Flooring Restoration

With Top Industry Professionals in Austin


Even if you take great care of your hardwood floors, cleaning and polishing them regularly, years of wear and tear take their toll. Or, perhaps you’ve moved recently into an older home with hardwood floors that need more than just dusting and polishing. Either way - it’s time to refinish or restore your floors.

Flooring restoration is a lengthy and laborious process involving sanding, patching, staining and top coating. Even if you’re an accomplished DIY-er, this is not your average weekend project and is best left to the professionals. Ways to mess up your floors lurk at every step of the project.

Common Mistakes Include Uneven Sanding


A drum sander, the most common tool used for this part of refinishing floors, can be rented from most hardware stores. This large piece of equipment weighs a ton and creates a lot of noise and dust. For someone with no experience, wrangling this machine is extremely difficult and can result in scraping away too many layers of wood in spots, leaving sander-shaped impressions across your hardwood floor. They also don’t do a great job in corners and other hard to reach areas. Odd angles and uneven sanding can lead to gouges in your floor. Footprints Floors contractors are highly skilled and have more powerful, higher-quality equipment to sand floors beautifully and evenly.

Common Mistakes Include Dust


That never-ending nemesis, dust. Sanding floors creates a lot of dust particles that have to be meticulously cleaned before proceeding to next steps. If you fail to remove all those little dust specks before staining and finishing your floors, those teeny tiny bits of wood or lacquer will get trapped under the finish, ruining the smooth look you’re after. Footprints Floors contractors have the eye for detail and dedication you need to make sure your floors are dust free before anything else is applied.

Common Mistakes Include Bad Application of Stain and/or Finish


Footprints Floors has access to a wider range of products for stains and finishes than you’ll find at your local hardware store. Not only more color and style options, but higher quality formulas that last longer, dry faster and frankly look better. In addition to using high quality products on your floors, Footprints Floors contractors are trained in the best techniques for applying stains and finishes. A common problem seen in DIY flooring restoration is peeling finish. Other rookie mistakes include applying too many layers of finish without letting it dry in between applications. Instead of the sleek, shiny floors of your dreams, poorly finished floors will quickly look dull, dirty and potentially damaged.

Benefits Of Restoring Hardwood Floors


Over time, hardwood floors can tarnish and show their age. Replacing hardwood floors can be expensive, and your antique floors can become worth a lot if you take care of them. In that case, refinishing may be a better alternative to replacing your hardwood altogether.

Cost-Effective

Even if you hire professionals like Footprints Floors, refinishing hardwood floors typically ends up costing quite a bit less than installing new hardwood.

Increased Home Value

Solid wood floors are greatly appealing to potential buyers, and taking care of your floors with antique floor refinishing in Austin is a great way to preserve and add value to your home.

Increased Safety

Damaged floors aren't just an eyesore, they can also bring some big safety concerns. Splinters in the feet, for example, aren't comfortable and could get infected. Antique floors can also be uneven, which may lead to tripping or falls.

Ward Off Pests

Did you know the craters, small holes and crevices that can appear in hardwood floors are a bug's best friend? Termites, ants and decay can wreak havoc on your floors, but regularly refinishing them can seal off bugs and other issues.

What Our Customers Say

Kris has been great to work with. He is responsive, very reasonably priced and knows the market and products well. We received a quote initially, but decided to go with someone else for more of a one stop shop (Kris does not sell the flooring, but has referrals). In all honesty, we wish we had gone with Footprints and had him quote some repairs on items the other contractor got wrong.

Kris is awesome! Highly recommend! Amazing attitude, energy, care, attention and honesty!
Mahesh Bahuleyan 12/7/23 — google
Kris was great to work with and extremely helpful in explaining everything that was going to be done. Sean did a fantastic job with the installation, was on time, and very friendly. Thanks for making the process so easy!
Katherine Care 08/20/23 — google
I had been living with some worn-down carpeting on my entry stairs for years and finally decided to replace it with wood-look vinyl flooring to prepare my home for sale. Kris came out quickly to give me a quote and let me know how much to order from a supplier—the total materials and installation cost ended up being significantly more affordable than a quote I got from another company! Once the materials came in, it was quick to get on the schedule for installation, and the workers were prompt and quick to get it done. There was a small hiccup with not ordering quite enough material because of the weird shape of the landing stairs at the top, but we were able to order more and schedule guys to come back to finish that within a week. The stairs look and feel great with LVP! Don’t hesitate to reach out to Footprints Floors for your next project.

