I give a grade A for the sanding job. I had water damage in a few areas... some very black wood. Now, only I would know where the damage was. I should have done the work in the spring when I could open the windows once dry. My house smelled of the chemicals in the finish for months. Four coats of finish was recommended. I did not want to spend that much. I realized after the third coat that he was right. I called to get the fourth coat. They applied the fourth coat over dust and grit. Obviously they did not sand between the finishes and did not clean the floors before applying the final coat.... so I have a gritty finish in the corners on my stairs and in a few places on the floors. They also did not sand the trim on the stairs at all so it is rough. I did not call them back... kept meaning to. The floors look wonderful if you don't look too close. I think they could have had a fifth coat!

The hardwood floors upstairs were in rough shape and we asked that he squeeze us into his schedule the week prior to moving into the home. His calendar was booked up but he told us he would work to fit us in. He called us twice the week prior to our closing to finalize dates and times, but we ended up closing late and barely had enough time to clean the house before moving, let alone finish the floors. The hardwoods upstairs had been covered by linoleum and tarred, and in January we asked Ron to come take a look at them to see if there was any way they could be salvaged. He did some research and found a sander that had diamond blades on it that he thought might remove the tar. He purchased the blade for our floors and came by later in the month to test it out. Unfortunately the new blade was not able to remove the tar. Ron ended up returning the blade because he had bought it specifically for our job and did not have much use for it.We called Ron back last August after finding a contractor who used a sandblaster to remove the tar from the wood floors. Ron returned to our house and took 4 days to finish the 3 bedrooms and hallway. The antique wide pine floors turned out absolutely beautiful. Working with Ron was a pleasure. He was polite, prompt, easy to contact and trustworthy. He went out of his way to try and help us. We have indoor cats and he made a special effort to keep them indoors while he entered and exited the house. What I especially appreciated was that he made a solid effort to be clean and quiet- I work nights in the ER and was sleeping on some of the days he came to work. We still have the downstairs and half of the upstairs floors to refinish and repair and will definitely be calling Ron again.

My house is about 20 years old. The oak floors were in deplorable condition. He clearly knew his woods and the floors now match a room that I had hardwood put in a few years ago. I was told he commanded a higher price because of the quality of the work. I give a grade A for the sanding...

FAQs for floor sanding projects in Merrimac, MA
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.
You should aim to hire a professional floor cleaner once or twice per year to remove any set-in stains, resolve scratches, and make your floors look shiny and new again. If you have a bustling household with many children, pets, or severe allergies, having your floors cleaned four times per year is worth the investment to maintain the integrity of your flooring. Don’t forget to prioritize cleaning your floors yourself in between professional cleanings, too.
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
The cost for professional floor cleaning is $250 on average. This cost can range from $100 to $1,500, depending on the type of flooring and its square footage.
For example, natural stone flooring requires specialized techniques and care, so you'll spend closer to the higher end of the cost range. The cost of cleaning tile and grout is more cost-effective, where you'll pay an average of $0.50 to $3.50per square foot.
