Hard Wood Floor Finishes in Gainesville, Florida

Wooden floors are beautiful and elegant, but they require lots of work to stay that way. If proper maintenance steps are not followed, wooden floors simply lose their luster and make the entire property look less than inviting. That is why their shine and shimmer must be protected. A great way to do that is with a floor finish. 

For their durability, water-resistance, and minimal maintenance, surface finishes are very popular. They are blends of synthetic resins, commonly referred to as urethanes or polyurethanes, and remain on the surface long after it is dry to form a protective coating. For customers in Gainesville, Alachua, Lake Como, and throughout our North Florida service area, the floorcare experts from Dreyer's Carpet Care provide superior floor finishes for hardwood floors.
