"What an amazing transformation of my flooring. Mike put his heart and soul into this job. It required a lot of sanding and then coating with polyurethane. During the process, Mike kept me in the loop as to what he was doing. In fact, he put down three different stains for me to decide which one I thought would look the best. I went with the natural look. I would highly recommend Best Choice flooring for all of your flooring needs. The finished product was amazing, from the color, coating, to the trim that he put down. Mike started the job and worked on the job until it was completed."

"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."

"I hired Just Floors to refinish my kitchen and sunroom hard wood floor. Their work is outstanding. From the beginning to end, the team was extremely professional. They explained the process throughout. I also appreciate their attention to detail. Since I was not getting all my wood floors redone the Just Floors team made sure there was a gradual transition between the new and old floors. There was very little dusk to clean up after the floors were sanded. The workers were always professional, respectful, and trustworthy. The floors look like glass. I want to get my other floors done. Finally their pricing was very reasonable as compared to other contractors. I can confidently say and highly recommend if you need your floors done call Just Floors. You will not be disappointed."

"Ron exceeded my expectations. He was very knowledgeable and very passionate about the work he does. His price was fair and he completed the work in the time he said that he would. Through each step of the process, he made sure that I knew what was going on and made sure that I was satisfied with how the project was looking. He refinished the floors in my 60 year old house and they look incredible."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Delaware City, DE

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.
