Essex County is one of the richest hardwood refinishing markets in New Jersey. The grand homes of Montclair, South Orange, and Maplewood contain original hardwood floors — quarter-sawn white oak, red oak, and occasionally American chestnut — that are irreplaceable. Many of these floors have been under carpet for decades, and the refinishing reveal is often spectacular: tight-grained old-growth wood with character and patina that modern lumber simply cannot replicate. Our refinishing approach in these historic homes prioritizes preservation — careful sanding that removes only the minimum material necessary, board-level repairs where needed, and finish choices that enhance the wood's natural grain.
Livingston's ranch homes and colonials from the 1960s and 1970s present a different refinishing opportunity. These homes typically have standard 2-1/4-inch red oak strip flooring that has darkened over the years. Modern refinishing with waterborne finishes brightens the wood and gives these homes the updated look that today's buyers expect. In Millburn and Short Hills, refinishing often involves custom stain matching across rooms where previous owners made additions or repairs with different wood species — blending these areas seamlessly requires the eye and skill of experienced finishers.
Every floor refinishing project in West Orange includes a free in-home consultation, professional subfloor inspection, and a detailed written estimate. We handle everything from material selection to final walkthrough — and we stand behind our work with a satisfaction guarantee.

We wanted to change our golden oak floors to a modern gray tone. Everyone else said we'd need to replace them. VM Power's team sanded the original 1950s oak down to raw wood and applied a custom gray stain. The result is stunning — it looks like a completely different house. Frie...
