Flooring Restoration

With Top Industry Professionals in Minneapolis


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 Minneapolis 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.

We hired Footprint Floors to remove the carpet on our second floor and stairs, and to install flooring to match what we already had on our main floor. They were prompt in communication with us, and helpful in guiding us to get the correct materials and identify solutions for components to the project we hadn’t considered. When install day arrived the team was efficient, minimally disruptive, and over all did a great job. They were able to work around a few pieces of furniture we were not able to move from the main floor - relieving significant stress on our end. When the stairs ended up not matching perfectly they went above and beyond to find a solution. We absolutely love the final product!

Great from start to finish!!!
Lindsay Grabb 03/19/24 — google
Hayden and his crew were great to work with. They installed laminate flooring on steps and in bedroom replacing very old carpet. It took just a couple of days to remove all of the carpet and install new flooring. Everyone said steps are tricky to do but they did it and the minor issues that came up they presented alternatives and overcame the issues. It was all done for exactly what was quoted also.
TOM SCOTT 03/5/24 — google
Footprints Floors Minneapolis gave us very prompt service for both quoting and installation. Time from RFQ to onsite estimate/measuring was less than a week and after we accepted the quote they were able to schedule install the next week. The crew came out and installed 600 sqft of flooring in a day! I would definitely recommend these guys for any of your flooring needs.

Highly recommend Footprint Floors! From the initial visit to the final product, I was so pleased with Hayden and Walter. Great communication, incredible finish to our floors, and reasonable prices!
Jillian Hiscock 01/26/24 — google
Many thanks to Hayden, Walter and team for their customer oriented persistence in getting this project finished. Oak flooring was interlaced. Sanding came out smooth and right up to the quarter round. There was minimal dust. It took an extra coat to get the water based finish smooth, but Hayden was there to fully back up our project and his installation.
B. Steven Springrose 01/26/24 — google
Footprint and Hayden did a great job on my 100 y.o. wood floors. Very smooth, no defects, and great customer service.

Walter and Hayden recently sanded and stained my wood floors, and I couldn't be happier with the results. They worked efficiently, minimized disruptions, and maintained a clean workspace. Communication was excellent, with regular updates on the project's progress. Walter was beyond great! I highly recommend Hayden and Footprints Floors for their exceptional craftsmanship and dedication. My wood floors now look stunning, thanks to their skill and commitment to customer satisfaction.
Madison Clem 12/18/23 — google
Working with Hayden and his team were amazing. They always showed up on time, they were professional and careful with their work. Hayden was so knowledgeable and helped us find the perfect wood for our project. He answered all of our questions with detailed and prompt responses. His team finished our main floor: floor and baseboards -750sqft - in 2 days! They had the best value and vibe out of the 5 we got quotes from. Would recommend to anyone looking for an expert flooring team!

Barefoot Floors did an amazing job restoring our wood floors. We ended up needing to replace quite a few damaged boards, and they look like they were always a part of the floor. The floors look great!
Lindsay Robinson 11/8/23 — google
I recently hired Footprints Floors to redo the stairs in my house and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the team was professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain the process to me and answer any questions I had. The craftsmanship of the work was outstanding. The stairs look absolutely beautiful and are now a standout feature in my home. The team worked efficiently and left the work area clean and tidy each day. Overall, I highly recommend Footprints Floors for any flooring needs. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality work is exceptional. Thank you, Footprints Floors, for transforming my stairs into a work of art!

Great experience all around. Hayden and team were responsive, professional and did great work. Would highly recommend
Brian Simons 10/7/23 — google
We hired Footprints Floors for a laminate flooring repair. I was worried because the damage was in the middle of the floor - a significant amount of planking had to be removed to access the damaged ones. The crew was professional, courteous, and they cleaned up afterwards. They knew what they were doing and did an awesome job - our floor looks like new!
Chet Olson 10/6/23 — google
Carson from the footprint team does amazing work. He is professional, explains things clearly, and is a pleasure to work with. Would recommend!
Zach Meierhofer 10/2/23 — google
On time and professional floor refinishing, beautiful work! Estimate was reflective of work and there were no surprise cost. Carson told us up front that in his professional opinion a dark stain would be better than the clear. We upgraded to a better stain instead of clear as recommended after the sanding was complete and reveled stains that were deep into the wood. Footprints Floors admin team and crew were great. My client bumped into them at the property and was impressed with their level of professionalism and friendliness. As a busy REALTOR/ real estate agent in Minneapolis metro who needs contractors I trust and that will be good for my current and future clients I Heather Zielinski with Coldwell Banker Minneapolis Lakes endorse Footprints Floors and look forward to a continued business relationship!
Heather 08/25/23 — google
