Expert Hardwood Floor Repair & Refinishing in Salt Lake City, UT
Restoring timeless beauty with multi-generational craftsmanship.
AT YOUR SERVICE
Restore the Beauty of Your Hardwood Floors in Salt Lake City
Years of foot traffic, intense high-altitude sun, and the valley’s dry air can leave your floors looking dull and damaged. We address the unique challenges Salt Lake City homes face, from historic properties in The Avenues to modern builds in Sugar House, delivering targeted repairs that eliminate imperfections and prepare your floors for a flawless new finish.
Why Professional Hardwood Floor Repair Matters for SLC Homes
Utah’s arid climate is the number one enemy of hardwood flooring. The lack of humidity can cause wood to shrink, leading to unsightly gaps between planks, while the intense UV exposure through large windows can cause fading and discoloration. Attempting a DIY repair often makes these issues worse. Our in-house craftsmen understand how to acclimate and treat wood for the local environment, ensuring repairs are stable and smooth.
A professional repair by a licensed and insured team is the only way to guarantee the structural integrity and aesthetic consistency of your floor. We don’t just patch problems; we provide lasting solutions. With our 30+ years of experience, we carefully match species, grade, and grain to make repairs virtually disappear. This attention to detail preserves your home’s value and avoids costly future fixes.
Common Hardwood Floor Damages We Repair in Salt Lake City
We’ve seen every type of flooring issue common to Salt Lake County homes. Our team is equipped to resolve them all with precision.
Scratches and Gouges: Deep scratches from furniture or pet claws that go beyond the surface finish require professional attention. We can replace individual boards or use specialized fillers for a perfect fix.
Water Damage: Whether from tracked-in snowmelt or a plumbing leak, water can cause boards to warp, cup, or stain. We assess the damage and perform targeted board replacements.
Fading and Discoloration: Sun-bleached areas common in Salt Lake homes can be corrected during the refinishing process, restoring uniform color across your entire floor.
Gapping and Shrinkage: Caused by SLC’s dry air, gaps between planks can be filled or boards can be tightened to restore a solid, cohesive surface.

WE'RE THE EXPERTS
Professional Hardwood Floor Refinishing Services in Salt Lake City, UT
Refinishing is the ultimate renewal for your hardwood floors. It involves sanding away the old, worn finish along with the top layer of wood to erase years of damage, scratches, and dullness. We then apply a new stain and commercial-grade finish, completely transforming your space and providing a durable shield against future wear. This process uncovers the pristine wood beneath, giving you a floor that looks brand new.
The Refinishing Process: From Sanding to Sealing
Our careful process, refined over three decades, guarantees exceptional performance and a sophisticated design. It’s more than a service; it’s expert craftsmanship applied at every step.
Preparation: We carefully prepare the area to protect your home and belongings, ensuring a clean, contained workspace.
Sanding: Using advanced equipment, we sand the floor down to the bare wood, creating a perfectly smooth, raw surface ready for finishing.
Staining: We apply your chosen stain color with expert precision, enhancing the natural grain of the wood and achieving your desired aesthetic.
Sealing: We apply multiple coats of premium, commercial-grade polyurethane finish to protect the wood, providing lasting durability and the perfect sheen.
Choosing the Right Finish for Your Salt Lake City Home
The finish you choose is your floor’s first line of defense. In Salt Lake City, with its intense high-altitude sunlight, selecting a finish with UV inhibitors is critical to prevent premature fading. We guide you through the options, from durable oil-based polyurethanes that offer a rich, warm amber tone to water-based finishes that provide a clear, non-yellowing coat and lower VOCs.
We partner exclusively with premium brands to ensure your floors have exceptional performance. Our experts help you balance aesthetics with lifestyle needs-factoring in foot traffic, pets, and desired maintenance levels. For more guidance on industry best practices, the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) provides technical guidelines that we adhere to for every project.
