We get a bunch of hits from people looking for information about refinishing floors, choosing between satin & semi-gloss poly, etc. All our floor refinishing posts are listed under the “JDL Floors” category but I thought listing them all in one place would be easier.
Our floors were 130 year old pine planks of varying widths and original to the home. While we briefly considered doing it ourselves, we chose to hire a professional (JDL Flooring) and are VERY glad we did. They were able to do it faster & more efficiently than we ever could, all for a very reasonable price. We had all 3 floors of our living area done, so about 1300 square feet in total.
Without further adieu, I give you . . . FLOOR REFINISHING! dun-duh-DUUNNN!!

thank you so much. I love your site and I found it soooooohelpful. I’m in the process of doing my floors circa 1910 and I am going through the smae thought processes you did. I think I will also go with provincial. thanks eja
So welcome!! Even a year later, I’m really glad we went with Provincial. It’s dark but not too dark. There is a lot of variation of color; just how the wood absorbed it differently in different places. I plan on using light colors on the walls, as the building is a max 18′ wide, and find the darker floors very grounding. Good luck with your floors! I’m sure they’ll turn out beautifully.

Hello,
I was just going through some home décor and lifestyle related sites and blogs and came across your site (brickcitylove.com) too. I really found it interesting and informative. I am working and associated with many sites as a content writer and I write articles on various topics like: home improvement, fashionable curtains, rugs, home lightning, modern furniture, lifestyle, crafting, cooking, gardening, etc. I really liked the way you have presented your site. I would love to do a “Guest Post” for your site like I did for other sites without charging you a penny. 🙂
It would be great to be a part of reputed site like yours.
I guarantee you that the article will be 100% copyscape protected and will be of around 500 words. In exchange of this I need only one “dofollow” link for my site at the bio section.
I am not interested in any kind of sponsored fees.
Contact me at writer.angela1990[@]gmail[.]com. Looking forward for a positive reply. 🙂
Thanks and regards,
