"Absolutely excellent experience working with Long and his team. Long gave us great advice and was able to accommodate our schedule on short notice when we purchased our new home, so that the floors would be done before we moved in. Very fair pricing especially for the excellent quality of work - the floors look amazing."

"Eddie was incredible throughout the whole process. I initially reached out to him 3 months before I actually intended to do the work, and he was still very gracious with his time and provided some great recommendations. When we decided to move forward he and his team were prompt, professional, and hit the tight deadline I had put them under. I was doing multiple projects at the property that week but Eddie made sure everything was completed exactly how we wanted. Oh, and the floors look great! Am considering hiring him again to install the floors in the basement. Just an overall pleasure to work with. Would recommend!"

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Reading, 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.
