The hardwood refinishing process begins with assessing the remaining wear layer depth to ensure the wood can withstand sanding. The process involves multiple rounds of sanding with increasingly fine grit to level the floor and remove deep scratches. After dust removal, a wood conditioner or stain may be applied, followed by several layers of polyurethane or oil-based finish. Proper curing time is essential before moving furniture back into the space to avoid damaging the fresh coating.
