"Our last coat (3rd) of polyurethane went on today and we literally just spent 15 minutes walking around our house and admiring the absolute beautiful job that Best Choice did with our floors. Easily the best upgrade to our home we could have done. Other companies that quoted us said that they would not be able to get the bevels out of the pre treated boards installed in our house or get the color we wanted because of that. Best Choice Flooring not only was able to achieve that beautifully but at also a competitive price. Already recommending them to family and friends."

"Steve did an amazing job in installing new flooring in our dinning room and refinishing the remainder of the ground floor. He did a great job in matching the color of the new and old floor. We've used him twice and we would highly recommend his work."

"We just had our hardwood floors refinished by Revive & Restore. They did an absolutely fabulous job! We have an unusual hardwood called Lyptus (a type of eucalyptus tree) thourghout most of our main level, about 1000 sqft. The wood is very dense and looks a lot like Brazilian teak. We wanted it refinished as it had a very orange red stain on it. They sanded it and it looked really good but we found that there was a lot of pink in the wood. We didn't want to go from orange to pink so they bleached the wood and it lightened it enough that the pink was gone. After some testing they came up with the most beautiful stain color that transformed our floors into this glorious light honey color. It is exactly what we wanted! I have seldom been as impressed with contractors as I am with them. Paul and Jolene, thank you so much for your professionalism and kindness and for getting it done right! We are going to use them for our steps next and recommend them highly!"

"Every step of the process was seamless with the Just Floors Team. We received an estimate fast, was competitively priced, technician was thorough, and the end product is beautiful. We started with a water damaged section of flooring in kitchen, but we then decided to sand and refinish rest of main floor. We had pre-finished hardwood flooring with 3 different finish colors, gaps in certain sections, and sections were worn out. Leroy was great at working around our family needs during the renovation process. He communicated every part of the process and did a great job presenting the options for the finished product. Leroy has an extraordinary passion for his work, making sure every detail was perfect. There hasn t been a company that I can recommend more than the Just Floors team. We cannot thank them enough for working with us during our renovation."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Dover, 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.
