"Greg was very professional and was very responsive. They did a nice job finishing the floor and helped us pick out a shade that met our needs (all of the stains looked too similar to the untrained eye). Greg also refinished the quarter round trim as the wood color was significantly different from our original floor. I would definitely call Greg again if we needed our floors finished again."

"Absolutely phenomenal experience with a locally-owned company. From start to finish the team was polite, provided service on-time, and did a phenomenal job with everything from helping me choose new carpet, to tear down, to install and clean up. I wouldnâ t use anyone else for my flooring needs after working with the team at FCI."

"Masterline did an amazing job refinishing our wood floors! Ian also laid new wood floors in two more rooms and tied into the old floors. Custom trim around the fireplace looks amazing. Great workmanship and a fair price!"

"Jarrett is awesome.. he completed 3 property remodels for me between 2021 and 2022.. this included demo, full electrical and plumbing to code, removing load bearing walls to open up the space, full kitchen and bathroom remodel, tiling, drywall, flooring, painting and finishing.. Best part is I was remote and was able to trust him end to end for all materials and labor. His strengths are timeliness, planning, communication and strong work ethic including in many cases to outsource a job to someone else to save me money."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Carter Lake, IA

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.
