Flooring Repair in Derwood, MD

Plenty of Derwood floors still carry a wax finish from the seventies, and polyurethane will not stick to wax, which is why a recoat can peel within weeks.

Nothing new bonds to an old finish until somebody finds out what that finish is. Testing comes first, then stripping or sanding back to bare where it's needed, replacing what has failed, and building a coating that grips the floor instead of resting on top of it.

What Affects the Cost of Flooring Repair in Derwood, MD

No prices appear on this page because every job is different. The size of the work depends on what the old coating turns out to be and how much of it has to leave. A floor that needs a light scuff and one fresh coat is a day. A floor with wax down in the grain has to go to bare wood, and that means dust control, several passes, and a wait between each of them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rub a hidden spot with a cloth and a little mineral spirits. If the cloth picks up a yellow-brown smear, that's wax. It matters because nothing modern bonds to it. Wax on wax is fine and you can keep buffing it for years. The trouble starts when a coating goes over the top, since it never grabs, and it lifts in sheets at the doorways first.

For the walk-through at the start, ideally, so we're both looking at the same boards. After that, no. Most people leave a key or a code and come back that evening. If a coating is going down you'll want to plan on staying off that room overnight and keeping pets off longer, so a job like that is easier when the house is empty anyway.
