Breathe New Life Into Your Monument Home with Professional Hardwood Floor Refinishing
Living in beautiful Monument, Colorado means enjoying the perfect blend of mountain charm and Front Range convenience. At Peak Hardwood Flooring, we understand the unique challenges your hardwood floors face in our mountain climate.
From the dry winter air to the dramatic temperature shifts, Monument homes require specialized hardwood care that preserves both beauty and function.
The National Association of Realtors has reported that refinishing hardwood floors has the highest return of any home improvement project – averaging a staggering 147% return on investment (ROI).
Just last month, we completed a wood floor refinishing project for a family in Jackson Creek, whose 15-year-old oak floors had endured years of family activity, mountain boots, and their energetic golden retriever. After our refinishing process, the owner remarked, “I feel like we have a brand new home without the cost of moving!”
With Monument’s homes nestled between Pike National Forest to the west and rolling plains to the east, your hardwood floors deserve care from a team that understands our unique local environment.
Whether you’re in Kings Deer with its expansive properties, the cherished neighborhoods of Woodmoor near its namesake lake, or one of Monument’s newer developments, our refinishing services will enhance your home’s natural beauty while protecting your investment.

Signs Your Monument Home Needs Hardwood Floor Refinishing
Visible Wear Patterns and Traffic Lanes
Monument’s active lifestyle means your floors endure plenty of foot traffic. When certain areas—typically hallways, entryways, and paths between furniture—begin showing noticeable wear compared to less-traveled spots, it’s time for refinishing.
This is especially common in Monument’s older homes in Woodmoor and Red Rock Ranch where original hardwood has served families for decades.
Loss of Shine and Luster
Colorado’s intense sunshine and dry mountain air can accelerate the dulling of your floor’s finish. When your once-gleaming hardwood no longer reflects light and appears flat despite regular cleaning, the protective coating has likely worn away, leaving the wood vulnerable to damage.
Scratches, Dents, or Gouges
From hiking boots to ski equipment to dog claws, Monument’s outdoor-oriented lifestyle can be tough on floors. Minor scratches are normal, but when they accumulate or you notice deeper gouges and dents, refinishing can restore your floor’s smooth surface and uniform appearance.
Water Damage or Discoloration
Monument’s seasonal snowmelt and summer thunderstorms can lead to unexpected water exposure. Gray or black discoloration between boards, cupping, or warping are signs of water damage that need professional attention before they worsen.
Noisy Floors (Creaks and Squeaks)
Colorado’s dramatic temperature and humidity fluctuations cause wood to expand and contract. Over time, this movement can loosen fasteners and create friction points that result in creaky floors—particularly noticeable in Monument’s older homes near historic downtown.

From the proper moisture content for wood in the 80132 zipcode to the best finishes that withstand our intense UV exposure, our local knowledge ensures lasting results for your Monument home.
Specialized Colorado High-Country Knowledge
The Tri-Lakes region’s elevation and climate create unique conditions for hardwood. Our team specializes in techniques specifically designed for homes in high-altitude, low-humidity environments like Monument, where conventional refinishing approaches often fail.

Our Hardwood Floor Refinishing Process
1. Comprehensive Assessment
Our process begins with a thorough evaluation of your floor’s current condition, wood species, and existing finish. For Monument homes, we carefully assess moisture content and acclimation, which is crucial given our region’s typically low humidity levels of 15-30% that can affect refinishing outcomes.
2. Preparation and Protection
We meticulously protect your Monument home by sealing off work areas, covering fixtures, and setting up our advanced dust containment system. This preparation is especially important for open-concept Monument homes where dust could otherwise travel throughout the living space.
3. Expert Sanding Process
Using a progressive sanding technique, we remove the old finish and surface damage. Our three-step sanding process ensures that even floors with significant wear from Monument’s outdoor lifestyle and winter boot traffic can be restored to a smooth, even surface.
4. Skilled Stain Application
If desired, we apply premium stains that enhance your wood’s natural grain. We offer colors specially selected to complement Monument’s popular design aesthetics, from mountain rustic to contemporary styles that match our area’s evolving architecture.
5. Premium Finish Application
We apply multiple coats of high-performance finishes specially formulated for Colorado’s dry climate and high UV exposure. Our finishes provide superior protection against Monument’s challenging conditions while enhancing your floor’s natural beauty.
6. Final Inspection
We conduct a thorough quality check before considering the project complete, ensuring your satisfaction with every detail.
The timeline for most Monument homes is typically 3-5 days, allowing proper curing time between coats—which can vary based on Monument’s unique climate conditions.
Most Monument homes can be completed in 3-5 days. Schedule your transformation today at 719-660-2671
Hardwood Floor Resurfacing – A Lighter-Touch Alternative
Understanding Refinishing vs. Resurfacing
While refinishing involves sanding down to bare wood, resurfacing (also called a “screen and recoat”) lightly abrades only the finish layer before applying a new topcoat.
This less-invasive process is perfect for Monument homes with floors showing minor wear without deep damage.
Ideal Candidates for Resurfacing
Resurfacing works best for floors that are still in good structural condition but have lost their luster due to Monument’s intense sun exposure.
This option is particularly popular in Jackson Creek and Promontory Pointe neighborhoods with newer construction (less than 10 years old) showing early signs of wear.
Cost and Timeline Advantages
Resurfacing typically costs 40-60% less than complete refinishing and can be completed in 1-2 days for most Monument homes.
This makes it an excellent option for maintaining your floors without the investment of a full refinishing project.
Monument-Specific Recommendations
For many Monument homeowners in newer developments like Forest Lakes or Sanctuary Pointe, we recommend establishing a maintenance schedule that includes resurfacing every 3-5 years.
This proactive approach extends the time between full refinishing projects and protects your investment.

Wood Floor Post-Refinishing Care and Maintenance for Monument Conditions
Daily Cleaning Procedures
Regular sweeping or dust-mopping removes the gritty particles from Monument’s sandy soil that can scratch your newly finished floors. For deeper cleaning, use only products specifically formulated for hardwood floors and avoid excessive moisture.
What to Avoid
Monument’s dramatic seasonal shifts require special care. Avoid excessive water, steam cleaners, and harsh chemicals that can damage your floor’s finish. During winter months, be especially vigilant about wiping up melted snow promptly to prevent water damage.
Furniture Protection
Use felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches. For Monument’s many home offices with rolling chairs, invest in chair mats designed specifically for hardwood floors to prevent wheel damage.
Seasonal Care Recommendations
Monument’s extreme seasonal variations demand adaptive care:
- Winter: Maintain indoor humidity between 30-50% with a humidifier to prevent wood shrinkage and gaps between boards.
- Summer: Use blinds or UV-filtering window treatments to protect floors from the intense Colorado sun that can fade and damage wood over time.
- Spring/Fall: These transition seasons are ideal times for professional maintenance assessments to address any issues before they worsen.
