Flooring Restoration

With Top Industry Professionals in Fairfax / Vienna


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 Fairfax / Vienna 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.

Perry Williams 10/30/24 — google
When making a choice to refinish our ash floors i requested estimates from three companies. I was very impressed with Grants prompt response in coming out to the house and his professionalism throughout the quoting process. The quote was fair and concise in what we wanted including seeing multiple samples of sealers in order to have the finish we wanted. The job was completed beautifullly and in a timely fashion by Juan, Angel & Ivan. James, our Project Manager was there to do the final walk through and fix any of the areas we had concerns with. We appreciated his efforts to complete the job to our satisfaction. We had high expectations and had been in remodel mode for over 3 months which made for a customer who had a bit of exhaustion with contractors. I commend James for listening, explaining things and wanting to make the floors right & the project experience the best it could be! I would highly recommend Footprint Flooring for your project.✨️👍

Grant came to give me a quote on my hard wood floors. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and transparent which I appreciate! Had a quote over to me shortly after his visit and the pricing is reasonable. Will definitely be using them for my floor repairs :)

Thank you so much for all the help from Jordan and everyone at Footprints floors. My new floors are beautiful, and I received excellent service from Jordan and Scott.

We had a wonderful experience with Footprints Floors. Jordan was truly friendly and helpful showing us the flooring options and explaning the product to us so that we made the right choice. And at the time of install, James the field manager made sure everything was explained to us and was resdy for the install crew to do their work. Ricardo and Joe then did an expert efficient and outstanding job laying our laminate composit flooring. I highly recommend Footprint Floors to anyone interested in installing such an outstanding product. Now we have a dog proof kid proof besutiful floor!

I can’t tell you how HAPPY we are with our floors! James, Todd, and Ivan’s guys were able to get the perfect color out of old, ugly, beaten up wood floors and perfectly matched it with the new floors added.
Colby Zeiser 09/13/24 — google
I am so happy with the care, service and product from Footprints! From beginning to end, communication, measuring, help w choosing product and answering my 1000’s of questions was unmatched. Jordan is phenomenal and I could not and wouldn’t have done this process without him. Jordan had been recommended by a friend who also raved about him. I would do more home improvement projects if there were more Jordans in the world. My floors turned out absolutely beautiful and Jordan really helped me to determine what flooring would be best for my needs and I am so happy with my choice. A shout out to Marcus and the install team for all their hard work and craftsmanship.
Stephanie Hale 09/13/24 — google
The quote was very good. The workers were extremely quick and efficient. I would use them again if I needed them.
Steve Frazier 09/11/24 — google
I have used footprints floors twice after having them recommended to me by a friend. I’m so very pleased with my floors after they’re finished. Freddy was my technician this time and did an amazing job refinishing, staining and varnishing the floor. He was efficient, speedy while maintaining quality work. He cleaned up everyday and there was very little dust even though he had to do a lot of sanding. James followed up after Freddy had finished and answered all my questions. If I need any work done on my floors I will be calling this company again

I contacted Scott Campbell of Footprints Floors through Angi’s List. I was determined to obtain five bids at least before I made any decision. I wanted to have my main bath converted from a bathtub to a shower. Scott gave me a very reasonable bid and his presentation included many choices pertaining to labor and material. My choice of contractors was an easy one and I give the highest praise to Scott, his foreman Marcus and his entire crew. The workmanship was excellent and communication was outstanding. I would recommend them in a heartbeat and use them again.
Linda Heyburn 08/22/24 — google
I went through a bit of a journey with these guys. Overall, they are great, but they got burned a bit by one of their contractors who didn't do a great job on part of my installation. It's uncomfortable telling a vendor that the quality of the work is not right, but they agreed, re-ordered materials, put a different crew on the job, and made it all right in the end. These things happen, part of life, whats important is that it was rectified in the end. They're good people with a good business and in the end I'd recommend them and will return to them for my next job.
Stephen Hodgetts 08/21/24 — google
Footprints did an INCREDIBLE job for us at our new place. Floors are like new! On top of that I shopped this job around to probably five local places and footprints price made it such an easy decision. Travis the project manager was super helpful through out and Freddie, who actually did the floor, was professional, helpful and an absolute craftsman. Jordan the sales guy was accurate in his quote, fast in his responses and great to work with
Nathan Leibowitz 08/15/24 — google
Jesse and his team are phenomenal to work with. Customer happiness is their top priority and I would gladly recommend them to others.
Kyle Jacobson 08/8/24 — google
Really excellent company to work with! I always get a call back within a day of leaving them a message. Very prompt with texts and emails as well. They did a great job of replacing my tile kitchen floor in just under three days. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone and would work with them again.
