Jim and his crew did my hardwoods throughout my entire house about 8 years ago. 3 kids under 10, 2 dogs etc. and theyvd held up great!

Refinishing a floor is a big investment, and my wife and I spent a while researching different companies to refinish the red oak floors throughout our new home. We decided to contract Jim & Andrea because of their commitment to craftsmanship and their eye for detail. Through each stage of the process, they were responsive and dedicated to doing the best job possible. Jim and Andrea spent the time to think through and explain opinions on color options, floor finish options and how they work the sanding process. After working through the grits on sanding, we came out with a masterpiece with superconsistent, smooth floors. We were so excited to see the finished product once the team was done! On a personal note, Jim & Andrea are lovely people who clearly care about their clients. I would hire them again if I had to do it all over. Choosing DVH is worth the investment!

We recently used this company and were very impressed with their professionalism and very pleased with the results. They ripped out our old carpeting from the living room, 2 hallways and stairs. Then they refinished our wood floors in the living room and dining room. We chose the perfect stain for our floors with Jim's guidance. He and his partner worked very hard to give us beautiful floors.

I began a major renovation recently that involved removing a load bearing wall, replacing a linoleum floor in the kitchen and refinishing the entire hardwood floor – kitchen, living room and dining area. After meeting with Jim and Andrea – I knew I has settled on the right match and after having all of that work performed, I know that I made an excellent choice. Jim and his assistant Lewis did such an incredible job for me….I really couldn’t be happier with the results. They converted the linoleum floor in the kitchen area with hardwood that they feathered into the existing hardwood floor in the dining and living room area, repaired any issues that existed in the original floor AND replaced a slate floor at my foyer with a gorgeous hardwood parquet that just crowns the whole project wonderfully. Jim understands how to treat a hardwood floor in a way that brings the natural grain out like no other floors I have ever seen. Altogether, he buffed the floor 5 times! He took his time – this wasn’t a run in and get out in one day project and if that is what you are looking for, you have come to the wrong guy. If you want a master craftsman – someone who will give you an incredible final product, then I strongly suggest you reach out to Jim at Delaware Valley Hardwoods. I absolutely promise you won’t be disappointed. I love my new floor and everyone who has come over to see if has had the same response. It looks Magnificent!

We've used Jim and his team twice now in the past 5 years and both times have been impressed with the results and his appreciation for the nuances of an older home. We most recently worked with him to install new heartwood pine floors. We didn't end up ordering the material with him, but him and his team thankfully were able to help to receive the delivery with us, which would have been an absolute nightmare without the extra muscle. He guided us towards a linseed oil finish which feels super period appropriate and even helped with some color correction once we realized the original color we chose was lighter than anticipated. Overall, if you're looking for a contractor who is well versed in materials and techniques that fit within an older home, this is who you want to work with.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do Delaware Valley Hardwoods' refinishing projects usually take?

Typical refinishing projects take about 3–5 days, depending on floor area and the number of coats.

Can homeowners stay at home while Delaware Valley Hardwoods refinishes floors?

In most cases, yes. Sanding creates noise and a small amount of dust, and stain or finish application can cause temporary odors.

What must be cleared before the company starts refinishing?

Furniture, rugs and other items must be removed from the work area. Closets should also be emptied if hardwood floors extend into them.

Can Delaware Valley Hardwoods refinish engineered hardwood?

It depends on the thickness of the top veneer; very thin wear layers may not allow refinishing.

When can rugs be returned after a refinishing project?

The company recommends waiting at least two to four weeks before returning rugs to newly refinished floors while the finish cures.
