When discussing interior painting jobs, clients often ask our professional house painter whether they should paint or re-finish the floors first. From my experience as a house painter and painting contractor, my advice is generally to re-finish the floors first, then paint afterward. This because sanding of floors invariably creates a ton of dust, which would then be clinging to your newly painted walls. On the other hand, It’s easy enough to cover newly refinished floors before painting.
The one exception for me is when the flooring is a pre-finished engineered or laminate floor, in which case sanding is not an issue.
