Assess the existing wood
Inspect wear near the sink, dishwasher and work routes. Known leaks and damaged boards need assessment before sanding or coating.

Define the written scope
Define which appliances move and who handles disconnection. Include exposed floor areas, cabinet boundaries and any trim work in the estimate.

Plan access and return to use
Coordinate appliance return with the finish’s load and use instructions. Keep essential kitchen access in the scheduling discussion.
Sanding, repairs and finish choices for Mill Creek.
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

Agree on appliance handling and protect retained cabinets before setup.
Assess and sand suitable wood

Check the wood’s condition near high-use kitchen areas and water sources.
Resolve the agreed repairs

Review board repairs around old appliance footprints or leak damage.
Finish the edges and boundaries

Resolve accessible edges at toe kicks and retained trim within the work scope.
Approve stain where selected

Compare finish samples with cabinets, counters and adjoining wood.
Apply the specified finish

Confirm the timing and protection method for returning appliances and normal kitchen use.

Choose the finish with its care in mind.
The kitchen finish should be selected with its cleaning routine in mind. A renewed coating supports everyday care, while prompt spill cleanup and attention to leaks remain necessary.

Hardwood refinishing questions in Mill Creek
Can a Mill Creek kitchen floor be refinished without replacing cabinets?
Often, if the floor is suitable and the accessible work boundaries are clear. Discuss protection, toe-kick edges and appliance handling before the estimate is finalized.
Does every appliance need to be moved?
The required access and agreed floor coverage determine that. Identify each appliance and who handles moving and reconnection rather than assuming a blanket inclusion.
Will sanding correct old dishwasher water damage?
Not always. The source and wood condition need review, and some boards may require replacement before finishing.
Can the finish continue under retained cabinets?
Work is generally limited by the accessible footprint. Discuss what is exposed and whether any removal is part of a separately agreed scope.
When can the refrigerator go back?
Follow the actual finish’s guidance for heavy loads and use suitable moving protection. Confirm the plan before the appliance is returned.
Should the floor color match the kitchen cabinets?
It can coordinate without being identical. Compare a sample on the floor with the retained cabinetry and counters before approving stain and sheen.
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.
