Signs You Need Hardwood Floor Refinishing
Many homeowners hesitate to invest in hardwood floor refinishing, but delays, once the time comes, could have serious consequences for the underlying hardwood and the structure beneath.
Look out for these signs that it’s time for a refinish:
- Visible wear & tear: If you can simply look at your finish and see that it’s worn or damaged, it’s time for a refinish before the subfloor is damaged.
- Faded or dull appearance: If your floors are bleached by sunlight or dull with wear, that’s a good sign you need to schedule hardwood floor refinishing.
- Sticky or unsmooth surface: If your floor catches at your feet and feels tacky, it’s due for a new finish.
- Deep scratches or scrapes: Deep scratches that penetrate the finish require a refinish as soon as possible, lest the underlying structure end up damaged.

FAQs
How often should hardwood floors be refinished?
Most hardwood floors will benefit from refinishing at least once a decade, with earlier attention for excessive wear or severe damage.
What other maintenance does hardwood need?
You should also be sweeping and mopping regularly, using a hardwood floor cleaner every month or so, and adding a new layer of finish every few years to get the most out of your floor.
Does my new stain have to look the same?
No, you can change stain colors and aesthetics during the refinishing process, unlike when you’re simply adding a new layer.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Aaron and his crew did an amazing job on our floors! I honestly wasn’t sure that the floors were going to be able to be refinished in the condition that they were in but these guys worked miracles! Aaron answered all our questions, responded quickly to calls or texts and made sure that we got what we wanted out of the project. I would highly…
Aaron and his crew exceeded all expectations. I had to reschedule twice, to which Aaron was very accommodating. The team showed up on time, did a phenomenal job with the floors, and thoroughly cleaned the area before leaving. I look forward to working with AG construction again!
AG Construction did a great job repairing and refinishing my hardwood floors. Aaron is professional and responsive and was helpful in guiding me to the right stain choice based on the existing condition of my floors. I never felt pressure and he was flexible with his schedule to accommodate mine. His crew worked hard and kept the mess to a minimum. I highly recommend them.
Original parquet flooring from 1962. AG was on time, got done early, did a fantastic job with some rough spots, and was very reasonable price. Aaron was extremely knowledgeable and knew exactly what should be done.
AG Construction provided an awesome experience refinishing our floors. They were professional, arrived on time and they were very helpful. I love the finished product. It’s like we have new floors and they matched the stain perfectly! Great job!
Refinishing Antique and Historic Wood Floors
Older homes across Maryland and DC sit on wood floors that predate modern finishes: old-growth boards, heart pine, parquet laid by hand. These floors refinish beautifully, but they are not a job for an aggressive first pass. Board thickness, old repairs, and the patina worth keeping all get assessed before a sander ever starts, and where a floor needs structural help first, that is restoration work and we say so.
If your goal is keeping the character while losing the wear, say exactly that at the estimate. Refinishing an antique floor to look appropriately old, rather than factory-new, is a finish and sheen decision we make together before the work starts.
After the Refinish: Keeping It Looking New
A refinish lasts as long as the care it gets. Our floor cleaner and care guide covers the cure window, which cleaners are safe on a new finish, and the habits (felt pads, grit control, no steam) that decide whether the next refinish is in eight years or eighteen.
How Our Refinishing Process Works
1. Free Estimate
We measure, assess the wood and the wear, and give you a written price at your home. No cost, no obligation.
2. Sanding
Dust-conscious equipment takes the floor back to clean, bare wood, removing the old finish and surface scratches.
3. Stain & Finish
Your chosen stain color, then durable protective coats. We walk you through sheen and color options first.
Refinish, Restore, or Replace?
If the boards are structurally sound and the damage lives in the finish layer, refinishing is the answer, and it costs a fraction of new flooring. Deep water damage, pet stains that have soaked into the wood, or broken boards call for restoration first. And if the floor has been sanded to its limit, we will tell you honestly and quote a replacement instead. The free estimate settles which one your floor actually needs.
What Affects Refinishing Cost
Square footage, the floor's condition, stain and finish choices, and repairs all move the number, which is why we quote in person rather than guess. Our blog has a full breakdown in what hardwood refinishing costs in Maryland, and your written estimate is free either way. We refinish floors across Maryland, Washington DC, and Northern Virginia, including Fairfax and Arlington.
