Hardwood Flooring Installation & Refinishing FAQ for Indianapolis Homeowners

How often should Indianapolis homeowners get hardwood flooring installation & refinishing?
Given Indianapolis's severe thunderstorm and tornado risk from march through june, most homeowners benefit from hardwood flooring installation & refinishing at least once a year. Post-storm hail and wind damage inspection (spring and summer) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Indianapolis most need hardwood flooring installation & refinishing?
Brick ranch and split-level homes (1950s–1980s dominant) and Victorian homes in Irvington and Fountain Square are the most common home types in Indianapolis and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
Solid hardwood vs. engineered hardwood — what's the difference?
Solid hardwood is milled from a single piece of wood and can be refinished many times. Engineered hardwood has a real wood veneer over plywood, handles moisture better, and can go in basements. Engineered can typically be refinished 1–3 times.
Can hardwood floors be installed over concrete?
Solid hardwood cannot (moisture risk). Engineered hardwood can be glued or floated over concrete, making it ideal for slabs and basement levels.
How often do hardwood floors need refinishing?
Every 7–15 years depending on traffic, finish type, and maintenance. You'll know it's time when the finish is dull, scratched through, or impossible to restore with cleaning.
How long does floor refinishing take?
A typical 500 sq ft area takes 2–3 days including sanding, staining (if desired), and applying 2–3 finish coats. The floor needs 24 hours between coats.
