Basically it means floor re-finisher. Someone who refinishes mostly hardwood floors.
That fact that you are from New York City tells me your floors have been damaged by the storm that hit New York. Thankfully you are okay.
Any licensed contractor can put down a new floor for you. When it comes to a hardwood floors it takes a trained person using special equipment to fix or refinish damaged floors.
Given the fact that your floor is water damaged you need to make sure this contractor is on this list of approved contractors who can asses,repair and refinish you floor if we are talking about a hardwood floor.
If we are talking about any other type of floor it may be necessary to replace the flooring all the way to the sub-floor to insure that no mildew occurs. This may be needed even in a hardwood floor and refinishing alone may not fix your floor. You may need to replace it.
This is why it is so important to find the right contractor. After disasters like this even us New Yorkers, I spent the first 25 years of my life in New York, can be taken advantage of. So be diligent in who you contract with. ]
