Most projects take several days, not several hours
Hardwood refinishing usually includes sanding, cleaning, stain or natural finish, and multiple protective coats. The exact timeline depends on square footage, floor condition, stain choice, humidity and the finish system used. A small room can move faster than a full main level with stairs, repairs and furniture protection.
Stain and finish need time to settle
The floor may look finished before it is ready for heavy use. Each coat needs proper drying time, and the final finish needs time before rugs, furniture and normal traffic return. Rushing this step can affect the final look and durability.
What MD Flooring Solutions reviews before giving a timeline
A good estimate should look at worn areas, deep scratches, loose boards, gaps, stairs, transitions and access to the rooms. These details help set a realistic schedule before work begins, instead of promising a finish date that does not match the project.
