Flooring Restoration

With Top Industry Professionals in Sarasota / Venice


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 Sarasota / Venice 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

Footprints Floors of SW Florida did a great job replacing old backsplash tiling with new marble tile that we purchased from Floor & Decor. Don Brammeier made the process go very smoothly. His crew of installers was fantastic. Very hard workers, they were meticulous in their work, and they cleaned up carefully when finished. We are very happy with the result.

I would highly recommend this company. The owner was prompt, friendly and did not try to upsell. We felt totally comfortable with his knowledge and estimate. The installers were fantastic. They had such a positive and calming attitude. Their work ethic was above and beyond any others we have dealt with. There was hardly any waste due to the fine workmanship. If you're looking for a floor installer, look no more. You will be very satisfied.

The husband and wife team from Footprints did an exceptional job with our kitchen mosaic and laundry tile backsplash. The tile was completed in one day and it looks beautiful! It was easy to do business with Don from Footprints and I would highly recommend this company.

John Vanecek 08/18/22 — google
I originally wanted to see about getting my engineered wood floors refinished. Don came and determined the floors were too thin. He suggested LVP which is what we went with. He was easy to work with through the entire process from determining which product to purchase to helping me save some money with the demo and install. His team was great also. Very respectful of our home and neighbors. I would recommend Don and his team to anyone looking for quality work.
Bobbi Cole 08/9/22 — google
Don and his crew worked so quickly it was amazing! I spoke with Don just a few minutes after sending a request for an estimate for putting new floors down in my home. He quickly set up a time to come out to give an estimate and bring flooring type samples based on what I told him about my living situation with pets and a wheelchair bound mom. The estimate quote was half the price and time of installation of a competitive installer. Don was communicative through our the time leading up to installation. His crew was amazing and friendly. My mom really enjoyed their company and was astounded at how quickly the project was completed. I will be using this great company again in the future for sure!
Wendy Baker 08/2/22 — google
Great team, no issues. We were short a little flooring and they waited with no charges for us to run and pick up rest. Great quality and fast.
Brian E Carroll 05/30/22 — google
We solicited 3 bids to install 1000 square feet of new vinyl planks over our 20-year-old tile floor. Footprints Floors estimated the cost within $300 of the final cost for labor. They estimated 3 days to complete the work, but they finished the job within one long day. The floors turned out better than we had hoped, and we are highly satisfied with the finished product. We would recommend Footprint Floors to anyone considering any additional work on their floors.

Footprints Flooring installed both vinyl flooring and tiles. Both crews did amazing work. They arrived on time, worked at a steady pace finished in the promised timeframe and cleaned up everything perfectly. I had good communication with owner, Don and he addressed any questions or concerns. Pricing was competitive with other estimates. I highly recommend.
Alexander Gish III 03/18/22 — google
Had Footprints flooring remove some old tile and install vinyl plank flooring. The new flooring had to match up with existing flooring that was in the house when we bought it. Victor and his crew did an awesome job. The owner Don is responsive and came to the job site at the beginning and end of the job. Thanks Don and Victor and crew for a job well done!

The service was professional from start to finish. Don was very good explaining what we needed to have and how the work would be done. Victor and his crew were wonderful!!!! They were extremely efficient and did what they promised. I enjoyed the communication with the guys even if I don’t speak Portuguese and they were not well versed in English. We all enjoyed a good laugh.

Excellent work and really good crew.
Bruce Bowen 11/8/21 — google
We had LVP purchased from Home Depot installed by Footprints Floors and they did an excellent job. We had a special issue that needed addressing with our slab that Home Depot would not deal with. Don was very helpful and offered various options to treat the issue. We are very pleased with the installation and will use Footprints Floors for future projects.
