Hardwood floor refinishing takes years of training to truly master.
When deciding on a hardwood flooring contractor to refinish your hardwood floors, it's important to consider that you get what you pay for.
If you only focus on the price per square foot, you will be missing out on the best value for your money.
Our employees are certified in the Lagler Premium Sanding Technology (PST) methods to obtain premium wood surfaces using our Lagler sanding equipment.
First sanding cut: we cross-cut all hardwood floors at an angle with our Lagler HUMMEL belt sander to make sure your floor is completely flat.

Dust mop or vacuum the floor on a regular basis to remove dirt and grit that may cause premature wear of the floor finish.
This is the most important thing you can do to properly maintain your floors.
Dirt and grit acts like sandpaper on your finished floors, gradually wearing it down over time.
Clean your hardwood floors with a specific hardwood floor cleaner such as Glitsa Clean.
Glitsa Clean is water-based, biodegradable, neutral pH solution designed to clean hardwood floors without dulling the finish or leaving a residue behind.

Conversion Varnish (Swedish finish): this type of finish is often referred to as "Glitsa" because it is manufactured by the company Glitsa American, Inc. Conversion Varnish is a two-component finish with alcohol as the solvent and cures because of acid catalyzation.
It was developed in Sweden in the early 1950's and introduced to the U.S. market later that decade.
Berlin Flooring has been using this finish since the 1960's; we were the first company to bring this finish into Colorado.
Swedish finishes are extremely durable and quick-drying, allowing multiple coats to be applied in one day.
