Somebody that doesn't speed talk and make us listen to annoying music, how refreshing

Man!!! This video is golden!! My wife and I just purchased an older home that still has the original hardwood flooring. This video gave me the confidence to take on this task. Thanks for making this video!

I really appreciate how thorough he was with explaining every single step in precise detail

About to make an offer on a house full of hardwood that all needs to be restored. I feel a little more confident in my decision to move forward now. Thanks!!

Glad I came across this. Just bought my house and the hardwood is beautiful for the most part. Definitely needs some love though. You made this look easy enough for me to be comfortable doing it myself.

Besides the excellent knowledge, I love how you pass it on. It's like I'm listening to my late father or a buddy trying to teach me. I always learn alot. Thanks so much.

In 1979, I refinished 1300 square feet of hardwood floors in our first house. The house was originally built in 1945. The previous owners had covered the hardwood with carpet. We pulled the old stained carpet up and saw the original hardwood flooring. My total cost to refinish the floors myself was $179.00. That cost included rental fees, sealer and oil based polyurethane. The floors still looked great, when we sold that house eleven years later. Hardwood floors are much easier to keep clean than carpet.

this is the best one I have seen. This video just made me feel so much more confident on refinishing the floors at the fixer upper house I just purchased

Thank you Shannon! We are renovating our first house, and we have found your videos so helpful, thorough, smart, and calming. When I pulled this one up without looking closely at who made it first, I said out loud, "Oh yay, Shannon!" Thanks for the work you do!

Me and my husband are buying our first house next month and are basically DIYing everything. Helpful video, thank you so much!

[reducedeffort]

Your videos are excellent. The time you take in explaining everything thoroughly is unique and needed. Thank you.

Thank you my Canadian brother. Watching your vidio has given me the self confidence to do this project by myself.

[spiritmoon]

Those floors look great! This is the exact same width and type of flooring boards I have. I’m getting prepared to do this. Thank you for your simple instructions. I’m so excited!

This was a great video. You were clear, you spoke at a good pace, and you walked us through the entire process from start to finish. I feel a lot more confident in refinishing my floor now. Thanks!

I really appreciate how you put everything in simple terms that are easy to understand and go step by step. This video was very easy to follow and very helpful. Thank you.

[srinathmaddur]

Thanks for your video. You have explained the entire process very meticulously. I am now going to give it a try on my hardwood floor.

[johnnyblaze]

Not a big talker just a great teacher. You really show the process the real steps involved and the things you encounter doing the job. Very helpful for a 1st time attempt. Thanks very much I know what I'm getting into now

[timj]

Great job, thank you for these videos. Just one thing always use plastic on the carpet to protect from stain.

If your using an orbital sander only, say for small hallway/room; just hook the vacuum hose to the sander itself.
