  Hardwood screening is usually used when the damage to the floor is not sever, and all that the floor need is shallow polishing and renew. The screening process removing only the wood floor’s finish layer, without cutting deep into the wood itself. It is important to note that it is not recommended to screen a wood floor that have been waxed. We offer all types of refinishing in Thousand Oaks, including Screening.

  When should I screen and when should I sand?

  It is mostly depend on the condition of your wood floor. If your wood floor is in really bad condition, and the damage to the floor reached the wood itself, screening will not be enough for you, since you need a more aggressive tool, to go deep into the floor, and will smooth and equal the board. Since it is going Depp, and involve more tools and require more time, it will cost more, and will take more time to complete the job.

You may know someone who refinished his floor by DIY, or you may searched online and leaned that it is not that difficult, but we can tell you one thing: It doesn’t matter if it is a wood floor sanding in Thousand Oaks, or a new flooring in LA, things aren’t as simple in real life as they may seem on a youtube Video that teach how to refinish your wood floor by yourself. Remember, no 2 wood floors are the same, and the refinishing you saw online may not work for your wood floor.
