Where we work
in Essex County.
HQ Hardwood Floors refinishes, recoats, restores, and installs hardwood floors for homeowners across Essex County from its base in Roselle Park, one county south. Since 2013 the team has worked the same way in every town: an in-home assessment first, then the least aggressive treatment that produces a sound result.

WHAT WE SEE
What Essex County
homes tend to ask for.
Much of the work in these towns involves original floors in older houses — strip oak, parquet, borders, and stair treads that owners would rather keep than replace. The first question is rarely “what color”; it is whether the floor needs sanding at all, or whether cleaning or a recoat will carry it further. HQ’s historic restoration and screen and recoat services exist for exactly that decision.
When sanding is the right call, HQ uses dust-contained refinishing with color samples applied on the actual floor before any finish goes down. Prefinished floors from more recent renovations are evaluated for recoating rather than replacement whenever the finish qualifies.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Asked before
the assessment.
Do you handle the older parquet and border floors common in these towns?
Yes. Original and antique floors are evaluated for preservation first — board condition, repairs, matching options, and the least aggressive process that works. Replacement is the last option, not the first.
How does an assessment work for a Essex County home?
You share your ZIP code, the condition of the floor, and photos of the worst areas. HQ uses the in-home visit to determine where the wear lives, whether any wood is exposed, what finish is present, and whether repairs are needed — before any scope or schedule is proposed.