Dustless Sanding: A Cleaner Refinishing Experience
Many homeowners hesitate to refinish their floors because they fear the overwhelming amount of dust. We’ve solved that problem. Our state-of-the-art dustless sanding systems connect directly to our sanders, capturing up to 99% of airborne particles before they can escape. This technology is a core part of our white-glove service, ensuring a cleaner, healthier process with minimal disruption to your household.

I'm so thrilled with the stunning hardwood flooring Accent Flooring installed in my Salt Lake County home! Justin was a pleasure to work with, and his expertise in Engineered Flooring was impressive. The quality of their work is top-notch, and I highly recommend Accent Flooring for all your flooring needs!
Mathew was awesome, worked out a elevation problem between two rooms with a ramp system that is barely noticeable. Very impressed with his skills and the floor looks great!
Thanks to the crew at Accent Flooring for a job well-done! Our experience started with Sarah's knowledge and expertise in the showroom. Then, Justin measured and gave input to the design, including installation of heat mats under the flooring in one room. Wade laid out and wired the mats and Paco worked tirelessly to get the LVP installed in two rooms in one very long day. Thanks again to all, especially Paco, who amazed us with his boundless energy.

We recently worked with Accent Flooring. Justin and his team were great. We are happy we chose Accent Flooring
Best flooring company out there no question! You can’t go wrong hire them they are incredible especially Wade.
Wade was friendly, capable, hardworking and a master at his craft. He even went above to help tweet another task. Highly recommend.
Accent flooring squeezed us in to accommodate houseguests, and Accent Flooring, Sergio in particular, really delivered. Sergio was alone here on the job, he problem solved some issues that could have caused major delays, stayed late and got the job done! Sergio is a great representative of Accent Flooring. It’s the third time Sergio has worked in our house and we would welcome him back anytime!
I had a great experience with Justin at Accent Flooring. We needed some help with our flooring at our home in Plain City (Weber County). The staff was professional and courteous. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for these services!
I have used Accent flooring for all of my customers for 15 years . Always does a fantastic job . Never any complaints.
We worked with Justin and what a great experience. Such a great guy with a lot of passion. Highly recommend.
I had the pleasure of working with Steve at Accent Flooring in Midway. I’ve used them in the past and decided to use them again. They installed stunning hardwood flooring and fun carpet in my new home, and I couldn't be happier with the result. The quality of the work is exceptional, and the team is professional and courteous. I think I will have them come back and add rubber floor when we convert a bedroom into a home gym. I highly recommend Accent Flooring for all your flooring needs!
We are a Custom Home Builder in Park City. Accent flooring is by far the best in the business!
I would highly recommend Accent Flooring 100%! We had another company come and sand/ stain our hardwood floors and they completely ruined the floors (didn't sand correctly, the stain pooled in places, the chemicals dripped down the stairs, awful color outcome, I could go on and on). THEN we met Steve from Accent Flooring who gave us confidence that the floors were not done correctly AND can have our ideal outcome. He squeezed us in and they were done in three days. The workers were respectful, worked hard, and did one amazing job! The sanding mess was minimal also. Our floors look perfect!!!
If you want a job done right the first time this the place to go. Lots options for installers but the cheap price usually ends with more costs down the road. I’ve seen several homes Accent has installed in the Park City area that are nothing shy of personal and quality work. Will definitely use again and recommend to anyone.
Fantastic job by these guys. They have very hard workers. Got my entire home done in two days. Their workers take 10 minute breaks to eat and they work all day. Quality work. Thanks guys.
My job included patching and refinishing my hardwood floors. The results were beautiful. Israel did the complete job in three days. He worked carefully and knowledgeably. I would recommend this company to everyone.
My floor looks amazing!! The whole process was seamless from estimate to finish! Steve and his team are awesome to work with. My house stayed clean through the whole process, they were respectful, efficient and fast!
My wife and I have used Accent Flooring for various flooring needs over the last 10 years. Recently, we had our hardwood floors refinished, and from the courteous and professional estimate give to us by Steve, to the fantastic job their installer Israel did, we are very please all around with the process and result. Highly recommended!
