Restoring Old Floors to Their Former Glory

By Belucci Hardwood | Published: Aug 12, 2025


Many older homes in New York and Connecticut feature beautiful, original hardwood floors hidden beneath layers of carpet or wear and tear. Restoring these floors is a rewarding project that not only preserves a piece of history but also unveils a stunning, unique feature of your home. It's often more cost-effective than installing new floors and can significantly increase your property's value.

The Process of Restoration

Restoration typically involves several key steps: a thorough cleaning, repairing any damaged or missing planks, and most importantly, sanding and refinishing. Modern dust-free sanding technology makes this process cleaner and more efficient than ever, minimizing disruption to your home. After sanding, we apply a new stain and protective finish, allowing you to choose a look that matches your current style, from a natural wood tone to a darker, richer color.

Why Restore?

Restoring your old floors is an environmentally friendly choice, as it prevents existing materials from ending up in a landfill. It also preserves the unique character and history of your home. The aged patina and imperfections of old wood cannot be replicated, giving your floors a depth and warmth that a new installation simply can't match. The result is a floor that is both beautiful and full of history.
