 + -1 moreWarning: most prefinished flooring contains aluminum oxide particles which go airborne during the sanding process, and they are strong lung irritants (cough-cough). There were some glitches and delays with the sanding (they had to do it twice) and the threshold installation (another re-do), but they ultimately succeeded in restoring the floors to look like the original (prefinished) product. The end result is a beautiful oak floor. Unfortunately, the 25-year manufacturer's warranty on the factory finish has been voided, and the flooring will require periodic re-coating. But now I know a competent refinishing company to call when that time comes. My only complaint about them is that they were pretty slow in returning phone calls and sometimes didn't call when they said they would. Overall, they were professional and very pleasant people to work with.
Description of Work: Churlin Flooring is a sub-contractor sent to my home by Sherlock's Carpet & Tile to refinish newly-installed prefinished solid oak flooring (total 500 sq. ft in two rooms). The floor finish had been damaged by a different sub-contractor during the installation. Churlin's had the job of fixing the problem. They stripped off the aluminum oxide factory finish, applied three coats of polyurethane, installed three oak thresholds and shoe molding around the perimeter of the rooms. I can't comment about the price of this work because I didn't have to pay for it. Bryan Papp told me they normally charge $2-$3/sq. ft. to sand and refinish a site-finished floor. However, sanding the aluminum oxide finish off this prefinished floor was something they had not done before and was more difficult, so he estimated that it would be closer to $3/sq. ft.
