What to expect before, during & after the actual work:
Understand Your Timeline
Planning your personal schedule around the actual work timeline, including pre and post work guidelines will help you manage expectations. Every job is different and we try to help you properly arrange for all the additional time sensitive scheduling that comes with this type of work.
Moving Furniture
This may seem obvious, but planning your furniture move is critical. Our sales team will work with you to recommend the best choice for your particular job. Always remember moving in and moving out requires, scheduling and additional cost. Always be prepared to lay covering over the flooring so movers don’t damage your new hardwoods.
Dust & Noise
If you are scheduled for Sand & Finish work, please note that these machines are noisy and will be loud within their immediate proximity while running. We do use a dust containment system when sanding our floors, however it is important that you recognize some dust from this process will be left on exposed surfaces. Additional cleaning for these areas, may be something you want to consider.
Drying Process & Afterwards
Stay off the floor for the recommended drying suggestion. We recommend leaving rugs etc. off the floor for 7-10 days. Add felt tips to the legs of all furniture. Post drying period we also recommend placing scatter rugs at all entrances, avoid rubber backed (these tend to discolor). Be aware of traffic that can potentially damage the floors before they fully cure, examples: pets scratching the floors, high heels, cleats etc.
Variations
Remember that variations in the floor boards is completely normal. As the floor ages, some color change will occur. This can be minimized by limiting sun exposure and by moving rugs and furniture periodically. Cracks in the floor are also normal and they will appear and disappear as humidity changes with the seasons.
Maintenance
Immediately wipe up spills and spots with a damp cloth. Vacuum or sweep at least every other week, don’t let sand and dirt build up. Clean the floor monthly with Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner, which you can purchase at HEB or Home Depot. Consult our Service Department to help you with any damages that occur.
