If you do decide to stay home, keep in mind that Mundelein hardwood floor repair does emit a polyurethane odor that some homeowners find overpowering.

This is actually a tricky question, as there is a finite amount of refinishing services that a hardwood floor can take before it needs to be replaced. Generally speaking you would have the flooring polished every twelve years, unless the amount of traffic that your floors get is increased substantially (kids or pets might do this). Your average hardwood floor measures roughly around 3/4ths of an inch thick, meaning that before the structural integrity is compromised, it can only take ten standard hardwood flooring refinishing, Mundelein, IL. To counteract this, every now and then a simple buff and cleaning should suffice.
