Flooring Restoration

With Top Industry Professionals in Columbus


Even if you take great care of your hardwood floors, cleaning and polishing them regularly, years of wear and tear take their toll. Or, perhaps you’ve moved recently into an older home with hardwood floors that need more than just dusting and polishing. Either way - it’s time to refinish or restore your floors.

Flooring restoration is a lengthy and laborious process involving sanding, patching, staining and top coating. Even if you’re an accomplished DIY-er, this is not your average weekend project and is best left to the professionals. Ways to mess up your floors lurk at every step of the project.

Common Mistakes Include Uneven Sanding


A drum sander, the most common tool used for this part of refinishing floors, can be rented from most hardware stores. This large piece of equipment weighs a ton and creates a lot of noise and dust. For someone with no experience, wrangling this machine is extremely difficult and can result in scraping away too many layers of wood in spots, leaving sander-shaped impressions across your hardwood floor. They also don’t do a great job in corners and other hard to reach areas. Odd angles and uneven sanding can lead to gouges in your floor. Footprints Floors contractors are highly skilled and have more powerful, higher-quality equipment to sand floors beautifully and evenly.

Common Mistakes Include Dust


That never-ending nemesis, dust. Sanding floors creates a lot of dust particles that have to be meticulously cleaned before proceeding to next steps. If you fail to remove all those little dust specks before staining and finishing your floors, those teeny tiny bits of wood or lacquer will get trapped under the finish, ruining the smooth look you’re after. Footprints Floors contractors have the eye for detail and dedication you need to make sure your floors are dust free before anything else is applied.

Common Mistakes Include Bad Application of Stain and/or Finish


Footprints Floors has access to a wider range of products for stains and finishes than you’ll find at your local hardware store. Not only more color and style options, but higher quality formulas that last longer, dry faster and frankly look better. In addition to using high quality products on your floors, Footprints Floors contractors are trained in the best techniques for applying stains and finishes. A common problem seen in DIY flooring restoration is peeling finish. Other rookie mistakes include applying too many layers of finish without letting it dry in between applications. Instead of the sleek, shiny floors of your dreams, poorly finished floors will quickly look dull, dirty and potentially damaged.

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 in Columbus 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.

The team was great. Very communicative before and during the work. They arrived promptly and got the work done quickly and with great craftsmanship. We even had a small issue we noticed the next day and they return quickly and fixed it. I would recommend them to anyone. They are great.
Joshua Boone 10/24/23 — google
We are so very happy with not only our new sanded wood floors, kitchen, dining room and den, but also how easy it was to communicate with the company, which is family owned. The owner, Justin was always available to answer any questions we had, even during weekends. He also showed up every day as the job was being done. The workers were very professional. They showed up every morning exactly at 8am and started directly working. Everything was covered from windows to cabinets. And at the end of the project which took only 3 days the workers actually dusted everything. Cannot say enough good things about this company.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Footprints Floors for a hardwood floor installation in my home, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. From start to finish, their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to quality were truly exceptional. The process began with a comprehensive consultation where their team listened carefully to my preferences and provided valuable insights to help me make the best choices for my space. They were patient and knowledgeable, guiding me through various wood species, finishes, and design options until we felt confident in our decision. Once the project began, the Footprints Floors team arrived promptly and ready to work. I was impressed by their efficiency and the precision with which they handled every aspect of the installation. They took great care to prepare the subfloor properly, ensuring a flawless foundation for my new hardwood floors. Throughout the installation, the team maintained a clean and organized workspace, and they were respectful of my home. They also kept me informed about their progress, ensuring that I was always up to date on the status of the project. The final result exceeded my expectations. My hardwood floors are not only stunning but also feel incredibly solid and durable. In addition to their exceptional work, I was pleasantly surprised by their transparent pricing and commitment to staying within budget. There were no hidden costs or surprises along the way, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend Footprints Floors to anyone in need of hardwood floor installation. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to customer satisfaction are truly unmatched. Thanks to Footprints Floors, we now have beautiful hardwood floor in my wife's office. Thank you, Footprints Floors, for a job well done!

