Hardwood Floor Refinishing

There’s something timeless and elegant about hardwood flooring. It adds warmth, character, and value to any home. But over time, even the most beautiful floors begin to show signs of wear—scratches from everyday use, fading from sunlight, and dull patches that steal away the shine. That’s where we come in.

At Kirkpatrick Maintenance & Services, we provide expert hardwood floor refinishing in San Francisco to restore your floors to their original beauty. If your wood floors are looking tired or outdated, refinishing them can breathe new life into your space—without the need for a full replacement.

Hardwood is one of the few flooring options that can be restored rather than replaced. Refinishing gives your floors a second life and saves you from the expense and disruption of starting from scratch. Here are just a few benefits of refinishing:

• Removes scratches, dents, and scuffs
• Eliminates discoloration and water stains
• Refreshes the finish for a clean, modern look
• Allows you to change the stain color if desired
• Boosts property value and appeal
• Costs significantly less than a new floor

If you’ve been living with floors that feel dull or damaged, it might be time to sand down hardwood floors and start fresh with a smooth, updated finish.

Not sure if your floors need refinishing? Here are a few common signs:

• Deep scratches or gouges in the wood
• Areas that have lost their finish entirely
• Warped or splintering boards
• Discoloration from water or sun exposure
• A dull, lifeless appearance
• Visible wear patterns in high-traffic areas

If you’re noticing any of these problems, a professional refinishing job can restore the look and durability of your wood flooring.

Refinishing isn’t just about slapping on a coat of stain. It’s a detailed process that requires precision and care—and it starts with understanding your flooring’s unique condition. Here’s what to expect when you work with us:

1. In-Home Consultation

We begin by visiting your home and evaluating your floors. We’ll talk with you about your goals, the current condition of the wood, and options for finishes or stain colors.

2. Sanding Down the Floors

To remove scratches, stains, and the old finish, we sand down hardwood floors using professional-grade equipment. This step creates a clean, even surface for staining and sealing.

3. Staining (If Desired)

Want a new color or tone for your floors? We offer a wide range of stain options to match your home’s style—from natural and light oak to rich, dark walnut.

4. Sealing and Finishing

Finally, we apply a high-quality finish to protect the wood and enhance its appearance. You can choose between matte, satin, semi-gloss, or high-gloss sheens depending on your style preference.

San Francisco homes often feature original hardwood flooring—sometimes decades or even a century old. Refinishing these floors requires a careful touch and an understanding of both historic and modern materials. We’re proud to offer refinishing services that respect the unique character of Bay Area architecture while updating the look and durability of your floors.

Whether your home is a classic Victorian, a cozy bungalow, or a contemporary condo, we adapt our refinishing approach to suit the space. That means you get results that are not only beautiful but also in harmony with your home’s personality.
