"Unfortunately cannot recommend this time around. Floors are not good. Never came back to fix anything after I paid him in full. Many calls and text messages to Marty have gone unanswered. Hired Marty and team for big refinishing job in a vacant, fixer upper 1,700 sq ft. After removing carpets, he discovered some wood badly damaged. Marty suggested painting and covering up floors with LVP instead of restoration. I had to ask the professional if he could remove damaged wood and patch in new. He did not use wood bleach to lighten stains, balked when I suggested it. The floors appear 'dry'. He said he used 3 coats but there are some areas of the floors where mop water soaks right in. There are gaps in between the boards that did not get filled with poly but then they filled in random gaps with putty. There's no consistency. There were many wood chips sealed into the poly. I found a staple left in the floor and polyed over. They cut new wood around cabinets in the dining room and left the old wood underneath (this is the biggest headache I have to fix now that the cabinets are removed). I know a lot of effort was put into the job but overall, for the price I paid, the results are unsatisfactory and the unanswered calls and texts make it even worse."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Clay, 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.
