Maybe you have been looking at those scratches for years. Maybe the finish is worn down in the high-traffic areas. Maybe the wood looks dull and tired no matter how often you clean it.

You know your floors need attention. The question is whether they need to be replaced or whether they can be saved.

In most cases, they can be saved. And refinishing costs a fraction of what replacement would run.

Mr. Sandman has been refinishing hardwood floors in Londonderry since the 1980s. We know the homes here, we know the floors, and we know how to restore them properly.

The Londonderry Housing Timeline

Londonderry experienced significant growth from the 1970s through the 1990s, and many homes were built around 1983. Nearly 70% of Londonderry homes are single-family detached properties, and a significant portion feature original hardwood floors that are now 30 to 50 years old.

That puts a lot of Londonderry floors right in the sweet spot for professional refinishing. Old enough to show wear, young enough to have plenty of life left in them.

What Happens During Refinishing

Step One: 

Assessment We come to your home and examine your floors. We measure the thickness of the wood to make sure there is enough material left to sand. We look at the damage, the wear patterns, and the condition. Then we give you an honest assessment and a detailed written estimate.

Step Two: 

Sanding If you decide to move forward, we sand your floors down to bare wood. This removes the old finish, the scratches, the stains, and the surface damage. What is left is smooth, clean wood.

Step Three: 

Finishing We apply three coats of urethane to seal and protect the wood. Most Londonderry homeowners choose latex-based urethane, which dries quickly and has a low odor. The job typically takes three consecutive days from start to finish.

Step Four: 

Inspection Before we leave, we walk through the space with you to make sure you are completely satisfied with the work. We do not consider the job done until you are happy.

Common Questions from Londonderry Homeowners

My floors are really scratched up. Can refinishing actually fix that?

Yes. Sanding removes surface damage including deep scratches, gouges, and pet stains. As long as the wood has enough thickness remaining, we can restore it. Most Londonderry floors have plenty of material left.

How long will I need to stay off my floors?

You can walk on them lightly within 24 hours of the final coat. Full curing takes about a week, but normal use can resume much sooner. We give you specific instructions based on the finish we use.

Is refinishing really cheaper than replacing?

Significantly cheaper. Replacement involves tearing out the old floor, hauling it away, buying new flooring, and installing it. Refinishing just restores what you already have. In most cases, refinishing costs 30 to 50 percent less than replacement.
