"We loved working with Todd and the crew at Footprints Flooring on our new home. We had original white oak floors under all the carpet and laid new red oak floors in the rooms that did not have hardwood (not knowing the other floors were white oak). They were very efficient and communicative through each step of the process and helped us pick the perfect stain to blend our mixed woods through the house. They also cut in heating vents and flush mounted vent covers and repaired a few damaged boards we had. We went with the Invisible 2 step hardener finish. It all turned out so beautiful! Thanks again!"

"All I can say is "Wow!" Steve was so professional! The job is the best ever. The floor looks brand new. The scratches, spots, and warp are gone. Steve was quick, polite, and knowledgeable. If the floor needs to be refinished in the future, I'll definitely call McDowell's. He even cleaned up after himself! This is a professional I can highly recommend!"

"LaZell and his crew did an amazing job on my 122 year old hardwood floors. The job turned out to be harder than expected and they put in the extra time and effort without complaint or extra charge. The floors look absolutely fantastic and I couldn't be happier. Very professional, easy to work with, and great communication. Highly recommended!"

"I contacted Lazell about refinishing my floors. He came to my house, discussed the project, and sent me a written estimate within a few days. I selected Finished Floors and Installations because of the price and the confidence that Lazell exuded. He began the job as promised and finished it in a timely manner. I am very impressed with the quality of the workmanship. I highly recommend Finished Floors and Installations."

"This was our first experience using Elysium to complete both
interior and exterior painting and repair work. Initially we had only
contracted them to do work on the exterior, being satisfied with the level of
detail and the likability of the crew that we worked with, we opted to sign on
for additional work on the interior of our house.
Exterior: Being new homeowners we wanted to make sure that we were being thorough and getting
the most longevity out of the work that we were investing in. The estimator
that Elysium sent out was very knowledgeable and pointed out failures in the
existing paint job as well as several wood repairs that several other
estimators had failed to recognize.
  There were areas of rotten wood concealed by paint, the estimator did
what she called a ?pen? test and took her ink pen and was able to push it
through the fascia boards on our chimney with no effort. This happened on
several areas of the house that other contractors had failed to discover or
address in their estimates. With the discovery of so much carpentry work
needed, we did see a significant increase in the estimate in terms of cost, in
order to have the longest lasting and best-finished product possible the wood
needed to be replaced, had we not received an estimate from Elysium we may have
not discovered the rotten wood until after another contractor had cut corners
in order to give us a lower price point to close the sale. The work itself was
done thoroughly, prep to finish. Between the color change, board replacement
and concise prep and finish work that Elysium did on our place, it looks like a
brand new house.
Interior:
  Since we were so pleased with the result of the
work being done on our exterior, we had Kevin and his crew complete additional
work on the interior of our home. The tacky wallpaper that had been in our
kitchen when we moved in needed to go. I was going to attempt to remedy its
existence myself; after several hours off attempting to remove the wallpaper
myself I decided to let the professionals handle it.  Underneath the wallpaper the drywall needed to be repaired
in several areas. Elysium was able to smooth out the wall underneath and apply
a fresh coat of paint. They also painted our 2-story foyer and hallways. Elysium completed a lot of work on our house, and it was a
job well done. I would recommend them for any paint project you?ve got!

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in East Lansing, MI

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.
