"Marty provided a timely quote and explained very well the buff/coat and refinishing process. He is very easy to talk to and is clearly very experienced. He and his crew were punctual and very efficient. There was absolutely no wood dust to clean up. They nicely blended the refinished bedroom with buffed/coated hallway. Marty is also very handy. While his team were working on the floors I had mentioned in passing that a newly hung door was rubbing on the new tile flooring. He offered to cut the bottom of the door and then when there was still a problem with the door closing properly, he planed the door trim. Voila! Door closes perfectly now. Marty's customer service is second to none. The floors look fantastic. I am very pleased with the work performed by Marty and his crew. I would absolutely use them again. In fact, I have Marty coming back to look at another small project."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Auburn, NY

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.
