Tips to remember when your floors are being refinished:

Preparing your North Patchogue home by moving furniture and anything that will be either damaged or dirtied during your refinishing process.
Furniture and accessories have to be totally moved out of the room or house (if possible). Lots of dust will be flying around and will make a mess if it comes in contact with your furniture.
Once the sanding process is done and the stain is applied, the odor is very strong. It would be advisable to either leave until the smell is bearable or temporarily move to another part of your North Patchogue home until the smell is no longer a hazard for you.
Do your research on what materials are being used
For about two to four weeks, keep your rugs and furniture off of your newly refinished North Patchogue floor. It may seem like a long time, but your finishes are slow-drying. Ask your refinishing specialist to see when it is safest to bring your belongings back.
