"Russ was a pleasure to work with, and he did an amazing job on the extensive wood flooring throughout my home. Russ was the most responsive of the flooring specialists whom I contacted, and incorporated our wishes into a proposal quickly and without trying to push us to sand areas that really just needed a buff. The timing of our project was sensitive, as we wanted to refinish the floors in between our renters's departure from our property and our subsequent move-in, and he was able to make this happen for us. The situation turned out to be far trickier than expected when our air-conditioning system completely died and it was humid, 90-degree week; Russ and his team were undeterred, and completed the sanding despite the hot conditions in the house. The staining work could not be completed until the house could be cooled/dehumidified, and Russ completely re-arranged his work schedule to push back this second phase of the project by a week to accommodate the installation of the new HVAC. Despite the delays and issues beyond his control, Russ finished the project on time (ie before the movers were slated to arrive). The floors look beautiful; the large job was a combination of sanding/staining/coating two different types of wood, as well as buffing/coating in other areas, and all of it turned out magnificently. Russ is also trustworthy; I gave him the key to the home and was not even in the country for part of the time, and he took good care of the home. I would highly recommend RJM Flooring to anyone looking to have work done on their wood floors."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Julio and his team sanded and refinished about 2,000 sf. of 100-year-old hardwood in our home, as well as adding new flooring to match the old where we had made some changes to the structure. This included some fine detail work. They were fantastic! The crew was punctual, came with a great attitude, and did very clean work. When another contractor drilled a bunch of unnecessary holes in our floors, his crew replaced the boards with matching wood for a reasonable price and it looks good as new. Julio was good at explaining the process and keeping communication open throughout. His recommendations were good, he understood what we were going for and we are very happy with the finished result. I wish every contractor was this professional!"

Jay and company were courteous, professional and my floors look fabulous. I would certainly hire Sunwood again as his coworkers were excellent and thorough. They were also very conscientious of leaving the site as clean as possible.

Thanks for a great job!

"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."

"Project scope: refinish wood floor in short timeframe prior to moving in to an older home. Dean and his team were punctual each day, set up well to contain the dust from sanding, communicating progress and challenges and set us up for success on move in day. Floors came out beautiful and I would recommend this team highly."

"Had LHI Painting Fox our basement after a blown water heater destroyed most of it while we were on vacation. I contacted LHI to do remediation work on the basement after it’s gotten flooded. They dispatched a Bagster bag dumpster and quickly demoed all of the compromised molded drywall and insulation. They then replaced 3 rotten studs, replaced drywall, sanded everything without making a lot of dust and painted the basement in its entirety including the floor. Their lines were crisp and they worked clean. I recommend them. They are good painters."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Downingtown, PA

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.
