Customers say: Terrific value

"I would definitely recommend Ron Wilson to a friend. We had hardwood floors in 2 bedrooms refinished, the floors were covered by carpets for many, many years. Our floors came out beautifully and they were able to get out an unknown stain from the wood. I found Ron to be reliable, professional, and well priced. They came when they said they would, they worked efficiently and cleaned up! The clean up was also a big deal for me and you would have never known they were there."

"We called Greg when our 50 year old wood floors needed refinishing. He quickly provided a quote and went over the process step by step. He was able to fit us into his schedule when it was convenient for us, and got the job completed sooner than what we expected. He was professional and reliable, and did amazing work. Our floors look like they are brand new! I would highly recommend Greg’s floors and more!"

"Excellent!!! Juan was very accommodating and a pleasure to work with. He knows his trade top notch. He secured all boards with top quality wood to prevent the ramp from collapsing again. We are truly thankful for his excellent quality work and feel safe for our 90 lb dog to use the ramps again. We recommend Juan highly!!!"

"WR Collins did an excellent job on our house. We found the company through Angies list and they did exactly what we were looking for. We have a two story house and they laid new floors upstairs and refinished floors downstairs while replacing the floors in the living room. I am extremely happy with their work and everyone had a great attitude on the job site. The work was done efficiently. I would recommend them to anybody and if I need work in the future I will be calling them again.

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Essex, MA

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.
