Our Restoration Process
Our expert craftsmen follow a meticulous multi-step process to restore your parquet flooring to its original beauty and structural integrity, combining time-tested techniques with modern technology.
Assessment
We begin with a thorough inspection of your parquet flooring to identify damaged areas, loose pieces, and worn finishes. Our technicians document all issues using high-resolution photography and detailed notes.
We measure moisture content in both the flooring and subfloor to prevent future problems. This helps us determine the appropriate restoration approach. During the consultation, we discuss our findings and recommend the best restoration solutions for your specific situation. We provide a detailed cost estimate and timeline for the project.
Repair and Stabilization
We carefully remove and replace any damaged parquet pieces with matching wood species and patterns. Our workshop maintains an extensive inventory of traditional parquet materials.
Loose pieces are re-secured using professional-grade adhesives. We repair or replace damaged subflooring to ensure a stable foundation. Our team fills gaps and cracks with color-matched wood filler to maintain pattern continuity.
Sanding and Refinishing
We use specialized equipment designed specifically for parquet floors to sand the surface without damaging the intricate patterns. Our progressive sanding process starts with coarse grits and moves to finer ones.
Dust containment systems keep your home clean throughout the process. We hand-sand corners and edges for consistent results. The wood is carefully cleaned between sandings to remove all debris. This creates the smoothest possible surface for
refinishing.
Sealing and Protection
We apply multiple coats of commercial-grade sealant to protect your restored parquet floor. Each coat is allowed to dry completely before the next application.
Our sealants are selected based on your specific lifestyle needs and traffic patterns. Options include water-based and oil-based finishes for different levels of durability. The final protective coating ensures long-lasting beauty and makes regular maintenance easier. We provide detailed care instructions for maintaining your restored floor.
Care and Maintenance Tips
Proper maintenance of parquet flooring requires specific cleaning methods, protective measures, and regular professional care to preserve its beauty and extend its lifespan. Our expert team recommends following these proven guidelines to keep your parquet floors in pristine condition.
Regular Cleaning
Daily sweeping or vacuuming with a soft-bristled attachment removes dirt and debris that can scratch the surface. Use a slightly damp mop with a pH-neutral wood cleaner specifically designed for parquet floors.
Never use excessive water when cleaning, as moisture can seep between the blocks and cause warping. We recommend using a microfiber mop head for optimal results.
Wipe up spills immediately with a dry cloth to prevent liquid absorption into the wood. Clean in the direction of the wood grain for best results.
Cleaning Recommendations
Place felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches and dents. Install doormats at all entrances to catch dirt and grit before it reaches your floors.
Maintain indoor humidity levels between 35-55% using humidifiers or dehumidifiers as needed. Extreme humidity changes can cause wood expansion or contraction.
Use curtains or blinds to protect your floors from direct sunlight, which can cause fading and discoloration over time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Parquet Floor Restoration
Professional parquet floor restoration requires specialized techniques, proper timing, and expert craftsmanship to achieve optimal results.
How much does parquet floor restoration cost in San Antonio?
Parquet floor restoration in San Antonio typically costs between $5-$12 per square foot, depending on the condition, pattern complexity, and wood species. Heavily damaged floors with missing pieces or water damage may reach $15-$18 per square foot. A standard 300 sq ft living room restoration averages $1,500-$3,600, including sanding, repairs, staining, and finishing with premium products.
Does parquet floor restoration increase home value in San Antonio?
Yes, parquet floor restoration typically increases San Antonio home values by 2-5% while providing a 70-90% return on investment. Restored parquet floors are particularly valuable in historic neighborhoods like King William, Monte Vista, and Alamo Heights where original architectural features command premium prices. Real estate professionals consistently report that restored parquet flooring helps properties sell faster and at higher price points compared to homes with damaged or covered parquet.
How long does parquet floor restoration take in a typical San Antonio home?
A typical parquet floor restoration in San Antonio takes 4-7 days for a 1,000 sq ft area. This timeline includes 1-2 days for repairs and pattern restoration, 1-2 days for sanding, 1 day for staining (if desired), and 2 days for applying multiple coats of finish with proper drying time between applications. Texas humidity may extend drying times, especially during summer months when an additional 24-48 hours may be necessary before furniture replacement.
What finishes work best for restored parquet floors in San Antonio's climate?
For San Antonio's humid climate, water-based polyurethane finishes with UV inhibitors work best for restored parquet floors. These provide excellent moisture resistance while preventing yellowing from our intense sunlight. Satin or semi-gloss sheens show less dust and scratches than high-gloss alternatives. For historic homes, penetrating hardwax oils offer authenticity and easy spot repairs while handling humidity fluctuations better than traditional oil-based polyurethanes, though they require more frequent maintenance.
What warranty do you offer on parquet floor restoration in San Antonio?
We provide a comprehensive 2-year warranty on all parquet floor restoration work in San Antonio, covering craftsmanship, finish adhesion, and color stability. This includes free repair of any finish failures, pattern separation, or excessive wear under normal residential use. We also offer an optional 5-year extended maintenance program that includes annual professional inspections, touch-up finishing, and deep cleaning to maintain your parquet's beauty and integrity. All warranty services are performed by our in-house restoration specialists, not contractors.
