"We recently had the pleasure of working with Ismael and his team for some much-needed repairs to our hardwood flooring, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. From the initial consultation, Ismael demonstrated a deep knowledge of hardwood flooring and what needed to be done to correct issues left behind by a previous contractor. One of the biggest problems we faced was uneven flooring in several areas of our home. Ismael and his crew carefully sanded everything down, creating a smooth, level surface that looks brand new. They also identified and corrected multiple mistakes made by our last contractor—things we didn’t even realize were wrong until they pointed them out. Throughout the entire process, the team was professional, punctual, and clearly committed to high-quality workmanship. They kept us informed every step of the way and went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with the final result. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and skilled hardwood flooring contractor, I highly recommend Ismael and his team!"

"Home Repair Fraud. Theft by deception. We got a new floor and the installer said his brother was the field estimator and was authorized to remove the "Kitchen Cabinets"? We never wanted cabinets from a flooring company, But they targeted the owner because she is 91 years old and took them. Months later we got them back from the ex-con and hoodlum they sent to rob the owner totally destroyed and had to pay another $1300 to get them back. We feared for our safety because they wanted to know if the house was for sale and what types of cars we were driving. They prey upon the elderly. Do not use this company unless you have a criminal attorney on retainer. Stay away from DeSitter at all costs."

The cost to refinish hardwood floors is $1,900 on average, ranging from $600 to $4,500, depending on the area size, the floor’s condition, the type of wood, the type of coating, and the refinishing method. Traditional refinishing includes sanding the floors, which can be very dusty and costs about $3 to $8 per square foot. Dustless refinishing uses a vacuum to collect dust during the sanding process, reducing the amount of dust produced, and costs about $5 to $8 per square foot.
The cost to install hardwood flooring is about $4,800 on average, ranging from about $1,000 to $12,000. Nationally, the average cost to install hardwood floors ranges from $6 to $12 per square foot for labor and materials. High-end woods and large spaces may cost $13 to $25 per square foot.
Additional cost factors include:
Square footage of the area
Type of wood
Preparation requirements
Type of finish
Location
Floor style and pattern
Plank thickness
Wood grade, color, and grain
It’s time to refinish your hardwood floors when they show signs of age that diminish their overall appearance and function. A few surefire signals that you should consider refinishing your hardwood floors include:
Gouges, scrapes, deep scratches, and dents over a significant area
Discoloration from stains or sun exposure
Water damage causing rotting, warping, or bowing
Weak, spongy, or soft spots in the floor indicating damaged subflooring
Dull and worn appearance across most of the floor
Despite the costly upfront expense, hardwood floors can add value and appeal to your home, making them one of the highest ROI home improvements. In terms of functionality, hardwood floors are very durable and can last several decades when properly maintained, making them well worth the investment. In some cases, installing hardwood floors can even alleviate allergies in household members, as it’s easier to keep this floor type free of dust mites, pet dander, pollen, and other pesky allergens.
Several kinds of wood can be used for wood flooring, not all being hardwood, ranging in price per square foot. You should choose the best type of wood for your flooring based on desired color, cost, durability, feel, and texture.

Maple: $7–$11
Pine: $5–$10
Bamboo: $5–$11
White ash: $9–$13
Hickory: $6–$13
