Most Dix Hills homes benefit from semi-gloss or satin finishes that balance durability with appearance. These finishes resist daily wear while maintaining the natural beauty of your wood floors.For high-traffic areas like entryways and kitchens, we often recommend water-based polyurethane finishes. They dry quickly, have low odor, and provide excellent protection against moisture – important for Long Island’s humid climate.Oil-based finishes work beautifully in formal areas where you want rich, deep color. They take longer to cure but create that classic, elegant look many homeowners prefer. We’ll recommend the best option based on your lifestyle, traffic patterns, and aesthetic preferences.
