Does Florida humidity affect refinishing hardwood floors?

Yes — Florida humidity affects how floor finishes cure, so refinishing should be done with the home’s climate control running to keep temperature and humidity in the finish manufacturer’s range.

High humidity can slow cure times and affect how a finish levels and hardens. Running the AC and managing job-site conditions keeps the coating curing correctly.

We plan refinishing around climate control and use finish systems suited to the conditions, so the floor cures hard and lasts.
