Hardwood Floor Refinishing

• Accurate Floor Care offers a few different options for floor finishes:

  • Oil-based polyurethane

    • A film-building finish that gives a natural amber tone. Our most cost-efficient option, and if you are looking for a true high gloss, this is the glossiest option. The downsides are the smell and long dry times. This product will continue to amber over time, which some people like and others do not. You can walk on the floor 24 hours after the coat is put down, furniture should wait one week, and area rugs two weeks.

  • Water-based polyurethane

    • A film-building finish that goes down clearly. We often use a waterborne sealer that gives an amber tone to match the oil-based look without the smell. With government regulations on oil-based polyurethane, just about all research has gone into water-based polyurethanes, and as a result, they are fantastic products these days. They are durable, walkable in 4-6 hours, can put down multiple coats daily, and have low odor and VOCs. They are more expensive than oil-based polyurethane. There are one-component water bases and two-component, to which you add a hardener. The one components are still very durable, but the two components are some of the most challenging finishes on the market today. We recommend two components for high-traffic areas: stairs, entryways, and kitchens. You can walk on this product 4-6 hours after the coat is put down. Furniture should wait four days, and area rugs one week. We strongly recommend these products over oil based except for a few situations.

  • Penetrating Oils/Hardwax Oils

    • A brilliant finish that can give a natural color has a color built right into the oil or can go over the stain for infinite color possibilities. Two-tone color effects are easily possible with these products too. These products give the floor a great matte to a satin sheen with a rich, velvety look and leave the texture of the wood itself intact. They come in one-coat or two-coat systems and have low to no VOCs, so they are very green-friendly and have low odors. These products can be spot repaired, meaning that if you get a big scratch in the middle of your floor, we could fix just that spot rather than go from wall to wall or do the whole room. This cannot be done with traditional polyurethanes. These products are similarly priced to the two-component water-based and require a little more maintenance than a polyurethaned floor, such as a maintenance oil coat every 12-24 months for the homeowner can do. You can walk on these products 4-6 hours after they are put down. These products reach complete cure in 24 hours, meaning you can put furniture and area rugs back on the next day, and when you need a recoat, we can go around any heavy furniture.
