Hardwood Floors Define Manchester Homes

Manchester’s diverse housing stock ranges from 19th-century mill worker homes that have been beautifully restored to modern single-family homes in neighborhoods like Youngsville and the Highlands. What many of these homes share is original or classic hardwood flooring that adds warmth, value, and timeless beauty to every room.

Whether your hardwood floors are showing decades of wear in a North End Victorian or just need refreshing in a newer home near Derryfield Park, professional refinishing is one of the smartest investments you can make. Hardwood floors are often the first thing potential buyers notice, and in a competitive Manchester real estate market, well-maintained floors can be the difference between a quick sale and a home that sits.

We recently completed a refinishing project in a historic home near the Currier Museum of Art in the Hanover Hill neighborhood. The original oak floors had been covered with carpet for years but were in excellent condition underneath. After sanding and three coats of satin urethane, they looked absolutely spectacular.

Our Hardwood Floor Refinishing Process

No matter where in Manchester you live, we follow the same time-tested process that has earned us the trust of homeowners for four decades.

Step 1: Sanding

We sand your floors down to bare wood, removing old finish, surface damage, and years of accumulated wear. A thorough vacuuming follows to ensure the surface is perfectly prepared for the next step.

Step 2: Finish Application

We apply three coats of urethane to protect and beautify your floors. Our standard finish is latex-based urethane, which is environmentally friendly and allows most Manchester jobs to be completed within three consecutive days. Oil-based urethane is available for homeowners who prefer it, though the drying time extends the project to approximately one week.

Step 3: Choose Your Finish

Select a satin finish for a warm, understated look that complements traditional New England homes, or choose a gloss finish for a more polished, contemporary appearance. We will walk you through the options and help you make the right choice for your home.
