"Great experience from the first call to the finished product. Outstanding service, communication, and work done. I called for a quote a few months ago and set up an appointment. Sara took my call. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I had two appointments with Jon - the estimate and the stain sample. He made a very good first impression. He was friendly and personable. He answered all my questions and communicated the plan to me very well. After I accepted the quote, he came back for the stain sample. He was timely and quickly sanded down an area of the floor to show me the options. He gave me his knowledgeable opinion of the best options based on my wants and needs. I appreciated that he took those extra few minutes to talk through the options as I was unsure which stain to choose that would best blend with existing wood floor stains. We ended up going with the stain he suggested and weâ re very happy with the choice. Josiah and another contractor came to do the job. They were timely and got down to business right away. Josiah was a great lead on the project. He was friendly, answered all my questions, and kept me posted on progress throughout the three days of the job. The crew did a fantastic job refinishing the floors and installing transitions and new baseboards. They left the place clean and didnâ t leave any garbage or scrap materials behind. After they were done, Josiah reported some minor damage to a set of blinds and a wall. Sara later asked how Wisconsin Wood Flooring could make that right. As the damage was minor, I declined any repairs but appreciated the honesty from the crew and offers to repair. When we returned to our home to see the finished product, we were incredibly happy with the result. As there was previous damage to the floors, we expected it to be imperfect, but the crew exceeded our expectations. The floors, transitions, and baseboards looked fantastic! After the work was done, Sara followed up to offer information on flooring care and to answer any questions I had. The communication and level of professionalism throughout the project was incredible. I would recommend this company to any friend or family member."

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.
