We did this job a while ago, but I just found these pictures. This is 2.25 maple hardwood floors in a old 1920s house in South Minneapolis, close to Hiawatha. They had paint on them and I really didn’t know if we could get the paint off. It was only one room, the rest of the floors didn’t have paint on them. But as you can see from the picture we got the paint off and they actually cleaned up nice. I really don’t like to remove paint because it takes a lot of low grit paper to get through it and it is really dirty to sand through. But, if the situation comes up, then you have to try to do your best. Plus, if it is lead base paint it is dangerous to sand. We ended up using a water base finish on this maple floor.
