  • Greg is the best!!! Truly professional, friendly and very knowledgeable! We closed a house end of Nov and we contacted Greg for installing Hardwood floors in 4 bedrooms and also refinishing the flooring for the rest of the house mid Dec. It was a big project and we had a lot of doubts. Greg helped us through the entire process from picking the right wood to how to think about refinishing. He even worked few weekends to make sure the project was done on time (I was surprised to see him at 8am sharp on the day after Christmas). Highly recommend him!

  • Greg Selby, of Finish First Hardwood Floors, is truly a master at his craft. He is professional, honest, and does the utmost quality work! He provides a free estimate and takes the time to explain different options in terms of how the wood may react to certain stains/finishes. While we don’t anticipate needing to move for years and years to come, should we ever need any hardwoods refinished in the future, we wouldn’t hesitate to call Greg again. We can’t thank Greg enough for helping to make our house a home.

  • We had such a great experience with Finish First Hardwood Floors. Greg was incredibly conscientious. Our floors came out amazing and we couldn’t be happier. He was very accommodating and helped us make decisions given his expertise. He provided examples and sent us updates along the way.

    Ellen Schneider

  • Finish First floors is a unique company in now days in terms of quality of work, and professionalism. When any of my rental units have a flooring needs I know who to call. My rental unit needed a hardwood repair, I called and was answered right away, got a competitive quote based on photos as well as a short lead time to start and finish the work. Greg (the owner) let me know when he was on his way and showed up at the scheduled time. The job took two days to complete and was executed to the highest quality standards. I would definitely recommend Finish First Floors and will hire them again when the need arises.

    Hanan Cohen

  • In a day and age where I think hard work, customer service, and the get up and go get it attitude is dying, enters my man Greg. Most places couldn’t even return my calls; Greg was not only responsive, he fit me in, and did exactly what he said he was going to do, in the timeframe he said he would. Pricing was on point, a true professional who takes pride in his work. I couldn’t be happier, and oh by the way, the floors are mint!

    Tyler Raymond

  • Greg was an outstanding professional to work with! He was on time and did exactly what he said he was going to do. My finished hardwood floors look fantastic! Thanks Greg! I would highly recommend Finish First Hardwood Floors without any reservation!

    Jeannie Russell

  • Finish First Floors was incredible to work with. He refinished my hardwoods and I couldn’t believe they weren’t new! He patched a stain spot with new wood and even refinished my soft wood stairs. He knows exactly what he’s talking about and will also give the best advice on taking care of the floors after he finishes the project. I would use him for any flooring needs in the future!

Frequently Asked Questions

Isn’t this work dusty?

Yes, it is true. Hardwood floor refinishing can be quite dusty, there’s no dancing around that one. Some companies try to claim that there will be no dust, and this is simply untrue – there will always be dust. We are using large, heavy duty sanders to grind away at the top layer of your floor. These sanders are removing the layers of polyurethane, taking out stains, and removing scratches. Our equipment has dust bags that catches the majority of dust, but the rest inevitably ends up in the air. Therefore we make good use of plastic. We plastic off entries and rooms where we are not working, as well as counter tops and appliances left in the room. And of course at the end of the job we pride ourselves in vacuuming  and cleaning up as much as reasonably possible. We also remind our customers if they want another layer of protection against the dust issue, we offer a “dustless” service. The “dustless” service involves connecting vacuums to our sanders, preventing even more dust from escaping into the air.

What kind of polyurethane do I choose?

The two primary types of polyurethanes to choose from are oil based and water based.
Oil is more traditional and time tested. It is very durable and very rich in appearance. Oil is economical in price and most common. However, oil also has slower drying time and considerable fumes. Water is more expensive, but it has quicker drying time and fewer fumes. You can also achieve different looks with water. Good quality water based polyurethane is more durable these days than oil. The option of staining your floor has also become very popular.
