- KHKris Hansen-KiefferNov 6, 20255.0Rick and his crew did an amazing job with our wood floor refinish. The crew was kind, professional and tidy. The finished product is flawless.
- ESEric StaufferOct 14, 20255.0Rick and his crew did a fantastic job at our house. We bought a house that was is over 100 years old and brought back the life in the original hardwood floors. His team worked diligently to fit our timeline. 5/5 service. Before and after pictures below
- RDRandy DavisJun 27, 20255.0Fantastic experience with Nissly Hardwood Flooring! Refinished my original cherry floors and made them better then when they were originally installed. Prompt service. On time. Fair price. Thank you all gain.
- MMMikeMar 18, 20251.0UPDATE - still working to fix this awful, awful job by this “professional” outfit. Removing the crap job and installing new white oak. I’ve learned a lot by doing this myself and can easily see the shortcomings of this outfit. 1 - boards that were glued came up easily, glue used was junk. 2 - I PAID for felt underpayment. So far, after removing a 3 ft section (about 7 boards, 5” wide) in the bedroom, NO UNDERLAYMENT. I know I bought it because it was delivered with the wood. 3 - As I’m removing boards, nails average 12” - 18” spacing. Specification for 5” boards is roughly 6” spacing. * Removed one board with no nails at all* 4 - BTW, it’s taking some time to complete but so much better than the awful, crap job this outfit did. 5 - could go on about the crew, but I won’t because Rick SHOULD BE responsible for his company. NOT WORTH ONE STAR!!
- JCJim ClancyFeb 19, 20245.0Based on a past experience, we contacted Nissly Professional Hardwood Flooring when it was time to run hardwood in our entire first floor (except kitchen). Rick is a true professional all and, above all, a gentleman. He has unmatched experience. With his leadership, we have gorgeous flooring installed properly and finished beautifully. It took a while to get on his schedule, but it was well worth the wait. We would not trust anyone else with a hardwood flooring project.
Frequently Asked Questions About Nissly Professional Hardwood Flooring
What is the basic process?
Our process typically spans three days. On day one, we remove the carpet and its fixtures, fill holes, and sand the floor. If needed, we also apply stain. Day two involves applying a sealer coat and the first layer of finish. On the final day, we screen the floor for smoothness and apply the last two coats of finish, buffing between applications.
Will there be a lot of dust?
While some dust is inevitable, our process is designed to be nearly dust-free. We take cleanliness very seriously and implement thorough clean-up procedures throughout the project.
Do we need to move out?
Relocation is not necessary. We use water-borne urethane finishes that are superior to oil-modified alternatives. The floor becomes walkable just three hours after each application. It reaches 90% cure within 24 hours and full cure in a week, allowing for furniture replacement the day after project completion.
Why oil-based?
Oil-based finishes enhance wood patina, reduce grain raise, and offer superior durability. They provide water and urine resistance, allowing for easy cleaning similar to tile floors. Our recommended product includes a UV-blocker for added protection.
How long will it take?
Project duration varies. Refinishing typically takes several days, while complete installations may extend beyond a week. We allow time for wood acclimation to prevent issues like buckling, cupping, or gaps that can occur if the wood isn't properly adjusted to your home's environment.
How do I control the moisture content?
Maintain a moisture level between 35-50 percent. Use warm-air humidifiers in winter and air conditioning in summer. This is particularly important for hardwoods and plank flooring.
What about urine stains?
Urine stains often resist sanding. Options include replacing individual boards, using enzymes and dark stain to minimize odor and discoloration, or angled sanding to lighten the stain. For persistent issues or sun-damaged wood that can't be matched, we recommend complete floor sanding.
Will these fumes hurt my children?
Our low VOC finishes are considered safe for children and pets. We also offer 'green' finishes with very low VOC content for added peace of mind.
What about dust-free sandless options?
Dust-free, sandless methods use chemicals to strip the floor and apply a liquid acrylic wax. While this approach reduces dust, it doesn't address unevenness or damage. The resulting finish shows marks easily and requires frequent maintenance to maintain its appearance.
How do I maintain my floor?
To maintain your floor: use entrance rugs, keep plants off the wood, use furniture glides, clean spills promptly, vacuum regularly with a brush attachment, use a sponge mop in the direction of the wood grain, and avoid abrasive cleaners, waxes, or oil soaps. We provide a recipe for a homemade cleaning solution suitable for your new floor.
