Flooring Restoration

With Top Industry Professionals in Lakeland / Brandon


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 Lakeland / Brandon 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

Gene Hawk at Footprints Floors is by far the easiest, and most skilled flooring installer I’ve worked with. As a flooring manufacturer and distributor i’ve had the pleasure of working with Gene on a number of jobs, with consistent positive feedback from all of his customers. Not only does he do quality work that he stands by, it comes at a cost-effective rate as well. I would recommend Gene to any of my friends or family, and anyone in need of flooring in the Tampa area. You won’t regret it!

Gene, Vic and his crew did an excellent job on our floors. We had original 100-year-old hardwood floors that unfortunately could no longer be restored. The crew removed them, installed a new subfloor, and laid new LVP flooring throughout our whole house. Great attention to detail, fast work, and great communication! Would highly recommend.

We had a great experience with Footprints Floors while redoing our bathroom. Gene with FF did a great job in explaining the process, keeping in touch during the restoration and reaching out at all phases to see if we had any questions. Our tile installer Diego was outstanding ! He was prompt every day, friendly, approachable and his final product was well above our expectations ! Highly recommended !!!

I can’t say enough good things about Footprints. Gene was so professional and did an amazing job communicating and explaining things to me. My floors came out spectacular! I had 4 bedrooms and closets that needed to be tiled the same as the common areas in the house. You can’t tell where the new tiles begin. Diego, Bruno, and Matt did outstanding work and left my house very clean. I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend this company to anyone needing work. I am so happy I found them.

Thank you so much, Footprints Floors Tampa, for helping us out!! We had a leak from our windowsill and water soaked into our carpet. I spoke to Gene Hawk from Footprint Floors and he was able to do an assessment quickly. He sent his guys out a couple days later and they were professional, efficient, and did quality work So happy to have this room back to normal. If you need any flooring/carpet jobs done, give them a call! They are amazing!

Finding a contractor who delivers on the promise of quality workmanship and integrity is like finding a needle in a haystack these days, but with Gene and his team… I found that needle!

The new flooring looks great!

From our initial inquiry to a beautifully finished floor, the guys at Footprint Floors were top notch. They were extremely helpful, knowledgeable, timely, and just incredibly pleasant to work with. Our new floor is GORGEOUS and we couldn't be more pleased with the final product at a very fair price! They are craftsmen of the highest degree - we will be back for more!

To start, let me say I wanted my master bath remodeled and had a terrible time finding a contractor (they either wanted to charge enough to build a whole house or they never called back). My son happened to find Footprint Floors online and took a chance calling them for me. Gene showed up at my house on time, very professional and respectful. I could tell from the start, that he was very knowledgeable and was going to be great to work with. I actually cancelled another estimate and just went with Gene, once I got his very reasonable quote. Gene gave me a start date much sooner than I expected, and communication was great and consistent throughout the job….Then, Diego showed up! That man took my vision and made it come to life! He worked until the job was done, even late some days. He was also so patient with me when I changed the vision slightly. His workmanship is absolutely the best, my bathroom is now about to be the best room in my house! It’s not quite complete yet or I would post a picture. Gene and Diego are magic together, and I HIGHLY recommend them! I was sad to say ‘goodbye’ .
deborah pickett 05/14/24 — google
I was very pleased with the whole experience with Footprints Floor. Gene came out quickly to help me sort out what was needed, he provided a quote later that day for me and had me on the schedule as soon as we confirmed everything. The crew that came out was very professional and did a great job. I couldn’t be happier with how the floors turned out.
Dee Rodriguez 05/8/24 — google
From the first encounter with Gene, i knew he was a great guy with great intentions. Not the contractor or person looking to screw you over but someone who legitimately wants to do great work. With that said, they didn’t disappoint. Floors came out great!!! Dont have a single complaint about these guys. Top notch company. Give them a shout and you wont be disappointed!!!
Yaxel Castaneda 04/16/24 — google
The job was done well, and everyone was helpful in working with us. We appreciate what Vic and his team were able to do.
