Bring Old Floors Back to Life

Hardwood floor restoration and refinishing services in Southern Oregon that repair damage and restore the original look.

When hardwood floors are scratched, faded, or damaged, refinishing can restore their appearance without the cost of replacement. Wells Family Construction LLC provides floor restoration services throughout Medford and surrounding areas, repairing worn boards, sanding away surface damage, and applying new stain and finish that protects the wood and brings back its color.

The service includes repairing loose or damaged boards, sanding the surface to remove scratches and finish buildup, and applying stain matched to the original color or updated to your preference. A protective topcoat is then applied to seal the wood and resist future wear.

If your floors in Medford, Grants Pass, or Southern Oregon are showing years of wear or damage, contact Wells Family Construction LLC to schedule an assessment and discuss stain and finish options.

What Happens During Floor Restoration

The process begins with an inspection to identify boards that need repair or replacement and to determine how much material can be sanded away without compromising the floor. In Gold Hill, Wells Family Construction LLC removes furniture, repairs subfloor issues if present, and uses drum and edging sanders to remove the old finish and level the surface.

Once sanding is complete, you will see smooth, even wood with no scratches or finish residue. Stain is applied if color correction is needed, followed by two to three coats of polyurethane or oil-based finish that dry to a hard, protective surface.

The service does not include moving large furniture or appliances, and rooms must be cleared before work begins. Drying time between coats typically adds two to three days to the project. Floors are ready for light foot traffic within 24 hours of the final coat, and fully cured within one week.

Questions Homeowners Ask Before Refinishing

Most questions about floor refinishing involve process details, timing, and whether existing damage can be repaired.

How do I know if my floors can be refinished?
If the floorboards are solid hardwood and at least three-eighths of an inch thick, they can usually be sanded and refinished. Engineered flooring with a thin veneer layer may not have enough material to sand.
What types of damage can be repaired?
Scratches, dents, water stains, and faded finish are addressed through sanding and refinishing. Boards that are cracked, cupped, or severely warped are replaced before sanding begins.
How long does the refinishing process take?

Most projects in within Medford and surrounding areas take three to five days, including sanding, stain application, and topcoat drying time. Larger rooms or intricate layouts may take longer.

Can the stain color be changed?
Yes, you can choose a lighter or darker stain, or match the original color. Samples are applied to a small area before the full floor is stained to confirm the result.
Will refinishing create a lot of dust?
Sanding generates dust, but equipment with dust collection systems is used to minimize airborne particles. Plastic barriers are placed over doorways to contain dust within the work area.
