We’re in State College and the surrounding Centre County towns regularly. One thing worth knowing: if you searched for “Quality Hardwoods” and found a State College business by that name, that’s a different company. We’re the family crew run by Ken and Larry Varnes, and the number is 717-320-6393.

Refinish or just recoat?
If the finish is worn through, the boards have gone gray, or you want a new color, the floor needs a full sand-and-refinish. If it’s dull and scuffed but still sealed, a deep clean and recoat will do it in a day or two for a fraction of the cost. It’s usually obvious from a photo. Text one to Ken and he’ll tell you which, and if the honest answer is “neither, yet,” he’ll say that too.
How we work
Dust extraction on every sander. Rooms sealed off. Water-based, low-VOC finishes: CeramicStar standard, or WearMax Armor if you want a harder floor. Before we start, we put stain samples on your actual floor so you choose the color in your own light. Full details on the refinishing page.
Our work is guaranteed. If something is our fault, we fix it, no questions. Full refinishes and site-finished installs done with WearMax Armor also carry our 10-year wear-through warranty on the finish. Here's exactly what's covered.

We are very pleased with the flooring job that was done in our house. The floor was sanded stained and finished with very little dust and the finished product is beautiful.

Ken and his team were phenomenal to work with. We recently bought an 1890s home which needed some revitalization. They refinished the original old growth pine upstairs, refinished the stairs, and installed new hardwood downstairs. The first floor was very uneven, and they managed to make it level. Everyone we talked to was polite and knowledgeable. Ken kept us apprised of delays and options. They didn't cut corners, and finished the job completely. Already recommended them to our friends. The best.

Great work, we removed carpet to find a pretty bad flooring mishap. Hardwood floors under carpet, with mis matched sub flooring. The team, removed old flooring, replaced some subflooring, laced in new hardwood, sanded, stained and finished. They cleaned the home and left the way they found it. Great pricing, response time, and professional group. Floor looks like it was always there. Photos tell the story.

Excellent experience from start to finish! I had the pine floors refinished in my small log cabin, and they turned out beautiful. Great workmanship, excellent communication, and very professional service. Highly recommended!

I had this company redo my whole house, about 2100 square feet of wood. From the first estimate through the measuring to ordering the product exactly as we wanted it to fnishing up by sweeping and mopping the floor, they were just superb. The workers were extremely detail oriented, matching exisiting floorings and transitions. Every cut was precise, including around corners, heater vents, and inlaid door closure plates. They redid any small item that did not meet their specifications. They worked around a problem created with using new glue to make sure the floor was perfect. The workers were reliable, showing up on time as scheduled. Although small hurdles crop up as in any job, the entire floor was finished to the highest standards of quality and the best professionalism. If I could give them ten stars, I would. I highly highly recommend this company,

Amazing experience from start to finish. Ken was super responsive. Answered his phone. Gave us an estimate right away. The actual amount was more affordable than we expected and his crew did an outstanding job. Respectful of our house. Communicated effectively. I would absolutely hire them again

I am very happy with my experience with Quality Hardwood refinishing my hardwood floors. They did beautiful work. Ken and all his workers were conscientious and professional in the work they did. They did their work in a very timely fashion and worked carefully with me to get the look that met my expectations.
Not sure what your floors need?
Call or text Ken at 717-320-6393. He'll ask about the rooms, how you use them, and what you're hoping for, and tell you honestly whether you need a refinish, a recoat, or nothing yet. Photos help. Nobody comes out until it makes sense to.
Prefer to write it down? Use the quote form and Ken will call you back.
