Hardood Floor Sanding and Refinishing - Shepherdsville to Louisville Kentucky

Your floors have a story. Sometimes that story includes dog nails, chair legs, high heels, and that one spot that always looks dull no matter how much you clean it. Sanding and refinishing is how you get the floor back, not a "pretty from far away" version of it, but the real thing. Clean grain, even color, smooth texture, and a finish built for everyday life. Louisville Coating Company's hardwood division (Louisville's Best Choice Flooring, DBA) brings decades of wood-floor experience to every refinishing job.

Hardwood Floor Refinishing Making Your Floors Look Brand New

Refinishing is the reset button when the surface is past a simple recoat.

Deep scratches, scuffs, and traffic patterns
Dull, worn finish that won't clean up
Pet wear, light staining, and discoloration
Uneven sheen across the floor
Small gaps and edge wear
Floors that feel rough or "dry" underfoot

If boards are structurally damaged, loose, or water-warped, we'll tell you straight and recommend the right fix. Sometimes that's repair first, then refinish.

The Louisville Coating Refinishing Process

Every house is different, but the process stays disciplined.

1 Walkthrough And Game Plan

We look at the wood, the condition, the edges, and the transitions. You'll get a clear plan for what we're doing and why.

2 Prep That Protects Your Home

We protect nearby surfaces, set up work zones, and keep the job clean and controlled.

3 Sanding To Bare Wood

We remove the old finish and flatten the surface so the new finish lays down even. This is where the floor comes back to life.

4 Detail Work On Edges And Corners

Corners, under toe-kicks, tight areas, thresholds. The spots people skip are the spots we finish properly.

5 Stain (Optional)

Keeping it natural is popular. Going darker is also popular. Either way, we help you pick a color that fits your space and lighting—not just a tiny sample square.

6 Finish Coats For Durability

We apply professional-grade finish coats designed to hold up to real use, not just a showroom photo.

7 Final Walkthrough

We review the floor with you, answer care questions, and make sure everything looks right before we call it complete.

Finish Options That Actually Matter

It's not just "gloss vs matte." The finish affects maintenance, feel, and how much the floor shows daily life. We help you choose based on:

Sheen

Matte, satin, or semi-gloss—each creates a different look and hides wear differently.

Traffic

Pets, kids, entryways, rentals—different situations need different durability levels.

Look

Warm and classic vs crisp and modern. The finish sets the tone for the room.

Maintenance

How often you want to worry about it. Some finishes are more forgiving than others.

What To Expect During The Project

You don't need a mystery timeline. Here's what's realistic.

You'll need to keep foot traffic off during key phases
Furniture moving is planned, not improvised
Cure time matters if you want a finish that lasts
We'll give simple care guidance so the new finish stays clean and consistent

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my floor needs refinishing or just a recoat?

If the finish is worn through, the wood looks gray, or scratches are into the wood, refinishing is usually the right call. If the finish is intact and just dull, a recoat might work. We can confirm quickly during an estimate.

Can you change the color of my floors?

Yes. Stain is optional. We'll help you choose a color that works in your lighting and complements your trim and cabinets.

How long does refinishing take?

Most projects take multiple days depending on square footage, repairs, stain choice, and cure time. We'll give you a clear schedule up front.

Do I need to leave the house?

Not always. Many homeowners stay home, but you will have areas that are off-limits during active work and curing. We'll map that out.
