"I'm very happy with how the job went. The crew was competent and courteous. They explained each step as the job progressed. They were well prepared and had the proper equipment, sealed the doorways of the rooms to contain the sawdust. They did three coats of varnish and sanded after the first coat, which was a nice touch. A very nice bunch to do business with ."

"The pro built an excellent new deck. It is solid and should last a long time. They worked hard to try and get it done on time, even staying one night until almost 9 pm. I recommend All-Time Builders to anyone who asks."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Portland, ME

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.
