1. Hardwood & Laminate

Hardwood brings a natural warmth and beauty to a room. It creates a strong, reassuring presence and reminds us of our connection to all the natural wonders outside our front door. Who doesn’t love a floor designed by nature? Hardwood floors come in a wide variety of wood species, from dramatic exotics to traditional hardwoods, so it’s easy to find one to complement your décor or design style. For enduring natural beauty in your home, hardwood is the obvious flooring choice.
Laminate has come a long way from the “plastic” – looking floors of the past, with their cheap, faux-wood designs and their second-class status. Today’s laminate floors use sophisticated technology to capture the look of real woods and stones, as well as unique and unexpected materials like metal, concrete, and weathered wood. Along with stylish designs, laminate floors offer high durability and versatility, which means you can install laminate anywhere in your home. For bold, innovative visuals and unbeatable durability, laminate is the obvious flooring choice.

4. Leveling and Squeaking Removal

Many old floors squeak and/or sag. Changes in humidity cause various floors to shrink, or swell at different rates. Some people believe that squeaking or sagging are proof of the home’s age and charm, it typically signals that something structurally significant is amiss. Potential causes may be that the dimension of lumber was undersized, the joist where spaced to far apart, the wood was not sufficiently seasoned, the house settled unevenly, the flooring was laid with insufficient nails, or the house is just suffering from old age. In some instances major reconstruction may be necessary. In other cases, squeaks, and sags may be relatively easy to eliminate. Squeaks signify that there is slack in the flooring structure. As a result, there is an audible sound, whenever adjacent members (Flooring, sub flooring, joist, beam) rub against one another. This occurs each time the floor is loaded, and then when the load is removed. The squeak may result from the loose board rubbing against a nail or another floorboard from the finished flooring that has warped or pulled loose from the joists.

Refinishing vs. Replacing

Refinishing floors is a great idea. If your hardwood floors are in decent structural condition, refinishing them can get them back to looking great. A skilled contractor can salvage and refinish nearly any old floor. Scratches can be sanded away and holes, dents or chips can be patched. The first step is to sand away the old finish using a power sander. These can be very difficult to use and have the potential to damage your floor, so unless you are experienced, it’s often a good idea to hire a professional. Once the old finish is removed, you can repair any dents or cracks with wood filler and then sand them down to be even with the floor. Finally, you can seal the floor and stain it, and your hardwoods will look like new again.

The fumes are not dangerous as long as you keep the area well-ventilated. You can stay in your home while the floors are being refinished. However, we would not recommend sleeping overnight in a room with freshly finished hardwood floors. The stain will stop giving off vapors soon after it has dried, and should be almost entirely odor-free within a day or two. In the meantime, keep the area well-ventilated to move the fumes out of your home and you’ll have nothing to worry about.
