Floor Refinishing

Thanks ladies for taking the time to respond. As requested, here is the list:

• I used Viking Floors to refinish our floors. They did a great job and were reasonable. They are based in East Hanover. Hard to reach them though.
• D&G Floors @ 973-372-2526. They are very good. They are two brothers who do the work themselves. I used them about 4 years back to refinish my whole house and they did a wonderful job and were very reasonable. The only thing is they told me I only could choose from light, medium and very dark brown. So I picked medium because we live in an old tudor with limited large windows. I had a chance to help my friend and she had a large variety of choices (it may be my type of wood). I have successfully referred them to many women in the group and at my office. Tell them Isabel Wurgaft gave you the name.
• Falcon floors did a nice job for us at a reasonable price
• We used Alpine Flooring. They were professional, reasonably priced and fast. We are very happy with the result. Their number is 201-533-0100.
• We just had our floors refinished in the house we will be moving into in a few weeks. We used the same guy - Roy at K2 Floors (908) 693-4718 is his cell phone number - that we used in our first house in Millburn. He did a great job BOTH times, showed up when he said he would, etc. The ONLY issue you may encounter is a long wait time. He is very busy and we did have to wait one month to get on his calendar, but it was definitely worth the wait. You can tell him my husband – Raffi Grigorian - recommended him.
• We used Keith Force of Force Hardwood Floors (908-241-1477) to rip up and resurface our bedroom floor. He seemed pretty good, although the work he did was done before we moved in. The price seemed OK ($850 to remove/dispose of carpet, sand and apply 3 coats of polyurethane).
• Years ago, we used Robert Metsky of Floorshine Floors in Summit. We loved him!
