Transform Your Briargate Home with Professional Wood Floor Restoration
We bring decades of specialized flooring expertise directly to your doorstep in one of Colorado Springs’ most desirable neighborhoods.
As a locally owned company, Peak Hardwood Flooring understands the unique characteristics of Briargate homes and the specific challenges that Colorado’s high-altitude climate presents to hardwood floors.
Our professional hardwood floor refinishing service has transformed hundreds of homes throughout Briargate, from the elegant estates near Voyager Parkway to the family-friendly developments around Chapel Hills Mall.
We’ve worked on everything from the traditional oak floors in Briargate’s established neighborhoods to the exotic wood species found in the area’s luxury custom homes.
One of our recent Briargate customers, a family who had lived in their home for fifteen years, decided it was time to address the wear patterns in their main living areas. The original Brazilian cherry floors had lost their luster from years of family life, including two active teenagers and a golden retriever.
After our refinishing process, the homeowner told us that guests now regularly comment on how stunning the floors look – something that hadn’t happened in years. The transformation was so dramatic that it inspired them to host their first dinner party in over two years.
The National Realtors Association has reported that refinishing hardwood floors has the highest return of any home improvement project – averaging a staggering 147% return on investment (ROI).
Living in Briargate means you’ve invested in quality, and your hardwood floors should reflect that same standard of excellence.
Whether you’re preparing your home for sale in this competitive market or simply want to restore the beauty that drew you to hardwood floors in the first place, we’re here to deliver results that exceed your expectations.

Does Your Briargate Home Show These Signs of Floor Wear?
Briargate homeowners often contact us when they notice these common issues that affect hardwood floors in our Colorado climate:
Visible Traffic Patterns and Wear Lanes
High-traffic areas like entryways, hallways between bedrooms, and the path from kitchen to family room develop distinctive wear patterns. In Briargate’s open-concept homes, these traffic flows are particularly noticeable.
Loss of Shine and Protective Finish
Colorado’s intense UV rays streaming through large windows can break down floor finishes faster than in other climates. Many Briargate homes feature expansive windows that showcase mountain views but also expose floors to harsh sunlight.
Scratches from Active Lifestyles
Briargate families lead active lifestyles, and floors show it. From sports equipment, pet claws, furniture moves, and everyday family life, scratches accumulate over time. The sandy soil common in our area gets tracked in and acts like sandpaper under foot traffic.
Water Damage and Discoloration
Colorado’s extreme weather – from spring snowmelt to summer thunderstorms – can lead to unexpected water intrusion. Even minor plumbing issues or appliance leaks can cause water staining and warping in hardwood floors.
Creaking and Squeaking Sounds
Our high-altitude environment with its extreme temperature swings and low humidity levels can cause wood floors to shift and develop annoying squeaks and creaks, especially in homes built during Briargate’s rapid development phases.

Our Proven Hardwood Floor Refinishing Process
At Peak Hardwood Flooring, we’ve refined our process through years of working in Briargate homes, developing techniques that deliver exceptional results while minimizing disruption to your family’s routine.
Detailed Pre-Work Assessment
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your floors, identifying wood species, existing finish types, and any underlying issues that need attention. This thorough assessment ensures we recommend the right approach for your specific floors.
Professional Preparation and Protection
Our team carefully prepares your space, moving furniture when requested and establishing protective barriers. We seal off work areas to prevent dust migration throughout your home – particularly important in Briargate’s open-concept floor plans.
Precision Dustless Sanding
Using advanced dustless sanding equipment, we systematically remove old finishes and smooth surface imperfections. Our dust-containment technology captures 99% of sanding debris, maintaining your home’s air quality during the process.
Expert Wood Floor Restoration
After sanding reveals the raw wood, we address any necessary repairs, fill gaps, and prepare the surface for staining. This attention to detail ensures a flawless final result.

We offer an extensive palette of stain options, from classic honey oak to contemporary gray tones popular in modern Briargate homes. Our application technique ensures even coverage and rich color depth.
Professional-Grade Finish Application
Multiple coats of high-quality polyurethane finish provide lasting protection and beautiful sheen. We allow proper curing time between coats to ensure maximum durability.
Final Quality Inspection
Before project completion, we conduct a thorough inspection, addressing any minor touch-ups needed to meet our exacting standards.

Understanding Hardwood Floor Resurfacing as a Briargate Alternative
For many Briargate homeowners, floor resurfacing offers an excellent alternative to full refinishing. This process is ideal for floors that have lost their luster but don’t have deep scratches or significant damage.
When Resurfacing Makes Sense in Briargate
- Floors installed within the last 10-15 years that primarily need finish renewal
- Newer construction homes where floors have dulled from normal wear
- Homes preparing for sale where budget and timeline are considerations
- Properties where minimal disruption is essential
The Resurfacing Process
Rather than sanding down to bare wood, resurfacing involves light buffing to prepare the existing finish, then applying fresh protective coats. This process typically takes 1-2 days compared to 3-5 days for full refinishing.
Cost and Timeline Benefits
Resurfacing costs approximately 40-60% less than full refinishing and allows you to return to normal use much sooner. For busy Briargate families, this efficiency is often a deciding factor.
Limitations to Consider
Floors with deep scratches, significant water damage, or multiple previous refinishing cycles typically require full refinishing rather than resurfacing.

Essential Post-Refinishing Care for Briargate’s Climate
Proper maintenance is crucial for extending the life of your newly refinished floors, especially in Colorado Springs’ challenging environment.
Daily Cleaning Best Practices
Use a microfiber dust mop daily to remove the fine dust that’s common in our dry climate. Weekly cleaning with a hardwood-specific cleaner helps maintain the finish’s integrity without over-wetting the wood.
Protecting Against Colorado’s Intense Sun
Briargate homes often feature large windows showcasing beautiful views, but UV protection is essential. Rotate area rugs periodically and consider UV-filtering window treatments for south-facing windows.
Managing Humidity Fluctuations
Colorado’s extreme seasonal humidity changes – from winter’s 10% to summer’s occasional 60% – stress hardwood floors. Consider a whole-house humidifier to maintain consistent 30-50% humidity levels.
Furniture Protection Strategies
Use felt pads under all furniture legs and replace them annually. Colorado’s fine dust can accumulate on these pads and scratch floors when furniture is moved.
Seasonal Maintenance Tips
Spring cleaning should include professional-grade wood floor cleaners to remove winter salt residue. Fall preparation involves checking for loose boards that may have shifted during summer’s expansion cycles.
Pet Considerations for Active Families
Keep pet nails trimmed and clean paws immediately after outdoor adventures. Briargate’s sandy soil can be particularly abrasive to floor finishes.
