Customers say: Quality work

"Everything from start to finish went very well. The owner Rich listened to what my goal was. We had to knock down 2 walls and continue the existing hardwood flooring into another full room as well as into an entrance hallway. Everything was fully explained, every step was done very professionally. Keith and the other worker were excellent. Whenever I stopped by to see the work they were very respectful and helpful so I felt part of the whole experience including choosing the right stain. The finished floor is outstanding! I will try to upload a pic. I totally would and have recommended Oaktree Flooring to a friend already. Also I met with 2 other floor guys. Besides that I felt comfortable with Rich, his pricing is very fair. There was no vagueness about the price, and he appreciated the great quality of the current wood flooring that existed in the house and knew it would finish up nice. Another floor guy wanted to rip it all out and put in a new large plank floor so it would be updated. The stain we used has updated the floor, it feels and looks wonderful. Extremely pleased."

"Aldo (Priority Wood Flooring) and his team did an absolutely amazing job from start to finish on sanding and staining ~2000 sq. ft. across 3 floors of our new home. A few highlights: Aldo was the only person who correctly identified the hardwood in our bedrooms as very good quality maple...which 3 other companies told us was engineered and needed to be ripped out/replaced. That alone saved us countless thousands of dollars that would have been wasted if we had believed the other contractors, but beyond that, Aldo's pricing was very competitive. From here, Aldo helped us feel comfortable with our choice of stain color, accommodated an emergency schedule change after my painter changes schedules on us, successfully stained red oak and maple floors to perfection, and completed the job ahead of schedule. Aldo himself was on the job each day and kept us updated throughout the project. We couldn't be happier with the end result. This was one of the smoothest home renovations projects I've ever been though after owning 3 homes. I would recommend Aldo and his team to absolutely anyone looking for refinishing their hardwood floors."

Customers say: Super punctual

"We pulled old carpeting up and had issues with the old floor beneath. They had to join the floors of two rooms to a hallway by splicing new pieces of hardwood in because previous owners moved walls and just carpeted over the entire upstairs afterward. We hired them to splice in the threshold areas, and also remove the carpet that went down the stairs and refinish it all. They were fabulous, extremely nice to work with, super clean. We literally had no dust to speak of afterward. Great guys - we recommend them wholeheartedly!"

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Livingston, NJ

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.
