Frequently Asked Questions

Q:    What is the process to Re-coat my wood floors?

A:     Recoating will add shine and durability to your existing wood floor.  The process includes stripping away build up, buffing and re-applying the finish. 

Q:    What is the process to Re-finish my wood floors?

A:     Refinishing requires the floor to be sanded down to bare wood, with stain and finish re-applied.  This is a much more intensive process.

Q:    How long does this take?

A:     Of course the answer to this question depends on the area to be processed.  Most jobs take 2-4 days from start to finish.  Staining can add 1-2 days.  It is always recommended that you wait a couple of days before resuming heavy traffic and replacing furniture. 

Q:    Is it very dusty?

A:     Bill's of West Hartford uses the very latest in dustless technology - the newest machinery which filters very differently from traditional sanding equipment. (Please see details on web site)   Although it is difficult to eliminate 100% of the dust produced, the equipment and our technicians do an incredible job of minimizing dust and maximizing the cleanliness of the process.

Q:    Will I need to move out during the sanding and refinishing process?

A:     Access is allowed anytime the floors are not wet.  Great care needs to be taken to keep the areas clean and dry. The customer will generally have access from 8pm - 8am. Bill's Floor Sanding will work with the customer to accommodate any special needs.
