Refinished my floors on my own. Got through the sanding process and was unsure of how to properly finish them. Stopped by Pete's and asked a few questions, best move I could have made. The staff was knowledgable, friendly and informative. We basically got a 20 minute lesson in staining and poly application. The products we bought costed us more than the big box stores, but the quality of them is unmatched by those stores. Pair that with help along the way, and my floors turned out better than I could have imagined! If you're thinking of doing your floors yourself, but are worried about the process

The folks at Pete's Hardwood Floors have been extremely helpful to me. I am tackling the project of refinishing the hardwood floors in my 200 year old home and they have provided some great information on their website as well as videos on their Youtube page. I had called the store with a few questions prior to ordering and they were very helpful and made the whole process as easy as possible despite being across the country. Thanks again for all your help!!

After having read blog after blog of people refinishing old floors in an afternoon, it took me a while to accept the advice Pete's was giving me that it would likely take two people a long weekend to sand 300 square feet of 100 year old maple. However, once I came to terms with this I was able to, with the help of a friend, transform my floors from disgusting to beautiful for under a thousand dollars! This was the first thing in my experience renovating a home that actually went better than expected, and it's all thanks to Pete's, especially the supremely helpful and knowledgeable "hardwood floor

We were nervous about doing our wood floors ourselves and after receiving a few quotes from contractors that made our heads spin we decided we had to do it ourselves. Then I found Pete’s and all went well from then on. It truly was a great experience! Kadee is one of a kind a master at all things wood floors she was instrumental in making us feel comfortable and confident. Really love how the floors turned out. The pet stains we had actually sanded out after some extra attention with the 36 grit :) Thanks Pete’s!!

A small but extremely well run shop. My wife and I were very impressed with Pete's. Our project: 1200 sq feet of red oak in our 1950 home(a mix of new install, existing and reclaimed).
Our prior sanding experience: none
A bit of feedback on how it went:
They were very good at setting expectations - it was a physically demanding job. Don't let that scare you.
The advice & training they gave was solid and experience based. We needed every bit of it.
We decided to change the color of our floors with stain and learned why this is not recommended. For one, it was a lot more work. Also, several
