Wood Floor Refinishing Glendale CA
Wood Floor Refinishing in Glendale, CA
Glendale sits next to Pasadena and has much of the same housing: Craftsman bungalows, Spanish Revival houses from the twenties and thirties, and a spread of mid-century homes up toward the Verdugo Mountains. The floors in those houses are usually better than the owners think. Wood floor refinishing in Glendale mostly comes down to finding out what’s there and treating it properly.
What we usually find, by house type
What Glendale does to a floor
Glendale runs hotter and drier than the coast, and an old floor can open up gaps in the dry months and tighten again when it’s damp. That’s wood doing what wood does, and we fill gaps selectively instead of chasing every one. West-facing rooms fade, so it’s worth knowing before you choose a stain, since a dark-stained floor will show sun lines differently than a light one.
When boards need replacing, we use the same species and blend the stain so the patch doesn’t announce itself. Parquet patches take more patience than strip floors. Either way, we finish the repair before we finish the floor.
While we're there
Floors often lead to other work in the same house: refinishing kitchen cabinets, wood doors, or the paneling and trim covered under Craftsman home wood restoration. We’re based in Pasadena, so Glendale is close to the shop. We also serve nearby areas, including South Pasadena and Altadena, and beyond. Our general approach to floors is on the wood floor refinishing page.
Glendale floor questions
Can you refinish a hardwood floor that's been under carpet?
Usually, yes. We repair staple holes, pad glue, and stains as part of the job. We check the wood and its thickness first.
How can I tell if my floor is solid or engineered?
Look at the edge of a board at a floor vent or a threshold. Solid wood is one piece all the way down. Engineered wood has layers, with a thin wood layer on top.
Can you replace a few damaged boards?
Yes. We match species and blend stain so the repair isn’t obvious.
