Are you looking to sand and refinish hardwood floors in Irvington NY?
It's amazing what a difference refinishing your hardwood flooring can make. Your floors will look brand new and you even have the option to change the color. You can go light, dark, mid tones, or red tones. It can really give your home (or room) a whole new look.
If you have hardwood underneath your carpets, we can restore the beauty of the hardwood underneath. It's amazing what a big difference this can make in your home. And, believe it or not, it is usually less expensive to refinish your floors than to recarpet. Refinishing your wood floors will also improve your home's value and it will be easier to clean and maintain.
At Floor Coverings International, we are a shop at home service. We will bring the "store to your door" so that you can see the flooring and colors in your own home and lighting and color coordinate with your paint colors and decor. When it comes to sanding and refinishing, not only we will help guide you in color selections, but we will also test out a few colors for you on your floor. This is important because every floor is different, so it's best to see what the stain will actually look like on your own floors (rather than a tiny sample).
We offer both the standard refinishing process as well as a dustless sanding system. Dustless sanding costs a bit extra, but many customers feel it's worth it, especially if they have someone with allergies in their household. We offer both oil and water based polyurethane, and we will help you understand the pros and cons on each method.
We are proud of our work, but don't rely on our word...ask our customers! We have won the Angie's list Super Service award 2 years in a row, and you can even check our google reviews online. And, we will gladly provide with a list of over 30 customers to call.
Our estimates are always free. So, when you're ready to refinish your hardwood floors in Irvington NY 10533, call us at 914-937-2950 and let us "bring the store to your door."

Many of my customers need to replace the flooring or carpeting in their basements after flooding and water damage. Once they’ve lived through a flood, and the ensuing damage and smell associated with this (not to mention costs), they are often looking for water proof and water resilient flooring options.
One of my recent customers in Irvington NY 10533 had a bad flood. She called me thinking she wanted tile flooring in her basement. But, it was cold in the basement and she was thought if she did tile she would do radiant heat to warm it up. I said, sure we can help you with the tile and radiant heat, but it's going to be expensive...especially considering it's a basement. She had another issue, too...she couldn't find a tile she liked to go with the stone/granite fireplace...everything seemed to clash and compete with it. She oriiginally wanted hardwood there and wanted to continue the hardwood look that she had throughout the house.
But, she knew that hardwood would not survive the water issues there...and considering they had 2 flooding issues in 6 months, it didn't seem like a good idea to risk it. Thankfully, she called me and allowed me to help her problem solve. While I gave her an estimate for the tile and the radiant heat, I found a much more cost effective and visually appealing option....
.....Luxury Vinyl planks that look like hardwood......
This solution was perfect for her. First, it is waterproof. Second, it looks amazing - it really looks like hardwood and it even is textured with graining to feel like hardwood. Third, it is much more cost effective. It's less expensive than tile and eliminated the need to do radiant heat. (all together, the price was about 1/3 of the price of tile, self leveling mix and radiant heat). Fourth, it's much easier to clean - any all purpose cleaner will work and you avoid the issues of cleaning grout, not to mention the need to reseal it every year.
I can't wait to see this new luxury vinyl that looks like hardwood in her basement. It's a wonderful looking and practical option for basements with flooding or moisture issues.

Celebrate Children's Book Day: Next Saturday 9/25 at Sunnyside in Irvington NY
Got kids? Grandkids? Know any kids? Even young at heart? Then make plans to be at Washington Irving's Sunnyside next Sunday, September 25th for
Celebrate Children's Book Day.
From noon to 6 pm the grounds of historic, romantic Sunnyside estate will host over 60 children's book authors and illustrators, many of whom reside in our own backyard.
There will be readings, demonstrations, signings, magic, and even music-provided by Irvington's own Carole Demas and Paula Janis-co-creators and stars of the beloved TV series, The Magic Garden.
A day spent celebrating children's books would not be complete without some very special guest appearances, so also look to meet up with Clifford the Big Red Dog, Bunnicula, Franklin the Turtle, and Biscuit!
As the cool aunt and uncle, Doug and I are familiar with some, but be sure to check out two of my new favorites, the husband and wife team of Susanna Reich and Gary Golio. Each is multi-talented and award-winning in their own right, they also just happen to be married to each other.
Susanna's unique set of life experiences and her love of dance, music and history all come together her books. For example, in Painting the Wild Frontier: The Art and Adventures of George Catlin, the story is told of the 19th century painter whose art both chronicled and championed the rights of Native Americans during a difficult time in our nation's history. Then, Penelope Baily Takes the Stage the reader journeys right along with a 9 year old who dreams of being an actress, in a time and place when it was not the proper thing to do.
Gary's books take a more modern, but still decidedly unique approach. Fascinated by art in almost any form-the artist and the finished product, as well as the process, his love of 60's music comes through loud and clear: His inaugural When Bob Met Woody, was followed by JIMI: Sounds Like A Rainbow and tell the stories of our musical heroes in their younger years, Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix. (Watch for Spirit Seeker: The Musical Journey of John Coltrane next spring).
Books, by their very presence bring heart and soul into your life, and your space. They bring you places you could not have imagined on your own, how cool is it for someone you love to have that awareness so early on?
Admission is $12.00 adults, $10.00 seniors, $6.00 children 5-17, and free to children under 5, and includes a tour of the the historic home as well. The day is divided into segments, and last admission is at 5pm.
Click here for schedule, list of authors and illustrators, or to buy tickets. Hope to see you there!
