Our small dining room really could use some level of refinishing to in the traffic pattern around the table. Is is possible to some kind of "limited impact" minor refinishing by hand or other? Wanted to minimize dust, etc. Unfortunately we had to move in in a hurry and didn't have the luxury of getting certain things done while the house is empty. I'm game to try it myself, or pay someone. Open wide doorway to the living room, smaller ones to the hall and kitchen. Any advice appreciated! Not looking for perfect, just better.... |

Russo did ours, and I can't imagine a better combination of speed, price, neatness, and agreeableness. |

I strongly second that recommendation. We had Claudio Russo out to do our top two floors and the basement before we moved in and I was amazed at his cleanliness, professionalism and speed. Also, the finished floors are outstanding. I got multiple quotes and his was the best combination of value and competence.
He'll be back in a couple weeks to finish the first floor, where we were doing some remodeling.

Cynic - if the area is not in really bad shape a floor refinisher may be able to just screed (sp?) the floor and do a couple of coats of polyurethane, instead of a full sanding.
Also there are various "floor renew" products on the market (many on TV infomercials) that may or may not help. We have never tried these, so I can't speak for how well they work. |
