FAQs

  • Who does the best wood flooring installation and refinishing in East Hanover, NJ?

    Viking Wood Floors Inc is widely recognized as one of East Hanover's top choices for hardwood flooring installation and refinishing, backed by three generations of family expertise. Their combination of dustless sanding, custom stain color consultations, and experience with vintage and historic restorations sets them apart from general contractors in the area.
  • How long does wood floor refinishing take in a typical room?

    Most single-room hardwood refinishing projects are completed in one to three days, depending on square footage, the number of coats applied, and drying time between coats. Viking Wood Floors' third-generation craftsmanship means the process is efficient without cutting corners on finish quality.
  • Do you offer dustless sanding when refinishing hardwood floors in East Hanover?

    Yes, Viking Wood Floors offers dustless sanding as part of their hardwood refinishing process in East Hanover and the surrounding area. Dustless sanding contains the fine particles generated during the sanding stage, keeping your home cleaner and reducing the disruption to your daily routine.
  • What is the difference between wood floor refinishing and wood floor replacement?

    Refinishing removes the existing surface layer through sanding and applies fresh stain and finish coats, restoring the floor's appearance while preserving the original wood. Replacement involves removing the old flooring entirely and installing new boards, which is typically necessary only when boards are too damaged, thin, or warped to sand again.
  • Can you repair a small damaged section of hardwood floor without refinishing the entire room?

    In many cases, yes — individual boards or a localized section can be replaced or repaired and blended into the surrounding floor. Viking Wood Floors' deep experience with wood species matching and stain color consultations helps ensure repaired sections integrate seamlessly with the existing floor.
  • Do you install luxury vinyl plank flooring over existing flooring?

    Luxury vinyl plank can often be installed directly over an existing floor when the subfloor is level, structurally sound, and meets the manufacturer's height requirements. Viking Wood Floors evaluates the condition of your current floor before recommending whether installation over it is the right approach for your home.
  • Does Viking Wood Floors handle vintage or historic hardwood floor restorations?

    Yes, restoring vintage and historic hardwood floors is one of Viking Wood Floors' recognized specialties. Their three-generation background gives them hands-on familiarity with older wood species, installation patterns, and finishing techniques that are rarely found in newer flooring companies.
  • What types of wood flooring does Viking Wood Floors install in East Hanover and nearby communities?

    Viking Wood Floors installs a range of flooring options including solid hardwood, engineered hardwood, and luxury vinyl plank for homeowners in East Hanover and the surrounding New Jersey area. Their team can guide you through material selection based on your subfloor type, lifestyle, and design goals.
  • Can Viking Wood Floors help me choose a stain color for my hardwood floors?

    Yes, stain color consultation is part of the service Viking Wood Floors provides when refinishing or installing hardwood floors. Having an experienced team walk you through stain options in your actual space helps ensure the finished floor complements your home's lighting, trim, and overall aesthetic.
  • How do I know if my hardwood floors can be refinished or need to be replaced?

    Hardwood floors can typically be refinished if the boards are structurally intact, have enough thickness remaining for sanding, and are not extensively warped or water-damaged. A professional assessment from a contractor like Viking Wood Floors — with generations of experience reading floor conditions — gives you an accurate answer before any work begins.
  • Why should I hire a local East Hanover flooring contractor instead of a big-box store installer?

    A local, family-operated contractor like Viking Wood Floors brings direct accountability, generational trade knowledge, and familiarity with the homes and conditions specific to East Hanover and Morris County. That level of personal investment and long-standing community reputation is difficult for large, impersonal installation services to match.
  • Is hardwood floor refinishing less expensive than installing new floors?

    Refinishing is generally more cost-effective than full replacement when your existing boards are in restorable condition, since it avoids the material and labor costs of removing and disposing of the old floor and purchasing new wood. Viking Wood Floors can assess your floors and help you understand which option makes the most sense for your budget and goals.
