Yes! You CAN sand your engineered hardwood floors….but is this a seasonal task?
Your prefinished hardwood floors have taken quite a beating over the years. Whether you have children, grandchildren, dogs or all of the above your floors most likely have gotten scratched, scuffed, nicked or just plain dull. Whatever the case may be, you’re ready to bite the bullet and make them look new again. But is it the right time? Fortunately, there is no WRONG time here in the LowCountry. Year round sunshine along with mostly moderate temperatures with a few cold front exceptions here and there make having projects done to your home extremely pleasant and uncomplicated.
So here we are in the beginning of a whole new year. January can be a rather unpredictable month in the Beaufort, Bluffton and Hilton Head areas. But for the most part a little on the chillier side…along with some precipitation. So is it a good time to refinish those hardwood floors…the answer is of course YES! It might even be the BEST time to refinish those floors and here’s some reasons why…
• I don’t know about you but we take great advantage of not having to run the AC in our home this time of year. It’s great energy savings and obviously less money we have to pay to the electric company. Throw on a warm sweater or snuggle up with a cozy blanket and call it a day! But another benefit to not running your unit is the lessoning of air pollutants in your home. This is extremely beneficial when floor refinishing. The less dust and particles blowing around the more likely your freshly coated floors will look clean and free of debris.
• If it gets cold enough where you do need to run your heat, then humidity
won’t be of any concern. Humidity often causes warping. As a result the boards don’t lay flat. Dry heat is very favorable when getting your hardwood floors refinished.
• We’re all familiar with the term “off season” and around Beaufort, Bluffton
and Hilton Head that off season is generally from November to the end of
February. If you want the very best service at the very best prices you’re going to want to arrange to have your floors repaired or restored between these months. It’s a win/win for everyone!
• Like anything else..your car..your teeth…your hair…your floors need attention too. They need to be properly cared for and they need addressing when there’s a problem. Don’t procrastinate. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. Your floors costs thousands of dollars. Keep their
• Value by maintaining them professionally.
