"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 and his team did an awesome job installing carpet in our guest room (the second excellent job they have done for us). The room had been nearly abandoned by my family after a different company had tried to install hardwood floors that never fully off-gassed. After removal of the hardwood floors, the room stood unfinished for half a year, which was a big problem for us since we have a small 3-bedroom house and needed the room to fit our growing family, including a 2-month old. Fortunately, Jason and his team came to the rescue. They accomodated our busy schedule by agreeing to install the carpet while we were away and did a fantastic job with the install itself. Would definitely recommend Jason and his team if you need any flooring work done!"

"Ron's company refinished hardwood flooring which was damaged by a tenant move out. He was punctual and responsive when working to get the job. Stupidly, I paid him without doing a thorough inspection of completed work. His crew neglected to install and nail quarter round at two columns and near a fireplace. I reached out to him for solution to the missed moldings two times; received a response once and then contractor amnesia set in. Fixing these missed details (my fault) cost me an additional $395. I will never use Ron again. The work that they did complete looked amazing. The end left a foul taste in my mouth."

"I had a great experience working with Footprints on my hardwood doors. Bill was professional, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. I was genuinely impressed with the quality of the workmanship, and the project was completed on time as promised. I would absolutely use Footprints again and would recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality, reliable work. "

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Hillsborough, NC

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.
