"This company is fantastic. They repaired my subfloor and installed hardwood flooring. Not only are they reputable, but they're very fair with their pricing. I will definitely keep them in my repertoire. It's rare when you find legitimate businesses with integrity."

"I worked specifically with Kerry and will hire him again and again for future projects. He is honest, hardworking, follows through, and made this experience enjoyable. He refinished my hardwood floors, replaced carpet with LVT, and retiled two rooms. Iâ m so happy with how everything turned out. He has also made himself available to help with other things around the house. Good service like that is hard to find and I am so glad I found him early on in my home ownership. I highly recommend Hardwood Sand Refinish!"

"I could not be happier with the final product! The first pic is the old bathroom from the 60s when the house was built. The rest are the final rebuild and it looks great. I would highly recommend VMK Remodeling for any project that you might have. I am also going to get a bid on redoing the deck on the back of the house as Vince's company does decks as well! Thanks to his great crew as well, great people to work with."

"Mark and his team were absolutely wonderful to work with. We installed white oak hardwood flooring throughout our entire first floor. They were stained and finished on site, and Mark and his team completed the project in a very timely manner. They arrived on time each morning, were very clean and friendly, and the quality of work far exceeded our expectations. They took measure to never leave the house dusty when they were done for the day, and put multiple stain choices down for us when we were having trouble picking a color. We received multiple bids before starting the project, and Quality Wood Flooring was very competitive and fairly priced. We are thrilled with the results, and highly recommend Mark and Quality Wood Flooring for any of your hardwood needs."

"They moved the furniture as well as installed the carpet.  It looks beautiful.  I especially like the carpet on the stairs which is a trickier part of the installation.  They even cut a piece of the old carpet and put it down on the storage room floor.  That was service above and beyond what they contracted to do.  I highly recommend these installers.

"Matt was always on time and finished in a timely manner. His team was efficient and took good care of my floors. They cleaned up after themselves and even helped move my difficult couch. If I had more floors to finish, I'd call them in a heartbeat."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Waterloo, IL

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.
