original floors are 55 years old and while they were in good condition we wanted them to be refinished. Mike kept my sister and I in the loop of what was going on every day (I live in Florida and the house and my sister is in Ohio) and he sent me frequent pictures of the progress. If there was a question of how to proceed, he was quick to ask and have it resolved without any work related delays. The attention to detail shown by the staff was amazing! The results far exceeded what I expected but the level of customer service that was provided throughout the process was priceless considering I was 1000 miles away. I highly recommend Footprint Floors of Northeast Ohio for all of your flooring needs. To be fair, once we contacted Mike, we had to wait to be scheduled but the wait was well worth it. While our wait was only a few weeks, after having seen the quality of the end product and the amount of care and service Mike provides, I would recommend anyone considering Footprints Floors of Northeast Ohio wait whatever amount of time is required to be scheduled. You will be very glad you did. David M. Heil Laurel Hill, Florida

We have used Mike Goff and Footprints Floors twice now, first for a luxury vinyl plank floor on our lower level, and just recently for a complete hardwood floor refinish in the rest of the house. He and his crew have been nothing but professional, thorough, friendly, and holding themselves to a high standard of quality. For floors over 60 years old they look like they were put in yesterday. Would not hesitate to recommend them for any flooring projects.

Great company! Mike and his team did an amazing job! Super high quality installation!
Tim Frank 12/1/23 — google
Mike Goff with Footprint floors deserves all 5 stars. After meeting a few vendors Mike was a standout choice. Mike provided us options and was very detail oriented from start to finish. Our project used a pre fished wood and some custom made steps from Mike to match our existing hardwoods. Mike put a lot of time and effort into making sure our floors came out perfect. Very personable, respectful, and experienced in his field. Thank you to Mike & Footprint Floors!

After getting quotes for refinishing my distressed hardwood floors from a few contractors, including one who wanted to cover the whole thing with laminate, I ended up going with Footprint Floors. I'm very happy with this choice. Mike and his team did an amazing job refinishing my hardwood floors and I could not be happier with the end result.
Adam Davis 11/30/23 — google

Kathy Bush 11/18/23 — google
I would HIGHLY recommend Footprint Floors. I had a dishwasher that leaked causing the engineered hardwood to buckle in front of it. They responded to my request for a repair estimate quickly. Mike the owner was able to repair it at a very reasonable price and was able to do the repair the same day he came out to take a look at it. He is a great guy, very pleasant to work with. I looks beautiful, did an excellent job. Always happy to support a small business.

Had a great experience with Footprints. Just had new rigid plank vinyl flooring installed in my living room and hallway and Mike was great to work with from start to finish; from taking measurements, to providing a quote quickly and getting me on their schedule. Dave and Jess did an amazing job installing the floors and Mike did the final touches. Will definitely be using Footprints for any future flooring projects.
