Kimminau Floors offers a modern approach to refinishing hardwood floors with our dustless refinishing service. Using specialized, professional-grade equipment with HEPA-filtered vacuum systems, we capture nearly all the dust generated during the sanding process at the source, preventing it from spreading throughout your home. This advanced technique eliminates the need for extensive cleanup after the job is done, providing an efficient and hassle-free experience. The result is beautifully refinished floors, with minimal disruption to your space and daily routine.
At Kimminau Floors, we take pride in providing a complete, turn-key hardwood flooring refinishing service that guarantees a smooth, hassle-free experience from start to finish. Here’s a high-level overview of our refinishing process and if you would like to take an in-depth look you can read this blog.
We begin with a consultation to discuss your goals for the project, including stain color, finish, and any specific concerns you may have. This helps us customize the refinishing to fit your vision.
We’ve partnered with trusted professionals who specialize in carefully moving furniture and belongings. They will handle this task quickly and carefully, ensuring everything is protected during the refinishing process.
Before we begin sanding, we thoroughly clean the floors to remove any dirt, dust, and debris, ensuring a smooth and clean surface for refinishing. Remove all base shoe or quarter-round moldings and properly mask off cabinets and areas of the house we’re not working in.
Using specialized, professional-grade equipment with HEPA-filtered vacuum systems, we sand the floor to remove the existing finish. The dustless sanding process captures nearly all dust at the source, keeping your home clean and reducing airborne particles.
If requested, we apply your chosen stain color to the floor, ensuring even coverage to achieve the desired tone. We allow ample time for the stain to settle and dry.
Once the stain is dry, we apply multiple coats of sealer and finish to protect your floor. We offer a range of finishing systems, each providing unique benefits to suit your specific needs.
Next, we move on to trim installation, an essential finishing touch. Our craftsmen will expertly install new base shoe or quarter-round to complete the look. The trim can be either stained or painted, depending on your desired style.
Our turnkey experience wouldn’t be complete without the coordination of a professional paint crew. They will caulk and paint your new base shoe, adding the perfect finishing touches to your floor installation.
Next, we conduct a final clean and quality control review. Our goal is to leave your home as clean, or cleaner, than when we arrived. Once your floor meets our high standards, we ensure everything is spotless and ready for you to enjoy.
Our fast-curing, commercial-grade finishes allow you to move furniture back onto the floor within 48-72 hours, minimizing downtime. Our moving crew will be scheduled to arrive when the floor is ready, ensuring a smooth and timely transition without unnecessary delays.

The answer will vary depending on how well the hardwood floors have been maintained. With heavy traffic (dogs, kids, activity) and no maintenance, you may need to have the floors refinished in as little as 3-5 years. The general rule of thumb for regular traffic is 7-12 years. If you follow Kimminau Floors maintenance procedures and have your floors cleaned and coated every 3-5 years you can dramatically increase the life of your floor and go 20+ years before they need to be refinished.
There are clear signs that your floors may need refinishing. These signs include a dull finish, deep scratches, and dents. Fading color due to sunlight exposure, water damage, warping, cupping, pet stains, or discoloration can also indicate the need for refinishing.

Installing hardwood flooring increases the price of your home, but does refinishing the wood improve your home’s value? Yes, in most cases having floors that look like new adds to the atmosphere of your home and gives you 70%-100% of your investment back if you chose to sell your home. If you aren’t planning to sell, when your hardwood floors are refinished, you save time and money as opposed to a complete replacement of your hardwood floors. When the floors are maintained, minor problems can be handled earlier, before they become big and expensive issues. Refinishing what is already installed means you get great value from what you already have in your house. Not to mention your floors will look like new!

This will depend on the quality of the engineered floor that was installed. There’s a huge variance in the quality of engineered products. The cheap engineered products often found at big box retailers will usually have an extremely thin wear layer that cannot be refinished. The higher quality engineered products will have thicker wear layer that will allow a professional to refinish them 2-3 times. Kimminau Floors will only purchase and resell engineered products that are provided by manufacturers that meet the requirements of the NWFA Certified Refinishable program.

The cost to refinish your hardwood floor typically averages around $5 per square foot.

Choosing the right unfinished hardwood flooring is key to creating a timeless, durable, and beautiful space. With so many options available, it’s important to evaluate several factors to ensure the product aligns with your design goals and functional needs. Here are some key considerations:
Wood Species: Different wood species have unique characteristics, such as hardness, grain patterns, and color tones. Consider durability and aesthetics when choosing between popular options like oak, maple, hickory, or walnut.
Grade of Wood: Unfinished hardwood is available in various grades, from clear grade (minimal knots and uniform appearance) to character grade (featuring more knots, color variations, and unique patterns). Choose a grade that aligns with your design preferences.
Plank Width and Thickness: Wider planks offer a more modern, spacious look, while narrower planks provide a classic feel. Thickness is important for durability, especially if you anticipate refinishing the floor multiple times over its lifespan.
Type of Cut: The way the wood is cut affects the grain pattern and stability. For example, plain-sawn boards showcase traditional grain patterns, while quarter-sawn or rift-sawn boards offer tighter, more uniform grains and enhanced dimensional stability.
Construction Type: Consider the construction of your planks. Unfinished engineered hardwood offers superior stability compared to solid planks, especially in wide plank formats. This construction helps minimize expansion and contraction due to humidity changes, making it a reliable option for wider plank floors.
