"Chet was very polite and knowledgeable. I hired him to refinish my wood floors. He quoted me a reasonable price and let me know how long the project would take. He was done in the amount of days he said and always left the work area clean. He works with his son who is a very pleasant young man. My floors came out beautiful. Chet even advised that I have some molding replaced around my floors which I did, which made the floors look even better. I would recommend the Floor Guy to my family and friends and will be using them again."

"DeMayo Tile did the entire installation on a roughly entire 1900 square foot house. This work covered the following: 1) Remove carpeting, install plank laminate flooring, and floor baseboards 2) Install bathroom tile flooring and floor baseboards I would recommend DeMayo Tile. I love the way the floors looks and the job that was done. Mike also found underlying issues (like a leaking pipe) that might not have been discovered until well after the installation was completed. Total cost $10,450.00"

"Tom Long is the small business owner who cares very much about the quality of service he provides. He grew up in the business, his father teaching him, and he now works with his son as well. Tom not only came in with a competitive price, but he solved several challenges along the way, unbeknownst until the refinishing install began. He saw some subflooring existed underneath the wood to be refinished, so he bought and installed the same under a new area of wood to be installed, finishing it flawlessly to match the older wood he was re-finishing. He also took it upon himself to shave off the bottom of existing doors to clear the new elevation. Gratis. And had his electrician repair a cracked floor outlet we had. He took care of EVERYTHING!! And had wonderful communication all along the way. I don't think you can have him because WE are keeping him!! But if you DO, you will thrilled with old-fashioned conscientious service!!!"

"This is a great company to do business with. I hired a company to refinish my hardwood and they totally ruined my floor. I thought I might have to replace it but Varnes was able to redo the work and save the floors. Everyone was great to work with. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a quality job done right the first time."

"Sam was very responsive and able to schedule, then re-schedule, us with rather short notice. As stated by many others, his customer communications are outstanding. His price for the job was surprisingly lower than many of the other flooring companies. Our job was small (1st floor and 1 set of stairs in a rowhouse) so I think some of the bigger flooring guys didn't want to invest their time unless it was financially worth it. Nothing wrong with that; we met some great flooring experts along the way. But in the end, we couldn't afford to spend $3500 for this size of job. I'll be honest, I was a little nervous about hiring the more affordable contractor, but Sam and his workers came so highly recommended, we took the risk. We're so glad we did! They showed up right on time, with all kinds of modern sanding and dust removal / air cleaning equipment. They spent the first 30-60 minutes taping up plastic sheets for dust control throughout the house. The first day consisted of sanding the floor and stairs to remove old finish and uneven spots, and filling gaps or holes (some we pointed out, some Sam found on his own and took care of). Next was lots of air cleaning and vacuuming before putting down the wood sealer. When that was dry, it was buffed out, vacuumed again, and then coated with the first of two layers of top coat. On the second day, they returned in the morning and buffed/vacuumed again in preparation for applying the final finish coat. By lunch time, everything was done and we could (but didn't) walk on it. The job site was all cleaned up and they were gone. That's it! The floor looks beautiful with an even, soft glow, but with the grain and feel of the real wood still intact. We spec'd a satin-finish water-based polyurethane for our top coats. I've seen a number of friends' poorly refinished wood floors and many have missed corners or that thing where so much wood is removed, there a slope down from the baseboards to the center of the room. Not so with Sam and his workers; you can tell they know how to do this right and are real experienced professionals. We'll be hiring them back to do the other two floors in our house soon! Highly recommended."

"These guys did wonders to my condo, they made it look so neat and modern. It is always a joy to come to such a beautiful place after a long day at work. First I had smoke damage in 90% of the living room area and the skilled workers they are took care of it and it is no longer there. They recommended the best paint for me and helped me with the colors. They refinished my cabinets in the kitchen and master bedroom and it looks AMAZING. It is so shiny with a luxury look to it. I am really thankful to these guys for making my place look so beautiful, I love it."

"Ron was great! He called and came over to the house for an estimate very shortly after I sent the request to Angi. We agreed upon a work date - and he was punctual, clean, and professional. Did a great job on the floors and is highly recommended. I am also going to have him back for other areas of the house to install new hardwoods."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Wilmington, DE

Rental sanders can address moderate surface damage, but their effectiveness depends on scratch depth and overall floor condition. Drum sanders offer the most aggressive removal capability for deeper imperfections. However, if the damage extends into the wood structure or affects large portions of the floor, board replacement by an expert might be necessary before sanding. Consult a flooring professional for help.

Always thoroughly review the manufacturer's operating instructions before starting. Wear appropriate safety gear, including goggles to protect your eyes and a respirator to prevent inhalation of dust. Inspect electrical components before each use to prevent shock hazards. Keep children and pets away from the work area, and maintain a clean space by frequently vacuuming dust accumulation to prevent slipping and to ensure you can see well.

Sandpaper requirements depend on floor size, condition, and the sanding approach. Plan to use multiple grit levels (coarse, medium, and fine) with at least one to two sheets per 100 square feet for each grit. Floors with significant damage or multiple finish layers will require more coarse-grit sheets. Purchase extra supplies before beginning because running out mid-project can cause visible inconsistencies in the final result.
