"This company is a hidden Jim. I was seeking a company to correct problems. I was having with him squeaking and popping in my floor upstairs. The owner came and quickly diagnose the problem. He explained what it would take to fix it and gave me a quote. He came in and performed the job much more quickly than anticipated. He didn?t have me calm and test the floor repair. I literally jump across various places on the floor to try to hear the cracking squeaking sounds but they were all gone. The owner was able to pull back the carpet in three rooms, address the areas where the builder missed the floor choice and screwing down the flooring. They were able to face the carpet right back. They even did some extra areas that had a little bit of disconnect and or weakness. It was a tremendous job done and a very professional matter and for very reasonable price. I will definitely be using this company services again as They are very professional, capable and efficient."

"Planet hardwood did a wonderful job, though tearing out old hardwood was an unexpected difficult task. Nevertheless the guys persevered and got the job done. Impressed with the installed hardwood .... high quality and can be refinished multiple times even though the product is engineered. Our new floors look great and we are highly satisfied. Would recommend Planet Hardwood without reservation."

"Max and his team did an excellent job on our floors! Our house was a combination of hardwood and carpet. We wanted to get rid of the carpet and go completely to hardwood. They ripped up carpet and replaced it with new hardwood. Then they sanded and refinished existing and new hardwood to match. We are extremely pleased with the job that they did! Floors look great and Max was trustworthy and very considerate and patient with us while we decided what to do. I would recommend Max to anyone!"

"Very impressed with quality of work. We actually had heart pine floors refinished after almost 30 years. Mendez did an excellent job and we are already asking him to travel to our vacation home to refinish floors there. Price was in line with my researched expectations and quality exceeded expectations."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Athens, AL

The hardest wood floor finish is aluminum oxide, but it only comes on prefinished boards. If you want something durable you can add after installation, acid-cured is your best bet. The key to the longevity of any type of wood floor is a maintenance coat when a traffic pattern begins to show in high traffic areas.

Moisture-cured urethane is the most durable finish for homes with pets. However, It contains a lot of (VOCs) that can aggravate pets and people, especially at first. If you’re looking for a low-VOC alternative, water-based polyurethane is your best bet.

Bona sells several highly-rated polyurethane hardwood floor finish products, typically through small, local distributors. Brands like DuraSeal or Minwax also rank well for durability and ease of application. They are available at businesses such as Walmart and Amazon.

You have to seal unfinished hardwood floors to protect them from scratches and stains. The frequency depends on the type, but in general it’s ideal to refinish them between four and six times in their lifetime. This comes out to about every seven to 10 years.

Refinishing hardwood floors costs $1,100 to $2,400.

Wood stain adds a color to the surface. A finish adds a level of shine (e.g. matte, low-gloss, high-gloss) and seals the grain to protect against damage. Some companies, such as Minwax, offer products that do both at once.
