My best flooring articles on polyurethane and stains

In the Northeast and MidAtlantic areas, hardwood flooring is by far the most popular flooring surface, and it's been installed in homes for hundreds of years.  Hardwood flooring scratches over time and periodically needs to be refinished.

So, I thought I would gather some of my most popular articles for sanding and refinishing.  In particular, this includes information on the best types of polyurethane and stains to use.

• Oil based vs water borne polyurethane - which is better for hardwood?

So there you have it.  These are some of top articles for sanding and refinishing.  Thankfully, these articles continue to get clicks every month, as well as real comments and questions from homeowners across the country.

I hope you find this info helpful.  If you're a real estate agent, this might help both your buyers and sellers.  For sellers, it will help them select the most appealing stain colors for when they are about to put their house on the market.  For buyers, this will help them as they plan ahead for their new home.  Of course, the best time to refinish your floors is before you move in.
