Your hardwood floors are one of the most beautiful and valuable parts of your home, but years of footsteps, sunlight, and daily wear can slowly take their toll. If your floors are scratched, dull, or uneven, refinishing can restore their warmth and natural beauty without the need for full replacement.
At SVB Wood Floors, we’ve spent over two decades helping Kansas City homeowners bring life back to their hardwood floors through precision refinishing and dustless sanding technology. While every project is unique, the best way to understand what your refinishing will involve is to schedule a free in-home consultation.
What Factors Influence Hardwood Floor Refinishing?
No two floors or homes are exactly alike. The overall process and timeline depend on a few key details our team reviews during your consultation.
1. The Size and Layout of Your Space
Open floor plans and connected rooms allow for continuous sanding and finishing, while smaller or divided spaces require more detailed prep and edging work.
2. The Current Condition of Your Floors
Light surface wear may need only minimal sanding, while deeper scratches, dents, or discoloration require more preparation. If your floor has water stains or pet damage, our restoration specialists can repair these areas before refinishing.
3. The Type of Wood
Different wood species respond differently to sanding and staining. Oak, maple, and hickory each have their own grain pattern and hardness level, and we tailor our process to highlight the natural character of your wood.
4. Your Chosen Stain and Finish
From classic warm tones to modern matte or gray finishes, your stain and finish selection define your floor’s personality. During your consultation, we’ll sample multiple color options directly on your wood so you can see exactly how each one will look in your space.
5. The Refinishing Method
Traditional sanding can leave behind fine dust that lingers for months. That’s why SVB uses the Bona Atomic Dust Containment System®, the cleanest, safest, and most precise refinishing system available. Our dustless process keeps your home spotless while delivering a flawless finish.

Signs It’s Time to Refinish Your Hardwood Floors
Not sure whether your floors need attention? Here are some clear signs:
- The surface looks dull or faded, even after cleaning.
- Visible scratches or scuff marks from furniture and traffic.
- Discoloration or dark patches from water exposure.
- Soft spots, uneven texture, or splintering edges.
- You want a fresh color or updated finish to match your décor.
If you notice any of these, refinishing can often restore your floors to a like-new condition without the cost or disruption of replacement.
