"Pierattini Hardwood Floors absolutely exceeded our expectations. Nicholas and his team did an incredible job restoring our 100+ year-old oak floors. A previous tenant had actually painted them red, and we honestly weren’t sure the original floors could be saved—but Pierattini brought them back to their original beauty. The team was on time, professional, and completely autonomous on the job site, which made the whole process stress-free. They were efficient, detail-oriented, and even completed the project ahead of schedule. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Pierattini Hardwood Floors to anyone looking to restore or refinish hardwood floors—especially historic ones 🤩"

"We recently moved to Petaluma and wanted new flooring in our new home. We found Sunshine Flooring in San Rafael. Owner Dave Gilbert was happy to work with us In spite of the distance his crew needed to travel. We count ourselves lucky that he agreed to take on this job. He clearly laid out options (hardwood, engineered hardwood, vinyl plank, carpet), provided suggestions, but left the decisions up to us. (We chose engineered hardwood downstairs and vinyl plank upstairs.) He made an effort to get the materials as soon as possible, since we had a deadline to vacate our temporary quarters. His workers were on time, friendly, efficient, and good at their crafts. We love the end product and highly recommend this company. It had been a long and hard road for us to find our house, and Dave and crew were really a ray of sunshine."

"First String Home Improvement Company installed my bathroom door, and the results exceeded my expectations. I’m very picky when it comes to details, but with Skyler I didn’t have to supervise him at all—his professionalism and expertise were evident throughout the entire process. On top of that, he’s incredibly enthusiastic about what he does, which made the experience even better. This company is my go-to, and I’ll def hire them again!"

"Leo was very helpful and quick to respond. We’re happy with how our 2 bathrooms turned out. Project was completed within the time promised. Our only complaint is that the workers did not clean up very well. But overall, we’re satisfied and we’ll use them again. "

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Novato, CA

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.