Kris and Shawn were both amazing throughout the process of redoing our shower floors to a stone pebble tile finish, and a new kitchen backsplash. Incredible attention to detail, care around other finishes, and general kindness when working through the job. 10/10 would recommend.
Ben Serbiak 08/10/23 — google
Can't say enough about how good our experience was. Chris was professional and responsive. Intaller Sean has mastered his profession. I'm particular and his work is top notch. We ran out of tile and he came back to install the last four pieces. I will never lay tile myself again.
Tim Evans 07/4/23 — google
Installed new tile on pool fountain. It was a pleasure dealing with Kris, knowledgeable & highly professional. Sean did a fantastic job on the tile. He had several suggestions that improved the project. Sean even came back on Saturday morning to finish the work, after having to stop early on Friday afternoon due to a thunder & rain storm. I plan to use Footprints Flooring on a second project in the near future.
Eric Wilson 06/14/23 — google
Kris was very knowledgeable and helpful when coming out to give us our estimate. His team lead by Oscar was amazing great communicators, professional, polite, and did great work. I recommend Footprints.

Great Job! Hired them to install laminate floors in one bedroom and it is seemless. Looks as if the original home builder had done it themselves. Great management and employees!
William Anderson 06/5/23 — google
I had Kris and his crew install some floating flooring while I was preparing my home for sale. They showed up on time and worked efficiently to get the job completed. My one dig would be that they chose to glue down the transition trim rather than use the tracks that come with it. I don't have a problem with the gluing down, but they were kinda' sloppy about it. I spent some very precious time cleaning up the excess glue, when I spoke with Kris he was very receptive to the feedback and said he would address the issue with his crew. A few days later a springy spot appeared, and another a few days after that. Kris was very consistent in taking my calls, listening to my complaints, and taking steps to correct them. Ultimately, Kris took very good care of me and saw the job through the difficulties to a very satisfactory conclusion. I would definitely hire them again in the future.

Professional, cooperative, responsive & great attitude
Fr. Benjamin Abouelkheir 04/18/23 — google
Effortless to give these guys 5 stars. Communication was top notch, as was the details in the corners. No brainer to use these guys again. Recommending them to everyone I know.
D. S. 04/3/23 — google
Footprints removed my carpets and installed my vinyl floor seamlessly aligning it with existing vinyl flooring in the attached kitchen area. Thanks for a great installation job!
Charlene Baskerville 03/24/23 — google
We used Footprints Floors to replace some sections of tile that were hollow and cracked after a bad installation (original install not done by Footprints). They were thorough, professional, and responsive, and the finished product is perfect. Highly recommend.
Tanya Streit 03/13/23 — google
Kris and his team were great to work with. The communication was top notch and the craftsmanship was excellent. The install crew was very respectful to my home. And I feel like the cost was very reasonable for what we got. They installed my LVP and baseboards. I would easily call them back for other work and recommend to others.
Dan 03/12/23 — google
The did an amazing job!! Ordered wood and they managed to complete the job really quick at a very affordable price. Shopped around for 2 months before deciding and super happy I chose them
Deivit Salazar 03/3/23 — google
We hired Footprint Floors to replace our engineered wood floors with composite. Our previous floor was installed only 4 years ago by previous owner, but the quality of the installation was so poor the flooring had multiple issues. Khris, the owner was extremely responsive from the first moment until the the project was finished. He explained the whole process, answered our questions and promptly provided us a quote. Previous companies I tried to get a quote from didn’t even show up. Footprint Floors are not the cheapest but the quality of their work and their trustworthiness is definitely worth the money. They started the job when they promised and fixed all the issues that were discovered (uneven subfloor). Mario our floor guy was very polite and always made sure to ask our opinion about any small detail or decision and explain issues he found. I would highly recommend working with them. We are already planning to bring them back for another small project we have.
Tímea Fekete-Zán 03/2/23 — google
Customer service and workmanship are unmatched, comparing to any large project I have done in the past. We had a BIG job. Our wood floor buckled throughout 2 weeks after we thought a leak was resolved. The surprise was that the prior owner of the house did not like their original wood floor so they laid another on top of it creating double demo work. We decided to move forward with wood inspired tile. The outcome is gorgeous. Every piece was laid perfectly. Communication and responsiveness were quick and professional . I highly recommend Kris and Foot prints Flooring team for any floor installation.
P. Galbraith 02/14/23 — google
Hi, I had 8 Travertine tiles replaced in my kitchen. I had original tiles for replacement. I did some grout prep work. The tiles were removed and replaced in 4 hours. I'm very satisfied. Thanks!
Joseph Aaron 02/14/23 — google
Kris and his crew did a great job repairing our floors. Would definitely use them again!
