Professional Floor Sanding Company vs DIY Floor Restoration


Refinishing the edges of a wood floorFloor sanding performed by experts can make your flooring installation look like a piece of art. So, there are millions of benefits you can get by using a professional flooring company to make the restoration in your house or flat. The outcome might vary, but if you want guaranteed quality, it is better to do a bit of research.

Wooden floors are different in terms of wood species, characteristics of the timber, thickness of the planks, ageing and finish, so special treatment is required for every wooden floor. An expert would have gained the knowledge through long years of working with different wood species and flooring types, so he will be aware of the best way of treating your floor. He will give you adequate advice and answer professionally all your questions concerning the sanding process.

Another benefit you will get from using an established company is the treatment of your floor with the latest technology, which needs special expertise; it is difficult and expensive to obtain on your own. Such technology is usually dust-free, so your property remains clean and tidy while the sanding takes place. For people allergic to dust, hiring someone might be the only option.

Even though sounding unbelievable at first, using the services of a floor sanding company for your project is more cost-effective than doing it yourself. Why is that so? You do not need to hire professional equipment. You don’t need to buy products such as sanding belts, or finishing products such as wax or varnish. If you want to stain your wooden floor, you would need to buy several stains to make samples and choose the best colour; a reliable company would do it for free. Also, they can mix the colours until they reach the desired shade. In many cases, you do not need to take off from work, if you make sure you are using a company that you can trust to take good care of your floor and the security of your home.  

Skilled fitters also give you free advice and assist you with your special requests before, during and after the wood floor restoration. They will advise you on maintenance tips and any problems that might occur as well as possible solutions. So, you get value for money by choosing a firm rather than doing the whole job yourself.
