Refinishing hardwood floors in New Mexico, with its arid climate and unique architectural styles, presents specific challenges. We tailor our services to the conditions found in Albuquerque and throughout the state.
New Mexico's arid climate is a primary factor in hardwood floor refinishing. The low humidity can cause wood to contract, making it more susceptible to cracking if not properly managed. We select finishes that offer robust protection and work with the wood's natural tendency to expand and contract. Our process ensures a resilient and beautiful finish that can withstand the dry conditions prevalent in Albuquerque.
Our refinishing service in New Mexico follows a precise, step-by-step methodology. We begin with a thorough assessment of your existing hardwood. This is followed by meticulous sanding to remove the old finish and any imperfections. We then apply your chosen stain color, ensuring an even application, and follow with multiple coats of a durable protective finish. The number of sanding stages and the type of sealant used are determined by the floor's condition and your desired aesthetic outcome.
