"I used Diedrich brothers to refinish most of our first floor and it turned out beautifully. I highly recommend them and know that you'll be happy with their work. Alex and Tom are fairly young but have the values of previous generations. They are courteous, hard-working, and reliable. They managed to fit me in so that my floors could be refinished before I moved in. Also it did not seem that they jacked up the price because of the quick turn around. I would definitey recommend that you give them a call"

"Hardwood headquarters did an absolutely excellent job. It was a pleasure working with all of them from the initial contact and quoting process all the way through to the installation of the floor. They stuck to their timing and their pricing. There were no surprises. The crew that was here were absolutely professional, polite and easy to work with. They cleaned up after themselves. I highly recommend this company!"

"My fiancé and I had hired a contractor to refinish my wood floors based on the recommendation of a friend. We had purchased a stain from Sherwin Williams because we were trying to match it to our floors upstairs and the gentleman did not like the stain. He didn't inform us of this until after he stained the floor and acted completely unprofessional during the staining process. He then sealed it the next day and told us we needed to look at it before he finished the job as the stain had clearly not been dry enough and bled through when he applied the sealer. We looked at the floor and found it didn't appear to be just an issue with the stain, but a very poor sanding job (Swirls marks and a line where the drum sander ended and edger began around the whole perimeter of the room) and just a very sloppy and careless effort on his part. There was still dust all over the walls and molding and stain not just on the bottom of the molding up over half way up and in one case on the freshly painted wall. He was set to start over, but I needed a 2nd opinion. We also had a very short time frame in which we needed the work completed. I contacted Danielle and explained this whole situation to her and expressed that I wasn't sure that the stain we picked was the only issue and didn't know if I should allow this contractor to sand our floors a 2nd time. Since he felt the only issue was the stain I was afraid that we would still end up with all the other issues and have to then do a 3rd sanding of the floors which would greatly reduce the life of the floors. I needed a professional's opinion to make sure all of this was not normal and that I was just being to critical. She explained that they were booked through the date we needed the floors done by and would not be able to complete the work for us if we decided to hire a different contractor. That being said she agreed to come to our house on a Sat for a free consultation just to give us a 2nd opinion. She confirmed my fears and even pointed out additional flaws. I was also informed that I had paid above average pricing for this low quality work. After this discussion we decided to find a different company to do the work that could complete it in the time frame needed. We would have hired Danielle, but unfortunately our schedules didn't match up. We then asked Danielle to write a letter regarding the work because the contractor refuses to refund our deposit even though he has a satisfaction guarantee and we fear we may have to go to court. Danielle was again happy to accommodate and wrote us a very detailed letter regarding the work received for price paid. Her customer service is outstanding! Although we didn't have Danielle complete the floors I saw her portfolio of jobs completed and the work appeared as outstanding as her customer service.

"Our primary living room has this obvious seam running down the middle of the room. The carpet installers told us when they looked at the room, that they locate the seam to be close to one of the walls. Instead they put it where everyone is sure to see it. Not a good look. But that's not why I rated them poorly. I have a photographing table in my basement. The installers moved it and moved it back, and broke off two of my light holders in the process. Ugh! This hardware is no longer made and now I have to hunt down replacement hardware that will cost me at least $500."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Chelsea, MI

Rental sanders can address moderate surface damage, but their effectiveness depends on scratch depth and overall floor condition. Drum sanders offer the most aggressive removal capability for deeper imperfections. However, if the damage extends into the wood structure or affects large portions of the floor, board replacement by an expert might be necessary before sanding. Consult a flooring professional for help.

Always thoroughly review the manufacturer's operating instructions before starting. Wear appropriate safety gear, including goggles to protect your eyes and a respirator to prevent inhalation of dust. Inspect electrical components before each use to prevent shock hazards. Keep children and pets away from the work area, and maintain a clean space by frequently vacuuming dust accumulation to prevent slipping and to ensure you can see well.

Sandpaper requirements depend on floor size, condition, and the sanding approach. Plan to use multiple grit levels (coarse, medium, and fine) with at least one to two sheets per 100 square feet for each grit. Floors with significant damage or multiple finish layers will require more coarse-grit sheets. Purchase extra supplies before beginning because running out mid-project can cause visible inconsistencies in the final result.
