I saw this compliation of hardwood floor refinishers recently on a neighborhood listserv. The formatting makes sorting out which comments go with which company a little confusing. You’ll have to figure it out yourself.

Bohemia, 308-8500 Mark (maybe 201-1029 also),
$1.75-$2.25/sf install OR refinish (probably
$5.50 installed and finished); 3 coats poly; nice
flyer from Kathleen; “dust free, insured,
licensed & 100% guaranteed); $1.25/lf moulding
(1/3 of total sf); huge list of good references

The cheapest (but still do a great job);
Banks Flooring, 231-8399 (from Leslie Page)
* Bobby Bullock, 528-1708 in Creedmore (every
bit or better than Accent Floors (who is very
expensive), booked way in advance, but worth the
wait… buy new furniture with the savings)
* Accent Hardwood floors; owner Genia Smith (excellent, but $3/sf)
* Elston Hardwood Flooring 383-3616
$1.75-$2/s.f.; light sand & 1 finish coat $0.75/sf
* Just Floors – 419-1925, 1803 Chapel Hill
Rd, Suite #D, Durham F)
287-2342 $2/sf $0.60/sf remove
linoleum (Shonte’s cell 697-9717) — Tracy
Proctor of Just Floors Hardwood Flooring
(919-697-1244). He refinished the floor in one
room for me, but has done more extensive work for
several friends (who are quite picky), and they
were very pleased. His prices are good (much
less than Accent, in my experience), plus he’s a really nice person.
* “Elegant Hardwoods”, much less than others,
Frazee subcontracted them (BUT-uneven sanding,
wavy surfaces, and although I watched them apply
3 coats of polyurethane, they’re wearing very quickly.)
* Stern flooring 479-0222
* Tim Ellis; small family business, competitive. 477-2468
* David Elston to refinish $1.75/sf; no recommendation
* Disconnected phones:
* McLean’s Hardwood Flooring
* Smith Floor Finishing & Covering
