Flooring Restoration

With Top Industry Professionals in Waukesha / New Berlin


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 Waukesha / New Berlin 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

Our project was new tile in several rooms. Rebecca was clearly committed to the success of this project from start to finish. She was very prompt to reply to any questions, had her team on site when she said they would be there, and had no surprises on price or timing. She was clearly very personally engaged and cared about our satisfaction. I liked that she also allowed us to manage the job and save some money by doing some of the work ourselves - some contractors did not allow this. Overall, we were very satisfied with Rebecca and the outcome of this job and would recommend her to others.

We had a large kitchen remodel we were doing and when we ripped out the cabinets we realized it was some floorboards that were missing as well as a very large hole in the floor. Footprints flooring did an excellent job of lacing in the new wood and repairing the damaged floors. I would highly recommend them. Professional, courteous and very easy to work with.

Our experience with Rebecca and Footprints Floors was top notch! They did a terrific job of sanding and sealing our 120 year old maple hardwood floors and gave them new life. We are very pleased we chose them to do the work.

Very pleased with the whole experience of having my floors replaced . From the first contact Rebecca knew what she was talking about and had everything well planned. A 2 day job was done so efficiently that they finished in 1 day and showed up with no problems. Very happy.

Rebecca and her team did a beautiful job with our fireplace tile. Rebecca was easy to work with, helpful with ideas and followed through on questions. We were on deadline and she was able to have our project complete. The team who installed our tile were friendly and very thorough, staying late to ensure the project was complete! We are so happy with the outcome and would certainly recommend Footprints Floor!

It was wonderful working with Rebecca and footprints, she and her crew did an amazing job on installing LVP floors in our house. I would highly recommend footprints to anyone who wants their floors done.
Kamal Varma 04/1/24 — google
Rebecca at Footprints Floors did a fantastic job helping me (patiently), while I went through weeks of searching for the exact flooring colors to bring together my kitchen, dining room, and living room carpet. It is absolutely perfect! Becka was willing to talk me off the ledge when my search was becoming seeming impossible! She is a wonderful person and business woman! The installers she uses were also very good. They even had to shave the bottoms off 4 of my doors! But they did the job with smiles on their faces and courtesy! Thank you to all of you!
Cori Ryta 03/29/24 — google

Kelly Remondino 03/26/24 — google
Working with Rebecca was a very smooth, straightforward, effortless, and easy experience. From Day 1 she was hands on and was able to help everyway possible. The whole process for our first floor was 2 days between demo and install. I couldn't of asked for an easier process. I am beyond grateful that we went with her. She is very helpful and walks you through the whole process.
Kayla Huck 02/23/24 — google
They got my floors completely refinished in 3 days and they look amazing. Very professional and very respectful company. They made sure I liked the color before they laid it down on the floors. Would recommend this company to anyone looking to get their floors done
