Hardwood Refinishing in Tennessee

Anyone who has seen hardwood floors knows the beauty, warmth, and character that only hardwood can offer. Hardwood can be sanded and refinished over time to remove normal wear, unlike other flooring options.

At McCalls Carpet One Floor & Home, our professional experts can help you keep your hardwood floors looking as good as new. Visit us in Nashville or Franklin, TN. 

Does My Hardwood Need Refinishing?

This simple test can tell you if hardwood refinishing is in short order. 

Place a drop of water on the floor’s surface and watch what happens. The finish is still strong if the water beads at the surface, and your floor is fine. However, if the drop soaks in after a few minutes, your floor should be refinished soon. If the drop soaks in immediately, the floor must be refinished ASAP!
