"We hired Ron because we were trying to replace our carpet in order to sell our house, and for the same price that Home Depot/Lowes and Empire Today were charging for replacing the carpet, Ron was able to replace the carpet and refinish our hardwood floors. Awesome price, but even better is that, for once, it wasn't a situation of "you get what you pay for". We had two crews do the separate jobs, and they were able to do 3000 sq ft of flooring in 5 days. Both crews were very professional and very helpful. Ron is extremely knowledgeable, and his expertise in the industry helped us to make good decisions in buying the colors/quality that would best sell our house without breaking our budget, and he nailed it. Even our realtor was amazed how good it looked. The only reason I took off a 1/2 star was that the wood refinishing crew replaced the molding on the baseboards, but didn't caulk the nail holes or the join between the molding and baseboards. Ron, however, came out himself to caulk the join, but he advised that they normally do not caulk and paint the molding. I do feel that should be part of it the entire service because if you take it apart, it should be put back the same way. Other than that, I'm very impressed with the service and quality of work and would recommend them to anyone."

Customers say: Quick response

"I was somewhat up in the air on refinishing or redoing my floors all together. Lucus and Dejha were very helpful and took time to make sure that all my questions were answered about products and processes. It made it so much easier to make the decision to refinish my hardwood floors. And I am so thankful that I did. They turned out beautiful. And I never had a single issue with this company or it's staff. They were professional, affordable, communicative and hard working. I would definitely recommend this company to others and use their services again."

"Luis and his team did an amazing job refinishing all of my hardwoods and installing new hardwood in one room. He discovered that I had carpet covering up hardwoods in a couple areas and converted those areas back to hardwoods too. He is an excellent communicator and dedicated to his craft, I am beyond pleased with how great everything looks!"

"Jason & team are truly amazing. We initially contracted with them to re-do the floors throughout our new home on a tight timeline. They did a fantastic job, installing nearly 4800 square feet of beautiful flooring that dramatically re-shaped the appearance of our home. Throughout the process, Jason was flexible, responsive, and frankly just a lot of fun. We were so impressed with FCI's performance that we ultimately contracted with them to renovate all five bathrooms in our home - and once again, they were great. Jason helped us envision and design each bathroom, from a high-end primary bathroom to mid-range and economical guest bathrooms. I couldn't more strongly recommend Jason and FCI. They are a rare partner that is equal parts trustworthy and affordable."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Durham, NC

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.
