One licensed, insured contractor for every floor refinishing need in Durham County.
Full Sand & Refinish
Complete drum sanding down to bare wood, custom stain application, and 2–3 coats of finish. The most thorough refinishing option for Durham floors with deep scratches or color changes.
Custom Staining
Choose from dozens of stain colors — natural, gray, dark walnut, ebony, whitewash, and more. We bring stain samples to your free estimate so you can see the exact color on your actual floor.
Water-Based Finish
Fast-drying, low-odor water-based polyurethane in matte, satin, or gloss. Excellent durability and clarity — ideal for Durham homes with pets, kids, or high foot traffic.

Traditional oil-based polyurethane for a warm amber tone and maximum durability. Longer dry time but exceptional hardness — a popular choice for Durham County homes with solid hardwood floors.
Hardwax Oil Finish
Penetrating hardwax oil finish for a natural, matte look that is easy to spot-repair. Increasingly popular in Durham for its low-sheen, Scandinavian aesthetic.

What Durham Homeowners Say
“We wanted to change our floors from a golden oak stain to a modern gray. American Renovation sanded them down to bare wood, applied a beautiful gray stain, and finished with three coats of satin water-based poly. The transformation was incredible — our entire first floor looks like a completely different house. Professional, clean, and on time.”
Michelle K.
Durham, NC
“Our 1970s oak floors had decades of old finish and scratches. American Renovation refinished the entire house — living room, dining room, hallway, and three bedrooms — in three days. They matched the stain perfectly to our existing trim and the floors look absolutely stunning. Highly recommend for any Durham homeowner.”
