Everything You Need to Know About Hardwood Floors

We've spent 75 years working on hardwood floors across Monmouth County, Ocean County, and Middlesex County, New Jersey — installing them, sanding them back to life, and helping homeowners understand what they have and how to take care of it. This resource section covers the questions we hear most often: what species to choose, whether to buy solid or engineered, how to prepare for a project, when to refinish, and how to maintain floors between professional visits. If you're planning a project, starting your research, or trying to solve a specific problem, the guides below are written the way we'd explain it standing in your living room — straight, practical, and without trying to sell you something you don't need.

Meet the Family

Three Generations, One Family Business

Gorsegner Brothers started in 1951 when John Gorsegner Sr. began installing and finishing hardwood floors in Red Bank, NJ. His sons carried it forward for decades, and today Dan Gorsegner — raised in the business — runs the company his grandfather started, still serving the same NJ communities.

The guides on this page come from that same hands-on experience — 75 years of answering the questions homeowners actually ask.

Most Asked Question

How Much Does Refinishing Actually Cost?

It's the question we hear most, and the honest answer is "it depends" — but not in a way that dodges the number. Our full cost guide breaks down the real range, what moves your price up or down, and why two quotes on the same floor can land $2,000 apart.
