Hardwood Floor Refinishing in Cranbury, NJ
Paulo Floors provides hardwood floor refinishing for homeowners in Cranbury and throughout Mercer County. Scratched, dull or dated hardwood doesn't need to be replaced — Paulo sands the floor down evenly, then stains and refinishes it to look new again, including matching new sections into existing floors.
Refinishing is usually faster and more affordable than replacing a floor outright, and it can bring worn hardwood back to a like-new look without tearing anything out.

Reviews from actual clients.
Paulo installed new hardwood floors in my house and did an amazing job — we get compliments on it all the time. He was a joy to work with, the work was done on time, professionally, and the guys left the house clean. Strongly recommend for any flooring needs!
Paulo and his crew are fabulous! He's knowledgeable about hardwood and LVP flooring, went above and beyond sanding and staining our existing hardwood, feathering in a section so it matched perfectly.
Great customer service, quality results.

Can my floors be refinished instead of replaced?
In most cases, yes — refinishing is often a faster, more affordable way to restore hardwood.
How many times can a floor be refinished?
Solid hardwood can typically be refinished multiple times over its life, depending on how much wood remains above the tongue and groove.
Will the new finish match my existing floors?
Paulo works to match stain color as closely as possible when blending refinished sections with existing hardwood.
How long before I can walk on my floors again?
Drying time depends on the finish used — Paulo will let you know what to expect for your project.
