"He was able to get the whole 2nd floor completed in a short time constraint. Clean and ductless. Workers were courteous. They were also able to replace an additional board on short notice after the 2nd floor was finished. Floors look fantastic!!"

"Tao and his team did a beautiful job refinishing the floors in two rooms in my older home. He made sure the colors matched adjacent flooring, and was able to refinish a slightly damaged part without replacing the old wood, saving me money. He was efficient and very responsive, and his team was very professional and respectful of the space. I would definitely hire them again!"

"Had one large bedroom refinished. The floor had deep scratches, some stains, and sun exposure damage. WOW - Max brought this wood back to life. To say it looks amazing is downplaying the result. More thrilled with the final product than I expected!"

"We are so glad we used Cliff and Superior Hardwood and couldn't recommend him enough. He refinished all the floors in our bedrooms and great room as well as the stairs in our home and everything looks amazing. These floors had carpet and he took the extra time to get every single staple and nail up and clearly takes pride in his work. We also had hardwood installed in our kitchen and breezeway and he matched everything perfectly and blended in the wood with our older floor. Again, top notch old school work and dedication to a craft at very reasonable prices. I wish our other contractors were as meticulous and detailed as Cliff. Highly recommended."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Cambridge, MA

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.
