Hi Vicki. My company can sand the floors for you. I know exactly what you mean I installed ...»
pine floors in my home 5 years ago and my wife and I were just saying we need to refinish them. It's the pine. Its a soft wood so it scratches easily. We have a dog which makes it worse, but if you stain them dark they hold up longer because they don't show as many scratches. also using several coats of a water based poly as opposed to oil based poly will give you better results. Give me a call I'll be glad to come out and give you a quote. John Williams 678-683-5360

Hand wash and hand sand is the best way to go. Too bad so many find it too hard to do it well ...»
and opt for the easy way out.
We have an extreme maritime climate, yet local painters can do exterior work that lasts ten years. We get painters from away who take shortcuts and the work lasts five years if the HO is lucky. It is all in the prep!!!
