"Came and refinished my oak wood floors. They were worn down from my dogs running over them for the past few years. The owner Guy was very helpful, gave me a fair price and got the work done quickly. Did a great job as well, I would highly recommend these guys!"

"I have used EURO FLOORS twice . In 2018 they refinished an older existing wood floor and repaired / replaced a section of the floor destroyed by a burst pipe . The floor looks amazing – better than when new without any visible difference between the original and replaced section of flooring . Marcin and his team just finished rebuild / restore of my stairs . SAME results – LOVE IT . Marcin is a true craftsman and a perfectionist almost to a fault . Both jobs were completed on time and at the price quoted . he is a true professional who takes such pride in his workmanship you can be at ease that your project will be completed on time / within cost / and as promised – LOOK NOWHERE ELSE !"

"We recently hired Ontario Wood Flooring to refinish the floor in our soon to be nursery. Adam was a great communicator. His crew was prompt, super clean and the work was beautiful. We were so impressed that we just hired them to finish the rest of the first floor!"

"Marty provided a timely quote and explained very well the buff/coat and refinishing process. He is very easy to talk to and is clearly very experienced. He and his crew were punctual and very efficient. There was absolutely no wood dust to clean up. They nicely blended the refinished bedroom with buffed/coated hallway. Marty is also very handy. While his team were working on the floors I had mentioned in passing that a newly hung door was rubbing on the new tile flooring. He offered to cut the bottom of the door and then when there was still a problem with the door closing properly, he planed the door trim. Voila! Door closes perfectly now. Marty's customer service is second to none. The floors look fantastic. I am very pleased with the work performed by Marty and his crew. I would absolutely use them again. In fact, I have Marty coming back to look at another small project."

"Nick and his crew were diligent, clean and thorough. The project started out as a new kitchen floor (laminate) and remove and install new lr and dr and hallway wood flooring. We added painting and installing crown molding. All done well and and without fuss. He does more than just floors. Good guy to have around."

"Matt came to the house and looked over the floors to be finished in the main house and gave us a price.  He also looked at the floor in our newly installed sun room and said he could install floor molding for us for an additional $200.  He told us what size molding to purchase.  
The workers came and did an excellent job sanding and finishing the main floors.  However, the size molding that Matt told us to get was incorrect.  We needed a bigger size.  Matt, or one of his workers, purchased the correct size and it was installed.  Matt then called to advise us of the additional charge for the larger molding.  I didn't feel it was our responsibility to pay for Matt's error in measuring.  The molding we purchased at a local home supply center was $32.  Matt sent a bill for $100 for the molding he purchased.

"Anthony is incredibly professional and personable; knows the industry and knows his field. He has a few assistants that treat the project with the same passion and respect as the owner would, working round the clock with incredible attention to detail, not leaving for the day until their own personal job-specific goals were met. The team was always looking for the best possible, most beautiful result. We will be using them again for the next flooring project."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in University, NY

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.
