"Matt Fisher gave us a quote and a timeframe for the job within half an hour of a no-nonsense home visit. He explained the process, what his company's responsibilities are and what we would need to do. The wood was delivered and it was beautiful, and also sustainably harvested, which we appreciated. His crew was efficient, polite, meticulous, and very knowledgeable. We got stain samples displayed on our newly installed floors, which helped us to determine what we liked. They made the new floors mesh with the refinished, 40-year-old floors, perfectly. We are very pleased."

"We are beyond thrilled with the work Ricky Brooks did refinishing the hardwood floors in our historical home. Ricky is exceptionally skilled, producing results of the highest quality. From start to finish, he ensured we were informed and involved, consulting with us on our vision and presenting options and detailed information throughout the process. He went above and beyond by replacing damaged boards with ones that matched the original flooring, preserving the character and integrity of our home. His experience in historical home flooring preservation was invaluable, and his attention to detail was impeccable. Ricky is not only an extremely hard worker but also professional, friendly, and courteous. He finished the job ahead of schedule, demonstrating his reliability and dedication to delivering exceptional results. We couldn’t be happier with the transformation of our floors and would highly recommend Ricky Brooks to anyone seeking quality craftsmanship and outstanding service."

Customers say: Quick response

"I was somewhat up in the air on refinishing or redoing my floors all together. Lucus and Dejha were very helpful and took time to make sure that all my questions were answered about products and processes. It made it so much easier to make the decision to refinish my hardwood floors. And I am so thankful that I did. They turned out beautiful. And I never had a single issue with this company or it's staff. They were professional, affordable, communicative and hard working. I would definitely recommend this company to others and use their services again."

"Luis and his team did an amazing job refinishing all of my hardwoods and installing new hardwood in one room. He discovered that I had carpet covering up hardwoods in a couple areas and converted those areas back to hardwoods too. He is an excellent communicator and dedicated to his craft, I am beyond pleased with how great everything looks!"

"Jason & team are truly amazing. We initially contracted with them to re-do the floors throughout our new home on a tight timeline. They did a fantastic job, installing nearly 4800 square feet of beautiful flooring that dramatically re-shaped the appearance of our home. Throughout the process, Jason was flexible, responsive, and frankly just a lot of fun. We were so impressed with FCI's performance that we ultimately contracted with them to renovate all five bathrooms in our home - and once again, they were great. Jason helped us envision and design each bathroom, from a high-end primary bathroom to mid-range and economical guest bathrooms. I couldn't more strongly recommend Jason and FCI. They are a rare partner that is equal parts trustworthy and affordable."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Durham, NC

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.
