Re- Finish Hardwood floors

We re-finished the hardwood floors in our home. We stripped the old carpet and there were beautiful floors under waiting for our help!

Advice:

Make sure to test out the stain color before applying to the entire floor. We wished we would have done this as we were expecting a more natural looking stain.

We would consider using a professional next time. I think it would be well worth the time and money. It took us so much time and the prep. and cleanup was way harder than I expected.

I had a similar project. I hired a contractor from http://carpenters.networx.com

How long did it end up taking you? I can't even imagine taking on such a huge project - that's bravery! :)
