Are you looking to sand and refinish hardwood floors in Yorktown 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 Yorktown NY 10598, call us at 914-937-2950 and let us "bring the store to your door."

All of us can use more time in the week...and now DocuSign promises to save real estate agents 3 hrs a week. Kind of makes me want to become a real estate agent because I could really use those extra 3 hours.
While I definitely need more down time from work, for purposes of this, I'm going to talk about how I would productively use my time to better build my biz...because if I can do that, ultimte, I can take more than 3 hrs a week.
My big focus would be concentrating on past customers - reconnecting with them to see if they have friends that they can refer and who knows...the hope is that soon they will be ready for their next flooring project.
Past customers is where it's at...they already know you and your work. And, they are happy with you. I love doing work with past customers...much higher close rate and for sure more fun. I already know their decor, I know their tastes and I know their general budget. There is a level of trust there - trust in that you will do a good job, that you are giving them good advice, and that you will deliver on what you say you will.
I would start by making phone calls and maybe for some of the commercial jobs, I would stop by. I would also send some emails (and I need to be sure to get my monthly email newsletter out).

Do you know that feeling when you lose something very important to you and you think you may never find it again?
It's really an awful feeling. It's ironic because I was just having a conversation about this w/ my afternoon customer. They were away and lost their puppy July 4th weekend (he was terrorized by the fire works). 3 days later they found him...he was all raggedy but happy to be re-united and they were thrilled.
And, that puppy is such a cutie, and I could so relate as we had a very similar experience when I was 13 and we lost our dog...and found her 5 days later. While I was always thrilled to see my dog, never had I been so happy to see her w/ tears running down my eyes.
Well this is not quite the same thing because it didn't involve a life, but I'm in Starbucks (what else is new?). I go to pay...and I'm speechless as I look down at my hand..and I see my sapphire is missing from my ring! Of course I love my ring...but really I love what it symbolizes. It was a gift from my grandmother from almost 28 yrs ago - her last gift to me before she passed away. It's my birthstone and I designed the ring.
I looked all around for it in the store (and several people helped me). Went out to the car, traced my steps, looked in my car, looked in my purse. Nothing. Sick to my stomach. I have a ton of work to do but can't concentrate nor even drink my cofffee since I'm so upset.
I then completely emptied my purse (since a nice customer told me abt how she lost a diamond bracelet in NYC and had finally found it there), and voila...the very last thing I scooped up is that lovely beautiful shiny blue sapphire.
I love you Grammy Jean, and I always will!
Have you every lost something dear to you and then found it?
