Hardwood Refinishing in the DMV & Central Florida
Hardwood flooring is extremely durable and can last for generations. However, scratches, heavy foot traffic, UV exposure, and moisture damage can take a toll over time, leaving wood looking worn and dull. Fortunately, in many cases, professional hardwood refinishing can restore your wood’s original luster at a fraction of the cost of replacement.
At Porter & Porter Floors, we have over two decades of experience in residential and commercial hardwood refinishing throughout the Greater Washington DC Metropolitan Area (DMV) and Central Florida.
Is it Time to Refinish Your Hardwood?
Is your hardwood looking a bit worse for wear? Look for these common signs if you’re trying to decide on refinishing services:
- Surface scratches or dents
- Fading or discoloration
- Loss of sheen or finish in high-traffic areas
- Splintering
- Outdated stain color
As long as your solid hardwood or engineered wood top layer has sufficient thickness (typically at least 1/8 inch for engineered wood), it can be sanded and refinished multiple times.

Our Hardwood Refinishing Process
At Porter & Porter Floors, we follow a thorough process to ensure smooth finishes, uniform color, and long-lasting protection. Here’s what you can expect:
- Inspection: We evaluate the wood species, board condition, and subfloor stability. Damaged or squeaky boards are repaired or replaced prior to sanding.
- Sanding: Using professional-grade sanding equipment, we sand your wood down, removing light surface stains and scratches in the process while minimizing dust.
- Staining: We’ll evenly apply your stain of choice—whether you want classic warm oak, a rich espresso tone, or a natural light finish.
- Protective top coat application: We seal the wood using water-based or oil-based polyurethanes. This protective layer shields your floors against daily wear, spills, and UV exposure.
