"Aaron Gonzales arrived on time each day and the floor ready for its first coat quite soon; the finished job was exactly what we wanted and with no dust! He even put a finished piece in an area that needed it but that we'd forgotten it was there. Now it looks nicely finished. Anyone needing refinishing or even replacement of floor pieces should get Gonzale Hardwood Flooring Company to do the job!"

Small jobs welcome

Offers commercial services

I have been painting commercial, residential, and custom over 20 years and am a journeyman in flooring. Me and my kids and cousins work together. For large jobs requiring license and bonding we can provide but prices will be higher. If you want those small faux finish custom jobs or just small jobs the contractors don't call you back for- please give us a try. I have references, pictures, and videos for before and after.

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Carmel By The Sea, CA

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.
