"Richard is a wood floor craftsman. He replaced the oak floor in our entryway, including a 17’ thick bullnose, repair to the raised subfloor, and fabrication of a custom oak step. He also refinished over 350 sq ft of original oak flooring in our living room and replaced some damaged oak flooring in the hallway. Everything turned out great with the refinished flooring blending in perfectly with existing floors. "

"If you are looking for a quality and dustless job when refinishing your hardwood floors talk to Calvin at C H Hardwood floors. The quality of Calvin's work was impeccable. Calvin told us he learned the trade from his dad and has 25 years of experience. Our hardwood floors were sanded down to the raw wood, treated, and we chose not to put a stain on the oak. Calvin cut and installed new baseboards. The result was beautiful. Now let's talk "dust free". Everyone said it can not be done. Calvin proved us all wrong. He has invested in some state of the art equipment so when he is sanding the floors all the dust is contained in some kind of tubing and goes into a machine. There truly was not any dust residue left on the mirrors and shelves that were still in the room. We have lived through our hardwood floor being refinished in another home, and if I did not experience this dustless method I would not have believed it. Other companies we interviewed for the job said we had to move out for at least a week. Not so with C H Floors. While we were gone during the days it was not a problem to use the kitchen and sleep in our home in the evenings. The estimate Calvin quoted us was comparable with the other estimates we received. Based on our experience with Calvin and C H Hardwood floors we would highly recommend him."

"Alameda Hardwood Floors are fantastic. They did the install very carefully, on time, and took care of all our furniture and also made sure they helped us move the furniture around. We also have three cats in the house who are indoor and they took care to work around them. There workmanship is top notch. Jesus, who is the owner supervises and also does the work with his assistants and he is very involved unlike some other owners who just come and go. We will definitely use them again when we replace our downstairs flooring. They did three bedroom, closets and stair case for us. "

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in San Jose, 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.