Accent Flooring refinished our kitchen floor beautifully. We were concerned about the transition from the living room hardwood to the kitchen, and whether the color and finish would match. It is perfect! No one would know it wasn’t all done at the same time. I highly recommend their work and Steve Murdoch’s attentiveness to detail.
We love how our floors turned out. We bought an existing home and decided to keep the original hardwood floors. Accent flooring was able to match the same wood, add it to another room and then completely refinish all the floors. They are beautiful and the end color is exactly what we wanted. It updated the entire house.
Had an amazing experience with Accent Flooring Pro! They were on time, and respectful of our time. The work was high quality, and they exceeded my expectations! They were very professional and worked with me to get the flooring exactly how I wanted it. The workers were polite and quick! Would definitely recommend!!
Accent Flooring (formerly Workman Flooring) did a beautiful job on our kitchen and bathroom floors. They paid attention to details making sure each cut was perfect. They spent extra time on transition pieces and around difficult edges. They showed up on time and spent time cleaning everything up when they were finished. They made sure that I was happy with the project. I would highly recommend Accent to anyone. Staff is great. Showroom is helpful. They do a quality job and are true craftsman.
We had an amazing experience with Accent flooring. This is our second time using them for work at our house and both times have been awesome.
My daughter filled the tub, walked away and then forgot the water was running, which resulted in flooding half of the main floor. It completely saturated the existing floor coverings and ruined all the floor boards. It was a mess. Accent flooring came to the rescue. They helped me find replacement LVP at an affordable price. They were professional, friendly and responsive. They have a great staff and truly understand the art of customer service, something that so many businesses have lost. I would highly recommend using them for any flooring needs. They're fantastic!
We could not be happier with Accent Flooring, the end result should be a picture on Pinterest! They worked around our schedule for install, the worker was on-time daily, worked a hard day and was trustworthy- he was in my home alone for days at a time! They matched my existing maple , replaced a few water damaged boards and added more to my livingroom. These guys are the masters, I showed them a picture of what I wanted and they hit the mark to a T! I will use them again for a remaining bedroom and I’ve already referred them to 2 people.
Quality floor/craftsmanship that looks wonderful through the years.
Worked with Justin, had sold Pine floors refinished, His crew did a fabulous job!! On time !!! as advertised. !! would use them again in a heartbeat

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Salt Lake's dry climate affect my hardwood floors?
Salt Lake City’s arid climate causes wood to lose moisture and shrink, leading to gaps between floorboards, especially during the dry winter months. Using a whole-home humidifier can help maintain stable conditions. During our consultation, we assess your home’s environment and recommend products and practices to ensure the long-term stability of your repaired or refinished floors.
When is the best time of year to refinish hardwood floors in Salt Lake City?
Spring and fall are ideal times to refinish floors in Utah. These seasons typically have moderate humidity levels, which allows the finish to cure properly without drying too fast (as it might in summer) or too slow. However, with modern climate controls, we can achieve exceptional results year-round.
How much does it cost to refinish hardwood floors in the Salt Lake City area?
The cost varies based on total square footage, the condition of the wood, and the type of finish selected. Generally, refinishing is significantly more affordable than a full replacement. We provide detailed, itemized quotes during our free in-home estimate so you know exactly what to expect.
I live in a historic home in The Avenues. Can you match my original flooring for a repair?
Absolutely. We specialize in working with the unique materials found in Salt Lake City’s historic neighborhoods, like The Avenues and Federal Heights. Our multi-generational expertise includes sourcing and matching aged wood species, stains, and plank widths to ensure repairs are historically consistent and blend smoothly with your existing floors.
Are permits needed for floor refinishing in Salt Lake City?
For standard repair and refinishing projects, building permits are typically not required by Salt Lake City or the County. However, if the project involves structural changes, such as removing walls or altering subfloors, a permit may be necessary. We can advise you on any requirements during our consultation.
How long does the refinishing process take?
A typical refinishing project for an average-sized area (around 500-800 sq. ft.) takes about 3-5 days. This includes sanding, staining, and applying multiple coats of finish, with adequate drying time between coats. We provide a clear project timeline with every estimate.
