Hardwood Installation
We install custom hardwood floors using premium European white oak and red oak materials. Our process includes subfloor preparation, precise plank alignment, and finishing with Bona Kemi sealers. Each installation receives tailored recommendations based on wood species and home environment.
Floor Refinishing
Our refinishing service restores worn floors through multi-step sanding, gap filling, and application of waterborne sealers. We specialize in preserving character in antique pine and oak while modernizing appearance with NordicSeal technology.
Repair Services
We address cracks, water damage, and wear through targeted repairs. Services include board replacement, scratch removal, and structural reinforcement while maintaining aesthetic continuity with existing floors.
Prefinished Flooring
Our prefinished options feature engineered European white oak with factory-applied finishes. Available in Classic and Basics lines, these floors offer durability with 7-inch standard widths and multiple color treatments.
Sealer Application
We apply specialized waterborne sealers from Bona Kemi to enhance wood characteristics. Options include NordicSeal for subtle whitening, ClassicSeal for antique floors, and AmberSeal for traditional amber tones without oil-based chemicals.

Very unprofessional and wish we took our business elsewhere. We were given a quote after Tom and Tommy visited our home numerous times. When it came time to start the work they said their quote was off. We against better judgment decided to move on with Wall Street Wood Floors. They did install the floors but we were told that the finish we were originally agreed upon would not be possible and we again would need to pay more money. We approached them with the facts from our original emails and conversations and were told it was just not possible. Needless to say they are no longer handling our

Wall Street Wood Floors refinished my 1915 pine floors. They moved all my furniture out (and moved it back), and did a careful, professional job on my floors with Bona products. I can't believe how beautiful and smooth my floors are now! I highly recommend Wall Street Wood Floors!

Report
Prior to our moving into our home, Wall Street Wood Floors refinished the entire first floor in March of 2015. By December 2015/January 2016 the finish started lifting from the maple floors. Now in 2017, every room that was refinished show signs of the finish lifting. When confronted with the issue, Wall Street Wood Floors would not stand behind the work that was done. They stated they would contact their insurer and have not done that either. Unfortunately, our floors have to be refinished again and we will have to go through the disruption of having to move furniture out of the entire first floor
