"This was a very straightforward transaction with excellent workmanship from Footy Prints. 2 floors consisting of a mix of bedrooms and a basement were completed within 2 days. This included navigating heavy furniture, taking out existing carpet and installing new vinyl flooring. Carson and team were accommodating, professional, solicited preferences with suggestions to help proper decisioning at every point. The work was completed quickly and accurately per specifications.

"Pros: quickly completed the job, did come back and use a marker to fill in areas where stain was missed. (but missed many spots the first time around) Cons: did not show up for the consult on time, pushed our job back to a different day and notified us Friday prior to the Monday they were supposed to start. They did not lock out front door upon leaving, leaving us vulnerable to theft. Certain aspects asked for like filling in the gaps between board were NOT done, with no solution provided. When I didn?t respond to a text quickly enough they just stopped over to ?repair? the floor with a marker without scheduling a time, changing our entire plan for the day. Less than impressed."

"Extremely well. Josh refinished the floors in our early-20th-century home shortly after we purchased it in the summer of 2021. We are extremely pleased with Josh's work and hope to eventually have him back to finish off the remaining rooms. I am posting this review more than a year after he refinished the floors and the wood still looks great. Thank you Josh!"

Rental sanders can address moderate surface damage, but their effectiveness depends on scratch depth and overall floor condition. Drum sanders offer the most aggressive removal capability for deeper imperfections. However, if the damage extends into the wood structure or affects large portions of the floor, board replacement by an expert might be necessary before sanding. Consult a flooring professional for help.
Always thoroughly review the manufacturer's operating instructions before starting. Wear appropriate safety gear, including goggles to protect your eyes and a respirator to prevent inhalation of dust. Inspect electrical components before each use to prevent shock hazards. Keep children and pets away from the work area, and maintain a clean space by frequently vacuuming dust accumulation to prevent slipping and to ensure you can see well.
Sandpaper requirements depend on floor size, condition, and the sanding approach. Plan to use multiple grit levels (coarse, medium, and fine) with at least one to two sheets per 100 square feet for each grit. Floors with significant damage or multiple finish layers will require more coarse-grit sheets. Purchase extra supplies before beginning because running out mid-project can cause visible inconsistencies in the final result.
