"My kitchen floor was in deplorable condition; David and his team turned it into a floor that looks brand new. He did an amazing job! Not only that, they set up so that not a single speck of wood dust escaped the work area - amazing. Their clean-up, too, was great with nothing for me to do, but return the things removed from the area refinished. This was one of the rare instances of a perfect job."

"Kouzman was very diligent and always showed up on time. He finished the job when he said he would finish. The floors look great! He had good suggestions about things like moldings and stains. He is a straight shooter and hard worker. He also was very good about making our upstairs as livable as possible during the entire project. I Liked him so much I will use him again to do my floors at my cabin in Tahoe. - Koji"

"Phil and his team are fantastic! He got right to work and is completing the job in a timely, efficient manner. He has explained all the steps along the way of replacing some of our old wood flooring that was squeaking very loudly. Now, the floor is more solid than ever, and it looks great!"

"They were punctual, and the floor refinishing went without a hitch. The floor now looks better than it did when it was first put in. The results were more than satisfactory. We were very happy about the whole experience. We are going to begin the floor replacement job soon. Will be glad to recommend them anytime."

"Had a great experience with this company. Very professional from start to finish. The guy redoing the floors even apologized to my downstairs neighbor when he heard they had complained about the noise. The finish looks great, and I would definitely recommend them."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in San Francisco, 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.
