Who gets listed
We include every hardwood floor refinishing company we can find that has a public Google or Bing business listing and says on its own website that it refinishes wood floors. Stores that only sell or install flooring are left out. Hardwood flooring companies whose websites don't confirm refinishing appear in a separate, labeled section.
Where the details come from
Services, service areas and facts like warranties come only from each company's own website, or from the owner when they claim their listing. If neither mentions something, we show "not listed". We never guess. Ratings and review counts come from Google and show the month we checked them.
How the list is ordered
By Google rating, weighted by how many reviews a company has. A 5.0 rating from 2 reviews tells you less than a 4.9 from 150, so we blend each rating with a typical rating of 4.5 as if every company had 10 extra average reviews. Companies with many reviews barely move; companies with only a few are pulled toward 4.5. Companies without a Google rating come after, in alphabetical order. The "Highest Google rating" badge goes to the top-rated company with at least 10 reviews.
Sponsored spots
Companies can pay for a spot at the top of a region or city page. Those spots are always labeled Sponsored. Sponsors still appear in their normal position in the main list, and paying never changes that order or the badges.
