Hardwood Floor Sanding & Refinishing in Bolton, CT
If your hardwood floors are scratched, dull, or starting to look worn, refinishing can bring them back without having to replace them.
At Amazing Hardwood Floors, sanding and refinishing is a big part of what we do. We work with homeowners and businesses across Bolton and throughout Connecticut, restoring hardwood floors so they look clean, even, and built to last.
Is Refinishing Better Than Replacing?
In a lot of cases, yes.
If your floors are still structurally sound, refinishing is usually the better option. It removes surface damage and applies a new finish so your floors look updated again.
Refinishing is a good option if:
- Your floors look dull or faded
- There are scratches or light surface damage
- You want to change the color or finish
- The wood underneath is still in good shape
If you’re not sure, we can take a look and let you know what makes the most sense.

Testimonials
EXCELLENT Based on 330 reviews Posted on Joshua BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn’t be happier with the work Amazing Hardwood Floors LLC did on the 2,200 sq ft of original wood flooring in my 1918 home in Windsor, CT. Brennan, Nate, and their crew treated the project with true craftsmanship and respect for the age and character of the house. They restored floors that were worn, uneven, and tired, and brought them back to life in a way I didn’t think was possible. Their communication was excellent, their timeline was accurate, and the pride they take in their work shows in every room. The transformation is stunning. If you want a team that delivers exceptional quality and genuinely cares about the outcome, this is the company to hire.Posted on BillyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had experiences with 4 flooring companies in my career as a restaurant owner. AHF was in a league of its own! The whole staff was enthusiastic, polite and very good at what they do. It was a large job done after hours which is priceless, they wanted to work within my schedule. They earned my loyalty and are getting another phone call soon for another project. Lastly the job was to remove ceramic tiles and replace them, a large square foot area, all done in two nights! The restaurant never missed a beat. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to any and all that are looking for a terrific experience.Posted on Mr. “Wileysbuddy”Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing Floors did a great job for us. We enjoyed dealing with Mike and his crew and we couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend using this company.Posted on Terry BritnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great job done in a short amount of time.Posted on Colin CampbellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had AHF come to refinish our 100-year-old hardwood floors as well as install new carpeting and stair runners. I can't say enough good things about the ease of the process and quality of the work performed. They worked with us the whole way to make sure things were done well, done right, and within budget. Highly recommend.Posted on Maria P.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

They did a great job blending old floor to new floor. I would recommend them to anyonePosted on Michael C (Mike)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had my kitchen and dining room floors refinished and they did a great job. They were very reasonably priced with professional crews and a responsive salesman, Jeff. I will be using them again in the future.Posted on Gregory CiparelliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing Hardwood was fantastic to work with. Brennan was thorough & nimble & able to accommodate some really unique circumstances as we removed the existing flooring. He offered several options, and I relied on his expertise greatly as we scoped out the project. Truly a collaborative decision and it ended up with a fantastic install that I couldn’t be happier with! The install team, led by Dominic, was also incredibly polite & efficient and thorough in making sure I got a quality install job that accommodated some of the unique demands of a house that had been thoroughly DIY’d in the past. These guys are great! Can’t recommend them highly enough!
