"A fantastic contractor!!! I hired Larry Shinall to install solid hardwood flooring in my kitchen, dining room, and hallways. The job that Larry did is so beautiful, so detailed, and each cut is perfect. He gave me a fair price and completed the job on time. Beyond being a skilled and honest contractor, he is funny and great to have in your home. I will be hiring Larry again to refinish my older wood floors, and also install new hardwood on my stairs."

"The showroom - Was treated very well and shown a good selection of flooring. I chose and the flooring was scheduled for about two weeks later. The installers - The three installers showed up on time and did an excellent job, matching the height of the flooring chosen for the bedrooms perfectly to the height of the tile in the hallway. They were easy to work with, listened to what I had to say on how I wanted the rooms to look. Yes I would hire them again."

"â The entire team were amazing. We were very hesitant and nervous about the remodel of our master bath as we had not done a remodel before. We interviewed others and continued to delay the project each year as we heard so many nightmarish bathroom remodel stories from friends, until we met Expert Home Builders owner. He kept his promises about budget and timing and delivered even more than we expected. His team arrived and departed according to plan, were extremely neat and even protected our very new hardwood floors (which they had to walk across numerous times daily) from any damage. Our bathroom is everything we hoped for and have been enjoying it for nearly a year. Thank you for a wonderful work !"

"Bluestar construction was originally hired to do the restoration in our condo due to water damage in our unit and others on our floor. We were so impressed we hired them to also paint other locations in the unit as well as to do the composite flooring in the entire condo, including labor intensive removal and disposal of tile. When finished with each project, the cleanup was absolutely spotless. To top it off, their communication was on point! This company is an absolute gem."

"We used Josh for our kitchen backsplash, tile floor installation of our kitchen, and laminate wood installation in our family room. We knew working with Josh would be a positive experience, but truly the customer care, communication, and overall work quality exceeded our expectations in the end! We would use Josh & Blue Star Construction again in the future."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in South Lake Tahoe, 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.
