Re: Refinishing Hardwood Floors

I like a satin finish the best. Not at all glossy, and doesn't show wear and tear. Chat Icon

Yeah, if you do glossy you will see more of the "traffic areas"

Re: Refinishing Hardwood Floors

We have two dogs and have not had a problem with loosing the shin on our hardwood floors (they are gloss finish).

I personally like the shine of gloss.

Re: Refinishing Hardwood Floors

Re: Refinishing Hardwood Floors

the prices I got from different companies varied (and not including a few replacement boards) sanding, no stain, 2 coats oil based poly was about $1.55-1.70 per square foot.

But, we are going with a past co-worker of DH's who left his field to work for the family's flooring business and who came highly recommended from a few people. We have been very pleased with the service so far and can't wait to see what our floors look like tomorrow after the sanding and first coat!
