How we do it

Know what happens next, start to finish

From the first call

Daily updates

Our office keeps you posted every day, so you're never guessing where the job stands. Your free estimate sets a specific schedule instead of a vague window, and from there you know what got done, what's next, and which rooms are usable that night.

During the job

Dust contained

Our dustless sanding system captures airborne dust at the source, so you can stay in the house while we work. NWFA certified, Bona certified craftsmen, and an A+ rating with the BBB behind every job.

After the job

10-year warranty

Our finish carries a 10-year warranty. If something's wrong because of how the job was done, we come back and fix it. A warranty is only worth as much as the company behind it, and we've been in New Jersey since 1951.

5 out of 5 stars

We couldn’t be happier with the work Gorsegner Brothers did. Scheduling was easy, they arrived when promised and completed a beautiful refinishing job on our hardwood floors that had been covered in carpeting for over 20 years.

The timing and outcome were both great. The office staff kept us fully informed, and the crew did a great job showing up on time and cleaning their way out. The floors are beautiful!

We first hired Gorsegner Brothers 26 years ago to finish the hardwood floors in our home. The quality of their workmanship was so exceptional that when we recently purchased a house, there was no question who we would call.

Gorsegner Brothers came highly recommended and they not only lived up to, but exceeded my expectations! My old, beaten up staircase is now gorgeous and virtually brand new. Different crews with only perfection in mind made this a wonderful and rewarding experience.

What an incredible experience! Our floors hadn’t been touched in over 30 years and Gorsegner made them shine like new. They were so helpful throughout the entire process and helped us with every decision along the way… I can’t recommend them enough!

We had Gorsegner Brothers come out for an estimate and from the moment the crew arrived we knew we were in good hands. Professional and caring, they took the time to painstakingly redo the problems we had and transformed everything into a furniture-like finish.

A+ service, from start to finish. Each team of specialists all did beautiful work, and each team did really good cleaning up after. Communication was great and the company was so organized. We are so happy with the end results.

Always a great experience having Gorsegner in our home. We’ve used them for multiple projects at different times, and they always do a great job matching everything up… they show up within the given window and leave the work area neat and clean.

Certified New Jersey hardwood flooring contractors.

Anyone can say their work is good. Certification is how you prove it against a standard somebody else set, and it’s the reason we keep earning these rather than just claiming the years.

Common questions

The questions we get asked most

What things cost, how long they take, and what it's actually like having us in the house while we work.

Hardwood installation, sanding and refinishing are the core of what we do, but they aren't all of it. We also handle architectural trim, stair and rail systems, painting, and tile and bathroom work. Bundling those onto a flooring project is common and usually cheaper: same crew, same timeline, nobody to coordinate between.
Most NJ homeowners pay $4–$6 per square foot to sand and refinish hardwood floors, or about $5,000 for a typical 1,000 sq ft first floor. The exact number depends on the floor's condition, whether you're adding stain, and whether stairs are part of the job. See the full cost breakdown →
Almost always, refinishing is cheaper. New hardwood installed runs $8–$15 per square foot versus $4–$6 to refinish. The exception is when the wood is too thin to sand again.
Most refinishing jobs take 2–4 days: one day for sanding and staining, then 1–2 days for finishing coats with proper dry time between each coat.
It depends on our current job schedule and the materials you choose. Some options have to be custom-ordered and can take several weeks to arrive. Your start date is set once the written quote is approved, and we keep you updated as the project gets closer.
Most of our clients stay home throughout the entire refinishing process. Our dust containment system is 99% dust free and our finish is a low-VOC water-based product that dries fast and doesn't fill the house with fumes.
You need to be available on day one for stain selection. That's the only time we require you to be on-site. After that, it really depends on what you can comfortably live with. Most of our clients stay home throughout the entire refinishing process.
Yes. We're fully licensed and insured for residential work in New Jersey, NJ HIC #13VH00341800, and our finish carries a 10-year warranty. If something is wrong because of how the job was done, we come back and fix it.
