The Art of Hardwood Floor Refinishing, Cleaning and Sealing in Summit County Homes

Whether you’re a homeowner in the picturesque mountain community of Summit County, CO, or a business owner, revitalizing your hardwood floors will certainly breathe new life into your space. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll cover the step-by-step process, the benefits of sealing, and address common concerns related to refinishing hardwood floors.

Common Hardwood Floor Concerns for Mountain Homeowners and the Benefits of Sealing

Our dry climate: Dry climates can cause wood to lose moisture, leading to shrinkage and gaps. Sealing helps maintain optimal moisture levels, preventing warping and cracks in Breckenridge homes.

Seasonal temperature fluctuations: Extreme temperature changes can affect wood. Sealing provides stability and minimizes expansion/contraction.

Colorado sun and UV: Proper sealing protects from damaging UV rays and fading over time.

Wear and Tear: You probably know enough to take off your ski boots before entering your home, but your guests might now. Chances are they get off the slopes in Keystone and walk right into your condo in Dillon, CO without taking off their ski boots. Active mountain living means more foot traffic (ski boots included!) Regular sealing protects against scratches and maintains the floor’s luster.

Pet friendly:  Proper sealing helps prevent scratches and promotes easy clean up for occasional accidents. Check out our blog from our sister company, Exclusive Cleaning Summit, on “Should your vacation rental be dog friendly?”

Let the Project Begin: Our advanced process of cleaning and coating is done in three steps:

1.  Bring out the Dirt Dragon! The Dirt Dragon is specially designed to vacuum and deep scrub your floors to remove embedded soil, contaminants, and residue. For hardwood floors that have dirt buildup or are worn from traffic and years of use the Dirt Dragon restores the finish of your flooring without needing to completely sand and refinish, or worse, fully replace your hardwood floors. Eliminating a messy and costly expense!
2. We use Tykote to prepare your hardwood floors for re-coating. Applied in a liquid state, its properties act as the bonding agent between the existing floor and the new topcoat. 
3. Seal it up! We use a water-based finish with the utmost durability and work with you to recommend the best type of sealing finish for your hardwood floors. You can choose an ambered or clean appearance with a satin or gloss finish with UV inhibitors to protect from the sun’s harmful rays. Proper sealing restores the original charm of your hardwood floors, eliminates future wear and tear, and protects against dings, scratches, and dents all while prolonging the life of your hardwood floors!

The key to extending the life of your wood floors is maintaining your hardwood floors!
