Why Professional Hardwood Floor Finishing Matters
Restore beauty, extend lifespan, and add value
A professional finish revives worn wood, erases scratches and dullness, and seals the surface with a durable protective system. De Leon Hardwood Floors uses industry-leading products and methods to renew color, enhance grain, and create a resilient barrier against foot traffic, spills, and UV exposure—often at a fraction of the cost and time of replacement.
Beyond a beautiful result, a properly finished floor reduces maintenance needs and extends the life of your hardwood. Our locally owned & operated team prioritizes clean, safe, low-VOC solutions and dust containment to protect your home environment while delivering a finish that performs for years.
Thorough preparation, precision sanding, and premium topcoats
We begin with a detailed evaluation, moisture testing, and a clear scope of work. Preparation includes setting nails, board repairs, and gap filling where appropriate. Next, we perform multi-stage sanding (from coarse to fine grits) for a flat, uniform surface, including meticulous edge work and stair treads. HEPA-filtered dust containment minimizes airborne particles and keeps your home cleaner throughout the project.
After vacuuming and tacking, we apply your selected stain or proceed natural, then seal the floor to lock in color and improve adhesion. Multiple professional-grade topcoats follow—applied within precise recoat windows for optimal bonding and clarity. We provide clear guidance on furniture moving, foot traffic timelines, and care during curing, and we finish with a final walkthrough to ensure you love the result.
Select the ideal combination for style, durability, and care
Choose from high-performance waterborne polyurethane for fast curing, low odor, and a clear, non-yellowing look; oil-modified polyurethane for a warm, amber tone with classic character; penetrating hardwax oils for a matte, easily repairable, natural feel; or UV-cured systems for rapid return to service. We’ll help you weigh durability, appearance, and maintenance for your space and lifestyle.
Sheen selection affects both style and upkeep. Matte and satin minimize the look of dust and micro-scratches while offering excellent traction; semi-gloss and gloss highlight grain and depth but require more frequent maintenance to retain a pristine shine. We provide sample boards so you can preview color, sheen, and clarity under your lighting.
Indoor air quality and longevity matter. We specify low-VOC systems when possible, outline realistic cure times, and share best practices: use felt pads, maintain stable humidity, clean with pH-neutral wood floor cleaners, and schedule maintenance recoats before wear reaches bare wood. With proper care, your finish can look new for many years.

Unfortunately, I have had to reach out to most of the hardwood flooring professionals in the area recently. Many stopped responding when they learned about our project, which was simply cleaning and accurately applying maintenance oil to correct manufacturing and installation defects. Others provided incorrect information, and some provided quotes that were truly out of this world. Jorge de Leon was the only professional who was on time, extremely knowledgeable about the products involved and very friendly and respectful of us and our home. He didn't pressure us into choosing the option that would have been the easiest or most profitable for him, and he was very realistic and pragmatic about how we could best get the results we were looking for. He took time to explain the situation to us and discuss the options. He provided a clear written estimate and a written invoice, which also is not always available, even though it is required. Finally, he is licensed for this work. Jorge and his crew did a great job and we are truly grateful that they helped us out on relatively short notice. Based on our experience, I recommend working with them for hardwood flooring needs.
