Project overview

The goal, materials, and finished scope.

In September 2026, Floors Now completed a hardwood repair and refinishing project across two bedrooms and a hallway in Enfield. The primary-bedroom repair addressed a localized buckled area near a wall with a reported water issue. The crew replaced approximately 25 square feet with 2 1/4-inch solid red oak and replaced an unstable stair nose at the stair opening. Sanding, staining, and an oil-based finish then completed the 434-square-foot refinishing scope across the primary bedroom, second bedroom, and hallway. All four photographs show the finished result, including the bedroom floors, connecting hallway, and stair-opening detail.
