Historic Oak Refinishing — 1920s–1940s Homes in Rochester
Rochester Floor Pros
Period-appropriate refinishing for Rochester's 1920s–1940s housing stock. Pittsford, Park Ave, and East Avenue homes typically have 3/4" tongue-and-groove oak with 2–3 refinish cycles remaining.
Typical price
$3–7 per sq ft
What's included
- Wear-layer measurement before quote (saves you from re-sanding past the tongue)
- Three-grit sand sequence (36 → 60 → 80/100) on drum + edger + buffer
- Period-appropriate finish options (oil-modified poly, hardwax oil, or shellac)
- Stain matching for partial-room repair to existing color
- Historic-home dust containment (older HVAC + plaster walls trap dust differently)
- Vent and register removal + reseat included
