Should I refinish or replace my hardwood floors?

If the boards are solid and the damage is on the surface, refinishing is usually the better value. If the floor has widespread water damage or has been sanded too many times, replacement may make more sense. We give you an honest recommendation during the in-home visit.

Can engineered hardwood be refinished?

Often, yes. It depends on the thickness of the real-wood top layer. Knockout Interiors checks the wear layer before recommending a refinish.

Can you change the color of my floors?

Yes. A full sand and refinish takes the floor back to bare wood, so you can choose a new stain color.

Can you repair just a few damaged boards?

Yes. We replace damaged boards and match the species and color as closely as possible. On older floors an exact match is not always possible, so refinishing the whole room after a repair gives the most even result.

Is the repair covered by insurance?

If the damage came from a covered event such as a leak, it may be. See our insurance restoration service for how we work with insurance claims.

Hardwood Floor Refinishing & Repair Memphis

Knockout Interiors

Overview

Knockout Interiors refinishes and repairs hardwood floors across the Memphis metro from our Millington, TN showroom. We sand and refinish worn floors, change stain colors, recoat floors that only need a fresh finish, and replace damaged boards. Insured and warranty-backed. Call (901) 872-8940 to schedule a free in-home visit.

Real hardwood can be sanded and refinished many times over its life, which is one of the best reasons to own it. If your floors are scratched, faded, or a color you no longer like, refinishing can bring them back for far less disruption than a full replacement. Knockout Interiors refinishes and repairs hardwood in Memphis, Millington, Bartlett, Germantown, Collierville, and the surrounding communities.

Hardwood Floor Repair

Scratches, pet damage, water stains, and cupped boards do not always mean a new floor. We cut out and replace damaged boards, matching the species and color as closely as possible, and then refinish so the repair blends in.

If the damage came from a leak or another insured event, see our insurance restoration service.

Refinish or Replace?

If your floor is beyond refinishing, we also install new solid and engineered hardwood. Read our hardwood guide to compare your options.

Materials

What Hardwood Services Does Knockout Interiors Offer?

Sand & Refinish
Sanding removes the old finish and surface wear down to clean wood, then new stain and protective finish coats are applied.
Stain Color Change
Refinishing is the time to change your floor color, from a light natural look to a deeper tone or the reverse.
Recoat
Floors with light surface wear and no deep scratches can often take a fresh finish coat without a full sanding.
Board Repair & Replacement
Damaged, cupped, or stained boards are cut out and replaced, with the new boards matched as closely as possible to the existing species and color.
Engineered Hardwood
Engineered floors with a thick enough top layer can be sanded and refinished. We check the wear layer before recommending it.

Process

How Does Knockout Interiors Refinish Hardwood?

In-Home Assessment
A Knockout Interiors team member checks the wood type, finish, wear, and any damaged boards, and tells you whether the floor needs a recoat, a full refinish, or repairs.
Repairs First
Damaged boards are replaced and gaps addressed before any sanding, so the repaired areas are refinished with the rest of the floor.
Sanding
The floor is sanded through progressively finer grits to remove the old finish and surface damage.
Stain
Choose your stain color with us before it goes on, from a light natural look to a deeper tone.
Finish & Walkthrough
Protective finish coats are applied, and we walk through the floor with you and explain when it is ready for furniture and foot traffic.
