Galebach's Floor Finishing is the oldest floor finishing company in Lancaster County. The company was founded in 1924 by John K. Galebach. At the time, John was a carpenter, who built stairways, installed flooring and finished it. One thing he did not enjoy was scraping floors by hand, which was how things were done back then. One day he saw an advertisement for the first electric floor sanding machine. He decided to order one. It arrived by train in Manheim where John picked it up and began putting it to use.
Services
At Galebach's Floor Finishing, we offer a variety of services to meet all of your floor finishing needs. We specialize in residential projects, both new and old. Whether it's a whole house or just one room, we can make your floors look fantastic. Before we begin any job, we offer a free consultation and estimate.
Once you have decided to have a wood floor refinished, you may wonder what the first step is. Usually people request us to come and see the floor and work up a quote for them. This is always the best way to start because not all wood floors are "sandable". If they have been sanded many times over the years, there does come a point where they are too thin to sand.
Hardwood floors are enjoying a renaissance, of sorts. More homeowners today are adding hardwood flooring, remodeling existing homes, and trading up to hardwood in new homes. Here are some of the many reasons why you should consider hardwood flooring. Hardwood floors are more affordable than ever and increase the value of your property when it's time to sell.
You made it through the refinishing process. Please wait a minimum of 48 hours before placing furniture back onto the floor. If you are putting a large area rug down, wait a week to allow the floor to cure properly. Now it's time to educate yourself (or your cleaning lady) on the proper care of your wood floors.

From start to finish, everyone at Galebach's was terrific! We contacted them super short notice to see if they would be available to refinish the floors on a new home we purchased. From the initial contact, the answer was always "yes!" They are very accommodating and strive to make sure their customers are satisfied and taken care of. Everyone is very timely and friendly, from Karen who handled the scheduling and billing, to all of the men who completed the work. Not to mention, the floors look amazing!
