Assess the existing wood

Share photos after a suitable inspection area is exposed. The condition under one corner may not represent the entire room.

In-Home Consultation

Define the written scope

Separate covering removal, disposal and floor repairs from sanding and finishing. Identify who handles any material that needs specialist assessment.

Professional Installation

Plan access and return to use

Allow for inspection after the covering is removed. The final repair scope may depend on conditions that were concealed during the first visit.

The details that matter

Sanding, repairs and finish choices for Kenmore.

Full refinishing removes the old coating from wood that can safely support sanding. A compatible maintenance coat follows a different preparation process. The agreed service and your floor’s condition determine which steps are needed.

Prepare rooms and access

Step 1 Prepare the rooms, repairs and set-up

Define removal responsibilities and protect adjoining rooms before exposing the wood.

Assess and sand suitable wood

Step 2 Sanding off the existing old finish

Check the floor construction, remaining wear layer and old surface residues.

Resolve the agreed repairs

Step 3 Detailed fine sanding and filler

Inspect tack-strip holes, missing boards and patched utility openings.

Finish the edges and boundaries

Step 4 Finishing touches and clean up

Review transitions where retained carpet or another surface meets the exposed hardwood.

Approve stain where selected

Step 5 Staining the floor a different color (Optional)

Test the achievable appearance after suitable preparation rather than guessing through the old coating.

Apply the specified finish

Step 6 Applying the finish coats

Confirm the finish and care plan after the restoration scope is established.

Choose the finish with its care in mind.

An uncovered floor may retain evidence of its earlier use even after careful refinishing. Discuss the acceptable character, repair blend and finish choice before treating restoration as a guaranteed like-new result.

Answers before you book

Hardwood refinishing questions in Kenmore

Can hardwood under carpet be refinished in a Kenmore home?

Possibly. The boards, usable wear layer, old finish and concealed damage need assessment after enough of the surface can be inspected.

Will tack-strip holes disappear during sanding?

Some may need filling or board repair, and their final appearance varies. Identify the affected perimeter in the estimate rather than assuming sanding alone removes every mark.

Can old adhesive simply be sanded off?

The residue and underlying materials need appropriate assessment first. Unknown layers may require specialist handling; do not begin sanding them based only on appearance.

Can a first visit establish every repair under the carpet?

No. Concealed conditions may only become clear after removal. Ask how the inspection, additional findings and approval of repairs will be handled.

Should carpet removal be part of the refinishing quote?

It should be clearly included or excluded, along with disposal and fastener removal. Align those responsibilities when comparing estimates.

What if the exposed wood cannot be safely sanded?

Discuss a compatible recoat, selective repair or replacement where appropriate. The remaining wood and finish condition determine which alternatives are realistic.

Does dust-controlled sanding mean there is no dust?

No. Dust collection reduces sanding dust but does not guarantee zero airborne dust. Review room protection, cleanup and ventilation as part of the agreed project plan.

What workmanship warranty comes with refinishing?

Wills Flooring advertises a one-year workmanship warranty. Request the written coverage, exclusions and claim instructions with your estimate. Any manufacturer product warranty is separate.

I would highly recommend Wills Flooring! They were very easy to work with and accommodating when we had to move our installation date. We are very happy with their professionalism and the quality of the product. They replaced our entire first floor and stairs with LVP, removed carpet, leveled portions of the floor and built proper steps to code.
