FAQ: Do I Have To Move Out Of My Home When Refinishing My Floors?

In the past, hardwood floor refinishing could be an incredibly messy process, thanks to all the wood dust it would put into the air. Having to find a place to stay for a few days, along with the hassle of boarding your pets, was terribly inconvenient. Add to that the dust you could potentially be cleaning from other parts of your home, even months down the road, was enough to turn people off to the idea of ever having beautiful floors again.

The Beauty of the Automatic Dust Containment System

Thanks to our Atomic Dust Containment System by Bona, we are happy to say those days are long gone. No more will you need to worry about having to leave your home when getting your hardwood floor refinished. We will leave your home as clean as when we started because our machine sucks up all of the dust, even before it enters the air.

What are some other great reasons for using our dustless floor refinishing?

  • You won’t need to remove sensitive electronic equipment.
  • A healthier home, because we don’t need to use a harsh chemical to strip the finish from your floor.
  • No wondering about how secure your home is at night.
  • No need to seal off the room from the rest of the house.
  • Your pets will be less anxious because they can stay with you.

No Dangerous Respiratory Effects

The last benefit is certainly the most important. The government classifies airborne wood dust particles as carcinogens on its OSHA website. Because there will be zero wood dust in your home, you won’t need to worry about any dangerous respiratory effects, allergic reactions, or dermatitis.
