Question 1

How much does hardwood floor refinishing cost?

Accepted Answer

Hardwood floor refinishing costs vary depending on the total square footage, the current condition of the wood, whether repairs or water damage remediation are required, and your choice of custom stain or premium protective finish. We provide clear, no-pressure in-home estimates so you know exactly what your project involves before any work begins.

Question 2

Do you offer free estimates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Silver Maple Flooring provides free, detailed estimates for homeowners in Grafton, Ozaukee County, and nearby North Shore communities. Our team visits your home, measures the space, evaluates your subfloor and wood condition, and discusses options with you directly.

Question 3

How long does hardwood floor refinishing take?

Accepted Answer

A typical residential sanding and refinishing project takes approximately 3 to 5 days, depending on square footage, whether stain is being applied, and the drying time needed between protective finish coats. We outline an exact day-by-day plan during your consultation.

Question 4

Can you match new hardwood to my existing floors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Blending new hardwood with existing floors is one of our key specialties. We match wood species, plank width, milling profile, and grain orientation. Through custom stain blending and careful feathering, we make additions or wall removals look as if the floor was always continuous.

Question 5

Can hardwood floors be repaired instead of replaced?

Accepted Answer

In the vast majority of cases, yes. Even severely scratched, pet-stained, or water-damaged floorboards can often be laced out and replaced with matching planks. Once sanded and refinished, the repaired sections blend seamlessly with the rest of the room.

Question 6

What stain colors are available?

Accepted Answer

We offer an extensive range of stain colors from natural and ultra-light Scandinavian whites to rich honey tones, deep walnuts, and contemporary espressos. More importantly, we test actual stain samples directly on your prepped floorboards so you can see how the wood reacts under your home's natural lighting.

Question 7

What types of hardwood do you install?

Accepted Answer

We install both solid and high-grade engineered hardwood across all domestic species—including white oak, red oak, hard maple, hickory, walnut, and cherry. We help you choose the right species and construction based on your lifestyle, home humidity, and subfloor.

Question 8

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

Silver Maple Flooring is based in Grafton, WI and serves all of Ozaukee County (including Port Washington, Cedarburg, Mequon, Saukville, Fredonia, Thiensville, Belgium, and Waubeka) as well as North Shore communities like Whitefish Bay, Fox Point, and Bayside.
