Hardwood floor refinishing in Bedford looks a little different than it does in cities with large prewar neighborhoods. Fewer houses here hide old oak strip under the carpet, so the floors we see are more often parquet or wood that an owner added in a later remodel.
The sanding process, finish choices and cost factors are on our hardwood floor refinishing page. Below is what we look for in Bedford homes before recommending a full sanding or a recoat.
Bedford was a small farming community until the 1950s. The Texas State Historical Association records no more than 80 residents as late as 1940, and the 1960 census counted 2,706. Census estimates place only about 18 percent of today's housing before 1970, and the homes that followed in the 1970s and 1980s were mostly built on concrete slabs and finished with carpet, vinyl or tile. As a result, the wood floors we refinish here tend to fall into three groups.
The first is parquet, popular in the 1960s, made of short hardwood strips bonded to a mesh or thin plywood base and glued to the slab. Because the grain changes direction from one square to the next, it takes careful sanding, and loose squares have to be reglued first. The second is wood installed during a later remodel, often engineered, where the wear layer decides whether sanding is possible. The third is solid oak an owner put down years ago. More than a quarter of Bedford owners have lived in their homes since before 2000 (American Community Survey), and a floor that has only been sanded once or twice usually has wood to spare.

Why choose us
2,706
Bedford residents in the 1960 census (TSHA)
Because most Bedford homes went up after 1970, carpet here usually covers concrete rather than oak. Before quoting a refinish, we lift a corner in a closet or check at a floor vent to see what is actually there. If it turns out to be parquet, engineered wood or bare slab, you hear that at the estimate, along with options that fit.
60-80°F
NWFA temperature range for wood floors
Bare wood and fresh finish both behave better at normal living conditions, which NWFA guidance puts around 60 to 80 degrees. We ask that the air conditioning or heat keep running through the job and the cure. That keeps the wood stable while it is exposed and helps each coat dry on the schedule the finish maker lists.

FAQ
Often, yes. Solid wood parquet can usually be sanded if the squares are tight and there is enough wood above the backing. Thin veneer tiles cannot take a full sanding, though a screen and recoat may still freshen them. We check thickness at a vent or threshold and reglue loose squares before deciding.
Not always. If the finish is worn but the wood has no deep scratches, gray spots or stains, a screen and recoat can bring back the sheen in less time and at lower cost. Bare, graying wood or deep pet damage means a full sanding. We test a small area and show you the difference.
