"Rooster came out to fix the drywall in my home, upon inspection he discovered that I needed more help in other areas. I gave him my budget, then he let me know what he could do for that amount. He installed the floor I had purchased in record time, and it looks beautiful!!"

"Sopt Flooring did an outstanding job refinishing our hardwood floors. Mr. Sopt contacted us within a couple of hours after we requested quotes through Angie's List. He came to our home promptly the next day to provide a quote, and began the work on our hardwood floors on the day agreed upon. He and his team sanded and put a dark stain on our floors (about 800 sq ft). He completed the work on the fifth morning, and the results were absolutely beautiful! He and his team were very professional at all times."

"The quality is excellent. I am a licensed contractor who has remodel eleven apartment buildings that I own and various houses and condos for other people on the Northshore. Wood Ez has done over a dozen floors for me over the last five years. Most of these have been complete replacements of oak flooring and underlayment some floors only needed repair from water stains, burned holes, gaps because of walls removed, severe staining from pets which Wood Ez sanded and used bleached and stain to restore. All of the work has been excellent. Late last fall Wood EZ installed two new wood floors in two storefronts that I own in Evanston, I had asked them to wait to put the third coat of varnish on until I finished some repairs to the walls. Vlad, who is the president, called me in January to remind me that I had forgotten to get the last coat! Even before this I was so impressed that I refered Vlad to a friend who I know to be quite particular about his house. My friend needed his floors done in Hyde Park and they were extremely happy with Wood Ez work. It is very rare that I will recommend any contractor to a friend but I felt comfortable with Wood Ez."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Rensselaer, IN

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.
