Restoration Hardwood Floors

Description of Work: I purchased a 9 year old "forclosure home" that will become my permanent home in Arizona. Although the house was in generally good condition, the solid wood oak flooring in the kitchen, hallway, and foyer was in very poor shape and had suffered harsh use. It was badly worn in some areas, not firmly glued to the underlying concrete sub-flooring in others, cracked in other areas, and generally nicked and marred all over. Bret Fry, the independent owner of Restoration Hardwood Floors, came in and looked at the floor, saw what needed to be done, gave me a fair estimate for the cost of restoration, expained exactly how he would fix the flooring, and told me when he could begin the work. Throughout the course of the work, Bret kept me updated on his progress at every step. Bret carefully moved the kitchen appliances to another area of the house so they would not be damaged and he used many drop clothes and plastic sheeting to tape off and protect other furniture and cabinets in the surroundiing area. He started by filling all the cracks and resealed all the joins, and re-epoxied the loose flooring to the sub-floor. He then sanded the entire floor with a machine where he could, and by hand in hard-to-reach areas. He sanded off the old deteriorated dark finish and sanded out all the water stains, gouges, and damaged areas. He then applied a new lighter finish to the floor and sealed it with 3 seperate coats of satin finish polyeurethane.
