Hardwood floor sanding
Sanding is a vital part of the flooring process. Floor Sanding is done for new installations of unfinished material, as well as for refinishing an existing floor. The 'Industry' struggles with onsite refinishing, which has made prefinished floors popular. However, one day even those once pre-finished floors will need to be refinished. Joseph Scerri treats each floor-sanding job according to the situation at hand. The industry is known for a procedure of rough, medium, and fine
sand, which makes a very mechanical job. A job needs to be treated according
to the present situations involving stained finishing or other applications.
Considerations: Floors may be too thin to re-sand; this
can be attributable to age, inferior product, and or over sanding. Our
first priority is to take every measure to preserve existing floors. Options
can then be provided based on the condition of your floor. Our goal is
to treat your wood floor like fine furniture.
New York wood floor repairs and restoration
Repairs and restoration requires a discerning eye and technique of crafts. For restorations, wood
floors should be treated like fine furniture. Over the years, Joseph Scerri
has visited many homes and has witnessed attempts contractors have made
at repairing wood flooring. Antique and older flooring especially require
more patience and knowledge of product and application both on materials
and finishing. My first choice has always been to repair and restore rather
than remove original work. Older floors have aged and amber finishes.
Joseph Scerri will personally come and match woods for repair. For fine
repairs of older floors, Joseph likes to personally visit.
Hardwood and parquet floor installation
The right choice for installation
is one of the most important considerations when choosing someone to work
on your project. At Scerri we love to do the work. Our installations are
done by our own staff and are not sub-contracted out. Therefore, each
project is done with old world integrity and not by a get paid per foot
basis. When a sub-contractor gets paid by the foot, they tend to rush
over the work. Our industry is fast paced! At Scerri Quality Wood Floors
we will insure the integrity of our work and keep your project moving
along according to schedule. All work is 100% guaranteed.
Considerations:What
type of subfloor do you have? Some products may not suit your installation
criteria and other products have specific installation guidelines that
must be followed. We can help you.

liming, white washing to deep ebony. All of our colors are hand done with
several applications and technique to achieve the most natural looking

Custom Staining as opposed
to picking a color from a Minwax color chart and expecting that your floor
will look like that color. How disappointing 90% of the time the color
looks nothing like what you saw on that paper. Custom staining is a mixture
of several colors of oil pigments to create rich, deep tones of color
enhancement. Application by hand and technique is crucial and unique for
each color. Most of the rich colors for staining require 3-4 coats. We
treat each custom stain application differently for each specie and on
site samples are provided for approval. Come view our custom stain colors
at our two showroom locations.