My Husband and I had Footprints Floors install vinyl plank flooring in our 3 season room and they exceeded our expectations . We had a great experience from Keith who gave us the estimate , Clint the owner who contacted us and set up our appointment, and their amazing crew . Their prices are very reasonable and I would recommend them to anyone looking to have flooring installed .
Jessica H 07/29/23 — google
The ability to purchase our own flooring at a cheaper price and cutting out the middle man and then have Footprints install with professional quality is amazing. We were even allowed to rip up our old flooring ourselves to significantly save on cost. We wanted to have the new floor installed before our big July 4th party and they were very accommodating. For a 400+ Sq Ft Kitchen, Dining Room and Laundry room they sent 6 installers and managed to have the whole project done in 3 hours! I would highly recommend this service if you want professional installation but want to be able to choose your own flooring.

Footprints put about 600 Square Feet of flooring in my home on the second floor. This is the second time we have hired them for flooring work. I have personally installed over 1000SQ of flooring but didn't have to time for this job myself - so I have experience with this kid of work. We came back because of the positive experience the first time and the second flooring work was just as great. We loved providing the materials and having Footprints focus on the installation work. Scheduling was easy. Finish work is great. You can tell we would hire them again... since we already did. Tony

They did an awesome job installing my luck, Cerulean vinyl flooring and they did it in a timely manner. Will definitely recommend them. Would definitely recommend them to others. Thanks glad you and your team did an awesome job. Alana

Couldn't be happier. Bought some LVP from Menards to cover up my terrible old wallpaper-floor I had stuck to my uneven concrete slab in my kitchen and hallway, but was worried about DIYing it since I didn't know how to level out the slab. Was impressed with Brian when he did my estimate and ended up going with Footprints for the installation and am glad I did. They had good ideas for dealing with any problems and I ended up with an install that looks great and feels solid and stable. Had an easy time reaching Clint for any questions or other communications, and Antonio and his team got all 260 square feet done in under two hours. Was told I can always reach out if any issues arise, which was reassuring, though at this point it doesn't look like it'll be necessary! I'd recommend this place very highly.

amazing job and extremely flexible to my needed timing
Alexandria DeBoer 04/20/23 — google
I highly recommend Footprints Floors of Columbus. They did a great job with speed and efficiency. The floors look great. They used the wood floor pieces conservatively. The measurement was 1409 sq ft and I purchased 1525 sq ft and I returned 4 unused boxes and have some left over so the final usage was about 1412 sq ft.

I hired this company after getting an estimate for installation of new luxury vinyl planks. Mr. Clint Morse was very professional, nice and the go to guy for any issues or questions. I didn't experience any major issues and the small issue that needed taken care of Clint and his crew was prompt and addressed the issue with a sense of urgency and that showed me how much they care and pay attention to their customers. The floor installation project went smooth and the job was exceptionally done timely. The workers cleaned up after themselves and disposed of any debris. I recommend this Footprints for any flooring project.
Shirley Banks 04/4/23 — google
From start to finish, Footprints were professional, transparent, experts, and thorough. I was impressed at their installation crew. Brian from sales set the tone with a very non-salesy approach. He was knowledgeable, helpful, very resourceful and experienced. Clint, the owner showed up on day 1 of installation and to do a final walk-through at the end. The cherry on top of our beautiful floors was that Clint even returned our extra 2 boxes of flooring to the supplier for a refund. We will use them if we need any other flooring updates and recommend them to anyone.

We hired footprints floors to refinish some original hardwood floors we discovered under our carpet. Everything from the scheduling to the estimate to the final product and follow up was incredible. The customer service was top notch, and the project itself was done quickly without lacking quality. We are extremely happy with Footprints and plan to use them for any future flooring projects!
Christina Thompson 12/14/22 — google
This is our second time hiring Footprints to install porcelain floor tile in our home. They did a fantastic job both times. Jason is so thoughtful in his approach and you can tell by his work how skilled he is. The whole team is very responsive from start to finish and their pricing is fair. We won't hesitate to use them again!
