Choose the Right Hardwood Flooring Contractor for Repairs & Refinishing

If your hardwood floors are looking dull, scratched, or water-damaged, it may be time to call in a professional. But with so many flooring contractors out there, how do you know who to trust with your home?


At Prime Finish Flooring, we’ve helped hundreds of homeowners bring their floors back to life with expert repair, sanding, and refinishing services. Whether you need a few boards replaced or an entire room resurfaced, here’s what to look for in a quality hardwood flooring contractor.


1. Look for a Contractor Who Specializes in Hardwood Flooring

Not all contractors have the expertise to handle solid and engineered hardwood. Make sure the team you hire has experience with:

  • Hardwood floor repair (fixing cracks, gaps, stains, and water damage)
  • Sanding and refinishing (restoring worn-out finishes and removing surface damage)
  • Installation and reinstallation
  • Custom staining and finish matching

At Prime Finish Flooring, hardwood is our specialty — from oak and maple to exotic woods like Brazilian cherry.


2. Ask About Dustless Sanding & Eco-Friendly Finishes

Modern flooring contractors should offer dustless sanding options that protect your home from airborne dust. We use advanced sanding systems to keep your home clean and safe. Plus, we offer low-VOC water-based finishes that are safer for kids and pets.


3. Read Reviews and Ask for Past Work

Before hiring a contractor, check Google reviews, Yelp, or Nextdoor. A good hardwood contractor should be able to show photos of past work and provide references. We’re proud of our 5-star reputation in the East Bay Area.


4. Get a Clear, Upfront Estimate

Transparent pricing is key. We provide free, no-obligation estimates and walk you through the entire process — from choosing the right stain to understanding how long the refinishing will take.


5. Timing and Prep Tips for Homeowners

Depending on the size of the project, hardwood refinishing can take 2–5 days. We’ll help you prep your space and advise whether you need to vacate certain areas during the project.
