"We had our hardwood floors in our home restored by Design Wood Floors this month. Our home is a 1910 Craftsman with a mix of original southern pine floors and relatively newer (20 year old) oak hardwood planking. All of the flooring was in dire need of refinishing. John and his crew did an amazing job restoring and refinishing our flooring. The attention to detail was impressive, and they even tackled things we didn't expect, like attaching some of our molding that had come unglued (in the past) back to our walls. We felt completely comfortable entrusting all of the details to Design Wood Floors and simply went on vacation, returning a week later to the hardwood floors of our dreams. We highly recommend Design Wood Floors!"

"We are so glad we used Cliff and Superior Hardwood and couldn't recommend him enough. He refinished all the floors in our bedrooms and great room as well as the stairs in our home and everything looks amazing. These floors had carpet and he took the extra time to get every single staple and nail up and clearly takes pride in his work. We also had hardwood installed in our kitchen and breezeway and he matched everything perfectly and blended in the wood with our older floor. Again, top notch old school work and dedication to a craft at very reasonable prices. I wish our other contractors were as meticulous and detailed as Cliff. Highly recommended."

"Tao did an excellent job of re-finishing our floors. We had a move-in deadline, which he was able to meet. Tao was very detailed in explaining what his crew would do, the sequencing of the coats of poly and how long before the floors could be walked on. He also gave us advice on ongoing care of the floors, which was helpful. His crew was friendly and worked hard to help us meet our deadline. They also did a good job cleaning up after themselves. Highly recommend Tao and his firm."

Customers say: Terrific value

"I would definitely recommend Ron Wilson to a friend. We had hardwood floors in 2 bedrooms refinished, the floors were covered by carpets for many, many years. Our floors came out beautifully and they were able to get out an unknown stain from the wood. I found Ron to be reliable, professional, and well priced. They came when they said they would, they worked efficiently and cleaned up! The clean up was also a big deal for me and you would have never known they were there."

"We called Greg when our 50 year old wood floors needed refinishing. He quickly provided a quote and went over the process step by step. He was able to fit us into his schedule when it was convenient for us, and got the job completed sooner than what we expected. He was professional and reliable, and did amazing work. Our floors look like they are brand new! I would highly recommend Greg’s floors and more!"

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Salem, MA

Rental sanders can address moderate surface damage, but their effectiveness depends on scratch depth and overall floor condition. Drum sanders offer the most aggressive removal capability for deeper imperfections. However, if the damage extends into the wood structure or affects large portions of the floor, board replacement by an expert might be necessary before sanding. Consult a flooring professional for help.

Always thoroughly review the manufacturer's operating instructions before starting. Wear appropriate safety gear, including goggles to protect your eyes and a respirator to prevent inhalation of dust. Inspect electrical components before each use to prevent shock hazards. Keep children and pets away from the work area, and maintain a clean space by frequently vacuuming dust accumulation to prevent slipping and to ensure you can see well.

Sandpaper requirements depend on floor size, condition, and the sanding approach. Plan to use multiple grit levels (coarse, medium, and fine) with at least one to two sheets per 100 square feet for each grit. Floors with significant damage or multiple finish layers will require more coarse-grit sheets. Purchase extra supplies before beginning because running out mid-project can cause visible inconsistencies in the final result.
