Re: Any experience with refinishing hardwood floors?
use a quality chemical stripper (circa 1820 is a good one) to remove any varnish/stain/glue residue, then give the floor a good sanding (either rent a machine or just use a block and a lot of elbow grease, depending on how badly they need sanding). after that it's easy. i'd probably use an acrylic polyurethane as finish, as they're easy to fix if you screw up, and they tend to wear well. you can use a penetrating stain underneath if you want to change the color. that's easy too.
