Flooring Restoration

With Top Industry Professionals in Everett / Bellingham


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 Everett / Bellingham 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.

What Our Customers Say

Outstanding experience from start to finish! Professional and courteous staff. Job was completed ahead of schedule and on budget. Highest possible recommendation!
Reed Bernhard 11/2/24 — google
I cannot recommend Footprint Floors Northwest highly enough! Nate came to take a look at a small job at my house and walked me through all the options. Rather than trying to convince me to hire him he explained to me how I could do the job myself and save money rather than hire him for it (since it was a small job and it didn't really make sense). Despite not having any work for him, Nate spent a ton of time with me going over the project and even offered to share some materials with me. I have had a really tough time finding honest and reliable contractors to tackle various home projects and I know I will never look anywhere else for help with flooring installation/repair/refinishing.

Five Stars for sure for FOOTPRINTS FLOORS EVERETT/BELLINGHAM! After many exhauting trips trying to match our master bedroom floor to our existing wood floors, I contacted Nate at FOOTPRINTS FLOORS. That was all it took. After one visit, Nate found the flooring, arranged for installers, removed and hauled away existing rug, helped us move furniture, left the room clean.....Nate was amazing. We cannot thank him enough and highly recommend him and his team to all. THANKS NATE!
Cheryl E 10/2/24 — google
Nate and team are awesome! We had originally agreed to a tile job, but the job scope rapidly expanded. Him and his team took it in stride, handled my lack of knowledge and delivered a quality job in a short amount of time. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely use again for any other bathroom jobs. Thank you!
Jens Clark 09/11/24 — google
Start to finish, promises made promises kept. Nate was a pleasure to work with. His crew made our 60+ year old floors look like new. Highly recommend and would use again.
Greg Burnside 08/22/24 — google
Nate and his team (Vlad + Nick + others) did a great job refinishing our floors. We had a combo of solid red oak/white oak and they refinished them so they looked brand new in our 23 year old home, which had a lot of water stains and looked a bit worn out. The red oak was bleached to match the white oak, and it looks so much more modern and new. Thank you so much! Nate also gave us tips on how to maintain them, which we appreciated. Posted photos but it looks better in person!
Maria Kim 06/28/24 — google
Footprints did a great job at a reasonable price. Although a project like this always causes disruption, Nate's crew held that to a minimum, including actually beating the originally estimated time to completion. He was clear on how to prepare and what to do after the job was finished. Highly recommended.
Phil Thompson 06/10/24 — google
Nate and his crew were professional, competent, reliable, and on time. Nate is an excellent communicator, and the install was a good value for the excellent quality of work done. We had him put in hard wood floors - white oak with a natural finish for our kitchen, powder room, and living room-which all turned out beautifully!!! As well as tile in our primary bathroom, hall bathroom, and utility room. We are beyond thrilled with the results. We would 100% recommend Nate and his Footprints Floors business for any flooring needs.
R Rodriguez 04/26/24 — google
Nate and his team care about beautiful floors. They repaired and refinished our hickory hardwood as if it were their own . Footprints Floors are ultimate craftspeople!
Mary Melton 04/25/24 — google
First off, I am an Architect who is a bit hands-on when it comes to work in my own residence. I hired Footprints Flooring to replace failing sheet vinyl with new Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) in our laundry room and two bathrooms. I chose Footprints primarily because Owner Nate (himself) visited our house to prepare estimate; he is highly communicative and responsive (rare for contractors these days). Like myself, Nate is also detailed oriented and thoroughly covered demo, subfloor, LVT installation, transitions and schedule and was the only one who researched availability of the LVT we wanted before coming out to prepare estimate. Footprints' price was competitive and Nate was more than fair on charges for unforeseen subfloor overages. His installer David did a fantastic job, was polite, respectful and responsive to my comments - making sure his finish work met or exceeded my standards. We couldn't be happier with the finished result and their final clean up was thorough. I highly recommend Footprints Flooring.
Rick Tolleshaug 03/26/24 — google
From initial contact to job completion, Nate and Footprint Floors was professional through and through. Nate explained the process completely, provided a timely and competitive estimate, and worked with our schedule. We were kept informed of the progress of the project throughout. The entire team at Footprint floors were fantastic and they completed the job a day ahead of schedule. Our floors look fantastic and have been brought back to life! I would highly recommend Footprint Floors for your flooring needs and care!
Mike Briddell 03/20/24 — google
It was great luck to meet Nate. Since I previously had experience working with floor painting specialists, I was preparing for long deadlines and rework. Nate did his work quickly and efficiently, showed up on time, and did everything as promised. Dealing with him left a pleasant aftertaste. I can confidently recommend it to friends.
Natalia S 01/22/24 — google

Excellent work. 100% satisfaction.
Paul Stocks 08/10/23 — google
Just had my floors redone by Footprints and was really impressed. I was nervous because we had water damage and was going from a dark cherry stain to a lighter color and loved how they turned out.
Jayme Haynes 08/10/23 — google
We were amazed at the wonderful job Nate and his crew did. Our soft wood floors had 30 years worth of scratches and scrapes. Our floors now look brand new! The quality of the workmanship was excellent, the workers were professional and the work was completed on time. Thank you!
Terry Annema 07/23/23 — google
We called Footprint Floors to install wood in place of the old carpet we currently had. We originally wanted to match existing wood in the house. Once the installers got here they realized that the new wood was not the same height as the already installed wood. We immediately spoke with our Sales rep, Nate and worked out a new plan to replace all the wood in the house. Nate and the Footprint floor installers were very professional, and responsive to the issues that arose, which always seems to happen with construction projects. We were very happy with the end results and would strongly recommend Nate and Footprint Floors.
D. Feller 07/11/23 — google
Great communication, clean efficient process. Good quality work. Highly recommended.
Anthony Hamilton 06/8/23 — google
I was so pleased during the remodel of my house to find original hardwood floors. Now, after repairs and refinishing from Footprints, the floor is my favorite part of the remodel. The kitchen and hallway to our bedroom did not have wood originally, but they've weaved in the new wood with the existing wood so well, it all looks original. Overall, Footprints far exceeded my expectations and I would recommend them to anyone.
