Hardwood Floor Refinishing Details
What we do
Four flooring services from one licensed and insured team based in Norwood: refinishing the hardwood you have, installing new solid or engineered hardwood, and installing luxury vinyl plank, each starting with a free in-home estimate.
Four services
Our flooring services follow the choices homeowners face: keep and renew the hardwood you already have, put down new solid hardwood, choose engineered hardwood where solid wood would struggle, or install luxury vinyl plank where water and heavy use rule. Choose a service to see what it includes and how it runs.

Hardwood Floor Refinishing DetailsNew solid hardwood floors installed over a prepared subfloor, laid out, fastened, and finished room by room.
Hardwood Floor Installation DetailsEngineered hardwood installed where solid wood is a poor fit, such as over concrete, with a real wood surface.
Engineered Hardwood Flooring DetailsLuxury vinyl plank installation for basements, kitchens, and busy rooms that need a water-resistant floor.
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) Flooring DetailsWhere to start
Many calls start with the same question: is the old floor worth saving? Solid hardwood with enough wood left on top can usually be sanded and refinished to look new. New flooring makes more sense when you want a different material or layout, or when the room has carpet or another floor today.
Planning
Many projects use more than one service. A common plan is to refinish the hardwood floors and stairs upstairs, install new hardwood in an addition, and put luxury vinyl plank in the basement. Planning them together keeps colors consistent and the house closed for less time.

It depends on what you have and what you want. Worn solid hardwood usually needs refinishing. Rooms without hardwood can get new solid hardwood if the subfloor is wood, or engineered hardwood or luxury vinyl plank over concrete. During the free estimate we look at each room and explain the options that make sense.
Yes, and it often saves time. Refinishing the existing floors while new hardwood goes into another room lets us match the stain across the house, and a basement can get vinyl plank in the same schedule. The estimate lists each part separately, so you can see what each one includes.
Yes. Stair refinishing is part of our hardwood floor refinishing service, and stairs and landings are often part of a new hardwood installation. Treads can be stained to match the floors or contrast with white risers. Tell us about the stairs when you request an estimate, and we will include them in the plan.
Yes. Every service starts with a free in-home estimate and consultation, with no obligation to hire us. We visit your home, look at the floors and the subfloor, take measurements, and talk about colors, products, and timing. Then we send a written estimate with the scope and the price.
