Flooring Restoration

With Top Industry Professionals in Louisville


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 Louisville 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

They did a great job and were easy to work with. I would recommend them to my family.

Footprints Floors got me on the schedule for installation very quickly and kept me informed. Kristian did a great job with the installation. They guys are always wanting to do the job right.
Connie Teske 03/5/24 — google
I contacted Footprints Floors after a weekend of failed luxury vinyl plank installation myself. Jim arrived the next business day to give me a free estimate. Within minutes, I had an affordable estimate and was able to schedule the installation for the following week. Ben was very flexible and accommodating with my work schedule and actually drove to downtown Louisville to collect the deposit. Ted arrived the day of installation and completed my basement and basement bedroom flooring the same day. I can’t say enough about his work ethic. He completed the job within 8 hours and didn’t even stop to take any breaks. The next day, Trent came out to do a final walk through and we discussed future projects and vision for my home. This is a company I’ll be happy to use again in the future and recommend to family and friends for being affordable and great quality.

Ben was very professional and provided a detailed quote as well as any challenges I may have in trying to repair the tile floor. The guys that came to repair the floor were incredibly quiet, clean and efficient. The team did an excellent job, communicated very well, were early or on time at each meeting and I would use them again and recommend them to others.
Christina Hendrick 02/6/24 — google
Highly recommend! I’m a realtor, my clients had a short timeframe to get their floors done for the loan approval. Ben understood the assignment and got the floors done extremely fast in order to meet our deadline. They care and do great!
Aliya Malik 02/5/24 — google
They were great to work with. Shared all info upfront on what to expect, pricing and timeline. I will definitely will use them on future hardwood floors projects
Jaime Ehringer 01/23/24 — google
Installer did an excellent job installing hardwood flooring. Will be scheduling a kitchen backsplash next. Great company.
Joe Clarkson 12/29/23 — google
Absolutely wonderful experience. They are cheaper than anywhere else we looked, and the craftsmanship is suberb. Will be using them again! Update: we used this company for our backsplash a little over a year ago. We used them again for tile flooring in our bathrooms this past week. They are still the best priced, most professional, and organized business I've worked with. Looking forward to seeing them again in a few years when we take on our next flooring project!
Ryne Wolfe 12/14/23 — google
A great experience from beginning to end! I'd like to say up front that I'm blind, and so I have to really be able to put a high degree of trust in people I invite into my home to perform work. Everyone at Footprints was trustworthy, reliable, and exceptionally competent. Everyone who has seen the floor and tile backsplash they installed has been incredibly complementary. And to top it all off, I work from home and was able to perform my job for all three days while the contractor was working in the kitchen. Just a great experience. 100% would recommend!
Chris Stewart 12/14/23 — google
I have used footprint on two recent projects. New tile in our main bath and new lvp in our basement. Both projects look great and I will definitely use them again for flooring.
Lucas Dixon 10/25/23 — google
We are so happy with the finish flooring, Julian was so nice and did an amazing job! Thank you guys for all your hard work and the clean up, you are the Best👏
Patricia Hall 10/23/23 — google
It was so nice to have Ben and his crew take care of us. We had an issue with our dining room floor and they fixed it so quickly and efficiently. They even saved the tiles so we didn't have to use our spare box. The young man who did the work was so courteous and professional. I am scheduling an appointment with them soon to re-do my wood floors. Thank you Ben and Footprints!!
Doreen Roger 10/9/23 — google
I would recommend the company to everyone needing floors done
gladys spencer 10/6/23 — google
Ben and Christian did a great job installing new floors in our house. We are very pleased and think the floors look great. Turnaround time for the entire project was very quick.
Robert Brightwell 10/6/23 — google
We called Ben when our DIY floor refinishing didn’t go as planned. He is an absolute professional and gave us the guidance we needed to get the floors to what we wanted within a reasonable budget and timeline. His team takes care of your space while working and does so with a high standard. We LOVE how our upstairs floors turned out as they were able to get the stain to match the downstairs floors. We highly recommend Footprints Floors for hardwood refinishing!
Kate Lane Harris 09/25/23 — google
Great work done by John. My floor looks brand new and I love it! Ben at Footprints is very professional - worked up price, discussed and got me on the schedule in decent time frame. Came out after work completed to check in and make sure I was happy with it and to follow up with any questions I may have.
