Hardwood Floor Installation
Professional hardwood floor installation creates lasting beauty in any space. Our certified specialists handle all aspects from subfloor preparation to precise plank placement. We offer multiple wood species including oak, maple, hickory, and exotic options with various finishes to match your home's aesthetic. Our installation process ensures proper acclimation, expansion gaps, and secure fastening for decades of durability.
Hardwood Floor Refinishing
Revive worn hardwood floors to their original splendor through professional refinishing. Our multi-step process includes sanding, stain application, and protective coating. We address visible scratches, water damage, and uneven surfaces while preserving the wood's natural character. Using commercial-grade equipment, we achieve smooth, uniform results that extend flooring lifespan by decades with minimal maintenance required.
Recoating Finished Floors
Restore shine to finished floors without disruptive sanding. Our proprietary Bona system cleans, buffs, and applies protective layers to rejuvenate surfaces. This eco-friendly solution works on existing finishes while maintaining indoor air quality. Ideal for maintaining high-traffic areas between full refinishing cycles, this service offers quick turnaround with lasting protection against wear.
Finish Carpentry
Custom finish carpentry enhances interior spaces with precision millwork. Our craftsmen install baseboards, window casings, door trim, and specialty features like tongue-and-groove ceilings. We match existing architectural styles or create new designs to complement renovated spaces. All work uses premium materials and traditional joinery techniques for seamless integration with your flooring projects.
Concrete Floor Refinishing
Transform worn concrete floors with professional refinishing solutions. Our process addresses cracks, stains, and surface imperfections through grinding, patching, and protective coating. Commercial and residential clients benefit from improved aesthetics and increased durability without full replacement. We apply decorative finishes that mimic natural stone or create custom patterns to suit any space.

Questions
What are the signs my hardwood floors need refinishing?
Visible scratches, dull appearance, water stains, warping, or worn finish in high-traffic areas indicate refinishing needs. Our specialists assess floor condition to determine if sanding and refinishing will restore optimal appearance and durability.
Do you offer dust-free sanding options?
We use advanced dust-containment systems that capture 99% of particles during sanding. While no system is completely dust-free, our equipment minimizes cleanup by emptying bags frequently and using HEPA filtration for improved air quality.
What flooring options do you provide?
We offer solid hardwood, engineered wood, laminate, and commercial vinyl flooring. Our selection includes prefinished planks, onsite-finished options, and specialty products like Pergo-certified installations to suit various budgets and performance requirements.
Are your installers direct employees or subcontractors?
All our flooring specialists are direct employees with extensive training in installation and refinishing techniques. This ensures consistent quality control and accountability for every project from start to finish.
What warranty do you provide?
We offer a one-year warranty covering both craftsmanship and materials. This warranty protects against defects in workmanship and ensures proper installation or refinishing when following our maintenance recommendations.
Can you match existing floor stains?
Our specialists precisely match stains to blend new installations with existing floors. Using advanced color-matching techniques, we've successfully integrated modern hickory with traditional red oak and other wood combinations for seamless transitions.

Wade and his crew are the best! Their bid was reasonable, work exceptional and they worked diligently to complete my flooring project in a timely fashion. They were here when scheduled and worked until it was finished. The floor turned out more beautiful than I could have ever have imagined! In my opinion, there is no one out who could do the job better.

Wade and his crew were exceptional, on time, friendly, and thorough. We had a corner area install in our kitchen to match the rest of our flooring after tearing cabinets out. They did a great job piecing in the new floor and they did a great job refinishing the rest of our floors. They even matched the stain really well so our red oak flows seamlessly with our hickory. Some companies were charging extra for dust free, but Wade was upfront saying they theyre all the same as long as you empty your bags often - and that they did. We had minimal dust and they did a great job! Highly recommend

Wade and his team recently refinished the hardwood floors of my 56 year old home. 25 years of children and dogs running on the floors. The work they performed to bring my floors back to life is amazing! I image they look as beautiful as when the home was brand new. We have had many compliments on the work that was done by both family and friends. I would, without question, recommend Minnesota Hardwood floors to anyone. Their work is outstanding!

Wade and his son Ryan were the consummate professionals. We had a honey oak floor refinished and a new oak floor installed in February of 2020. Wade thoroughly explained the process and Ryan and his crew were very meticulous. They did exactly what they said they were going to do and more. They were always on time and finished the project on time. We love our new floors!

Wades team helped me with a major floor renovation with multiple areas to patch in and match 50 year old hardwood. His team worked around my progress of adding cabinets, doors, etc with unbeatable professionalism. In the end, anyone who enters my home since flooring was completed is completely blown away. They cant tell that walls were moved, a kitchen was expanded, and a sunroom was converted into living space. Wades team made everything look seamless and brand new. I couldn't recommend them more and will definitely be calling them again for flooring projects in the future.
