"Chet was very polite and knowledgeable. I hired him to refinish my wood floors. He quoted me a reasonable price and let me know how long the project would take. He was done in the amount of days he said and always left the work area clean. He works with his son who is a very pleasant young man. My floors came out beautiful. Chet even advised that I have some molding replaced around my floors which I did, which made the floors look even better. I would recommend the Floor Guy to my family and friends and will be using them again."

"Tom Long is the small business owner who cares very much about the quality of service he provides. He grew up in the business, his father teaching him, and he now works with his son as well. Tom not only came in with a competitive price, but he solved several challenges along the way, unbeknownst until the refinishing install began. He saw some subflooring existed underneath the wood to be refinished, so he bought and installed the same under a new area of wood to be installed, finishing it flawlessly to match the older wood he was re-finishing. He also took it upon himself to shave off the bottom of existing doors to clear the new elevation. Gratis. And had his electrician repair a cracked floor outlet we had. He took care of EVERYTHING!! And had wonderful communication all along the way. I don't think you can have him because WE are keeping him!! But if you DO, you will thrilled with old-fashioned conscientious service!!!"

"Sam was very responsive and able to schedule, then re-schedule, us with rather short notice. As stated by many others, his customer communications are outstanding. His price for the job was surprisingly lower than many of the other flooring companies. Our job was small (1st floor and 1 set of stairs in a rowhouse) so I think some of the bigger flooring guys didn't want to invest their time unless it was financially worth it. Nothing wrong with that; we met some great flooring experts along the way. But in the end, we couldn't afford to spend $3500 for this size of job. I'll be honest, I was a little nervous about hiring the more affordable contractor, but Sam and his workers came so highly recommended, we took the risk. We're so glad we did! They showed up right on time, with all kinds of modern sanding and dust removal / air cleaning equipment. They spent the first 30-60 minutes taping up plastic sheets for dust control throughout the house. The first day consisted of sanding the floor and stairs to remove old finish and uneven spots, and filling gaps or holes (some we pointed out, some Sam found on his own and took care of). Next was lots of air cleaning and vacuuming before putting down the wood sealer. When that was dry, it was buffed out, vacuumed again, and then coated with the first of two layers of top coat. On the second day, they returned in the morning and buffed/vacuumed again in preparation for applying the final finish coat. By lunch time, everything was done and we could (but didn't) walk on it. The job site was all cleaned up and they were gone. That's it! The floor looks beautiful with an even, soft glow, but with the grain and feel of the real wood still intact. We spec'd a satin-finish water-based polyurethane for our top coats. I've seen a number of friends' poorly refinished wood floors and many have missed corners or that thing where so much wood is removed, there a slope down from the baseboards to the center of the room. Not so with Sam and his workers; you can tell they know how to do this right and are real experienced professionals. We'll be hiring them back to do the other two floors in our house soon! Highly recommended."

"These guys did wonders to my condo, they made it look so neat and modern. It is always a joy to come to such a beautiful place after a long day at work. First I had smoke damage in 90% of the living room area and the skilled workers they are took care of it and it is no longer there. They recommended the best paint for me and helped me with the colors. They refinished my cabinets in the kitchen and master bedroom and it looks AMAZING. It is so shiny with a luxury look to it. I am really thankful to these guys for making my place look so beautiful, I love it."

"I am working to restore an old house in Wilmington. I discovered that I could pull up some old flooring and expose some beautiful old pine floorboards. Leroy at Just Floors went above and beyond to do additional carpentry and refinishing to restore these beautiful floors to their former glory. Definitely recommend."

"Ron exceeded my expectations. He was very knowledgeable and very passionate about the work he does. His price was fair and he completed the work in the time he said that he would. Through each step of the process, he made sure that I knew what was going on and made sure that I was satisfied with how the project was looking. He refinished the floors in my 60 year old house and they look incredible."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Claymont, DE

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.
