Tips to remember when your floors are being refinished:

Preparing your Northwest Harbor 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 Northwest Harbor home until the smell is no longer a hazard for you.
Do your research on what materials are being used
