Flooring Restoration

With Top Industry Professionals in St. Paul / Woodbury


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 St. Paul / Woodbury 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

We had an awesome experience from estimate to installation!
Allison Schoeneck 11/15/24 — google
Footprint Floors did an excellent job installing my kitchen ceramic tile backsplash. Gary, the owner, arranged a time to look at my project, discuss what I would like done, made suggestions and answered all of my questions. His quote was very reasonable. He explained the process of the installation, how long the project would take, etc. He was in communication with me and gave me updates as the project moved forward. Gary is very personable, reliable and I got the sense that he truly enjoys meeting people and takes pride in providing excellent workmanship. I can’t say enough good about the installer. He was polite, precise and a hard worker. His attention to detail was impressive. He prepped the area and cleaned the area up when he was finished. His workmanship is outstanding. My new backsplash is amazing and stunning. I would not hesitate hiring Footprint Floors in the future. Kathy

Footprints flooring was great. They completed the work in a timely fashion, the install was awesome quality, and they were very clean! I would use them for any of my future projects.
Jeffrey Oswald 10/19/24 — google
Gary was very responsive and was able to come out and give us an estimate right away. We needed a tile kitchen backsplash. He walked me through what they would do, what kind of tile to consider, etc. I went and picked out the tile. We were scheduled very quickly and when we were the ones who had to postpone, we were able to get a new install date, again, very soon. We think the installer did an excellent job and I am very picky. He was very efficient and cleaned up his work area. He completed the job in one day. We love the look of our new backsplash. It helped transform a very generic tan /brown kitchen and give it some color and character.

I had some pretty old and beat up hardwood floors sanded and refinished. The results were amazing. Gary from footprint was awesome to work with. They had the best price I could find shopping around and did excellent work. Gary went the extra mile to accommodate my work schedule and gave great advice and knowledge. I’d recommend them to anybody!!

Gary and his team are fantastic! From start to finish, the experience was seamless. Gary quickly accommodated our schedule, and his team arrived right on time. The entire project was completed in just one day, and the results are outstanding. The installation team was professional, paid great attention to detail, and left the site spotless. I couldn't be happier with the service and quality of work. Highly recommended!
Kim Katzenmeyer 08/29/24 — google
Footprint floors were absolutely amazing from start to finish!! I had torn out all of the carpeting in my upstairs and had beautiful hardwood underneath but unfortunately there were a lot of stains and scratches. As I was searching for quotes to get my floors done, footprints floors reached out to me and made a quick appointment. Gary, the owner, came out and gave me a bid on the floors. He was so easy to talk to and was very understanding of me being a new homeowner. He was also quick to ease my worries about the big stains. He was one of three people that came and gave me bids but I knew that I was making the right choice by choosing his company! They had an opening the following week and I took it. Gary’s workers did an absolutely incredible job. And they got it done in only two days!! His team was respectful, hardworking, fast working, and incredibly talented. I had the biggest smile on my face walking through the finished living room and bedrooms. The big stains and scratches were completely gone and the floors were stunning! I am so happy with their work and I would 100% recommend choosing Footprint Floors for anyone wanting to bring life back to their hardwood floors!

Great company, good communication, and fair pricing. They really took care of us.
Bill Bakken 08/12/24 — google
Gary and his team did an amazing job on our flooring project! They installed lvp in our historic home with uneven subfloors, and Gary and his team were able to install it perfectly! They also refinished and repaired our historic wood floor, and it looks amazing! We couldn’t have been happier with Footprints! We will definitely be calling them with any other flooring projects we have in the future!
Natalie Mason 08/5/24 — google
Gary and his team are AMAZING. Friendly, courteous, respectful to my family, me and our home. The work was beyond expectation. From the first call to job completion was a little over a week. I got 3 quotes for the job and he was the most reasonable by a considerable amount. We could not be happier with the entire team and the superb result. Thank you Footprints.
Pete Feider 08/3/24 — google
Great experience! This is our second time using Footprints for tile work. Gary has been a pleasure to do business with, and Elkin did a fabulous job setting our beautiful and detailed backsplash! I highly recommend!
Debora Note 07/23/24 — google
Gary did a thorough job of explaining the job and addressing concerns I had about unforeseen problems that might arise which may increase the end bill. Joel,the installer did a fantastic job and was able to troubleshoot an issue with a transition piece and also pulled the toilet but didn't charge me extra as initial bid quote was if toilet didn't have to be pulled.i would highly recommend footprints floors to anyone who needs flooring work done.
Alex G 07/19/24 — google
Gary took on a difficult project after the previous contractor quit. He did first class work at a very fair price and in a reasonable time frame. He had to install underlayment in my entire home, including adding sisters to most of the joists. He made the floor perfectly level and it does not squeak! He then installed LVP throughout the home. It looks great! I'd hire him for any job without hesitation! (Ignore mess in photos, remodel not done yet.)
James G. 02/12/24 — google
Courteous, knowledgeable, and proficient. We had a problem caused by the builders of our two-plus year old house: there was a depression in the subfloor, causing our vinyl plank flooring to begin to fail. Gary had seen the problem before, and knew how to proceed to find the cause of the problem, and repair the subfloor. Joel, the technician, was very capable and did a fine repair with minimal replacement of planks. We would recommend Footprints Floors highly.
K Johnson 01/21/24 — google
I had such a positive experience with Footprints Floors. From start to finish Gary and his crew were so very professional. Gary talked me through the process and gave me the information to make the right decision about my home. He introduced me to a supplier and I was able to find an affordable flooring option. Joel and Paul, the installation crew, were timely and talented. They did a beautiful job installing my floors in such a short amount of time. I cannot recommend this company enough! You will be so happy with the quality of work and customer service you receive!
Stacy Fox 09/25/23 — google
Gary’s and his crew did a great job for us. He was flexible in scheduling. Most important, he sent a true craftsman to do our bathroom tile job. It was a small project but required skill to add on to previously laid tile without it being noticeable.
Mary Kay Kanninen 09/18/23 — google
Gary was very professional and very easy to work with throughout the entire process. I appreciated working with him and would highly recommend.
