A lot of hardwood floor refinishing in Hurst begins with someone peeling back a corner of carpet and finding oak. Plenty of houses from the city's first building wave had wood floors that were later covered with wall-to-wall carpet, and many of those floors can be brought back for far less than new flooring.
Our main hardwood floor refinishing page walks through sanding, stain and the three finishes we use. What follows is what we tend to find in Hurst homes.
Hurst grew fast once a helicopter manufacturer moved its operations to the city's southeastern edge in 1951. The town incorporated the next year with about 2,700 residents, reached an estimated 8,500 by 1958 and counted 27,215 people in the 1970 Census (City of Hurst; Texas State Historical Association). Census estimates show about 6,200 of today's homes were built in the 1950s and 1960s, more than a third of all housing in the city. Those are the houses where oak most often hides under carpet.
When the carpet comes up, expect a ring of tack strip holes and staples along the walls, paint overspray at the baseboards and sometimes dark spots where a pet bowl or a plant stand sat for years. The holes get filled and the overspray sands away. What decides the plan is how much wood remains above the tongue. A floor close to seventy years old may already have been sanded two or three times, and once the tongue starts to show, a screen and recoat or replacement boards are the safer route. We check at a floor vent or threshold before quoting, and we tell you which result your floor can realistically reach.
Sanding and finishing steps are explained in order on the page linked above. In a Hurst home, the written quote lists:

Many of these floors have been covered, uncovered and covered again over the decades. We look for old patch boards, signs of earlier sandings and finish layers that will not accept a recoat, then put in writing which blemishes should disappear under the sander and which are part of the floor for good. Repairs are priced on their own lines, so you decide what gets fixed.

Red and white oak look alike under old finish, but a single stain can read warmer on one and cooler on the other. We identify the species before sampling, and any replacement boards come from the same kind of oak so repairs blend in. Then samples go on your sanded floor, so you approve the color on the actual wood.

FAQ
Yes. Lift a corner inside a closet or at a floor vent, where it will not show. If you see narrow boards running under the wall, there is a good chance the rooms share one wood floor. We can confirm the species and remaining thickness during a free assessment before you pull up any carpet.
Leave it alone for now. The EPA cautions that older vinyl tile, sheet vinyl backing and some black mastic adhesives may contain asbestos, and many Hurst homes date from before 1980. Do not sand, scrape or break it. Have it tested by an accredited lab before anyone disturbs it; Texas DSHS regulates asbestos work in the state.
