"In December of 2012 I had a fire in my kitchen, which left significant damage. I spent 4 months trying to come up with a suitable design for a complete remodel. After paying several designers for plans, and having a series of contractors give unrealistic estimates, I was losing hope. I went on Home Advisor one morning to look for someone to glaze my windows and ended up getting contacted by David Schwager from DD&G. He called within minutes of my request and came out that morning to give an estimate. As we were sitting at my kitchen table, I told him of my frustration with the kitchen. In a matter of minutes he looked around and gave me the best ideas possible, given my space. He then followed up with an estimate that was reasonable for the scope of the project (unlike other contractors who tack on extra money just because I live in a nice neighborhood). Needless to say, I was elated and we went under contract the next day.
David listens intently and works with you to create your dreams. He has incredible vision and can not only give you his ideas but can also take your ideas and make wonderful suggestions. The end result for me was something greater than I ever could have imagined on my own. I also have to admit that there were a few challenging moments (like when I changed my mind on something that I previously approved, or I had expectations that some things would be done faster than they were) however David remained the consummate professional through it all. It was a pleasure doing business with him and I am sure I will be contacting him for future services."

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.
