What You Need to Know About the Process
Before the project begins, all furniture, wall art, and personal belongings must be removed from the work area to ensure a smooth refinishing process. This type of work is typically done while the home is unoccupied, and we strongly recommend arranging to vacate during the project. However, if only select rooms are being refinished and you prefer to stay, we can make accommodations with careful planning to minimize disruption. This is because at Miami Beach Wood Floors, we specialize in low and zero VOC products. This is different from most wood flooring contractor as they use chemicals when staining floors that expel hazardous material into the air and strong, unpleasant, odors.

Maintaining a clean, dust-controlled environment is crucial for achieving a flawless hardwood floor finish. Throughout the refinishing process, we use 3M protective plastics and precision surface tapes to seal off work areas, preventing dust from spreading. Our advanced dustless refinishing technology significantly reduces airborne particles, ensuring a cleaner, healthier workspace. While no refinishing process is entirely dust-free, our cutting-edge sanding system surpasses industry standards for precision and cleanliness. Once sanding is complete, we meticulously vacuum and clear all surfaces before applying the final finish. This thorough preparation ensures a seamless, durable result that enhances both the beauty and longevity of your hardwood floors.


After we are done drying time depends on the product we use, if it is water-based or oil-based. We will advise you on what is best for your floor. Be informed there are pros and cons for each of the products. Expect anything from 4 hours to 24 hours before stepping on the floor again.
Hardwood Floor Stain Colors
The right stain color can transform your hardwood floors, enhancing the character and elegance of your space. Because each wood species absorbs stain differently, factors like grain pattern, texture, and natural undertones influence the final result. The most accurate way to achieve the perfect shade is by applying stain samples directly onto your floors, allowing you to see how the color interacts with your specific wood type and lighting conditions.
