Hardwood Flooring Services
Hardwood floors are one of the most elegant and versatile flooring options available. They’re easy to maintain, withstand wear and tear and can even be sanded and refinished several times over their lifetime. The right hardwood floor can add value to your home and make it a place that you love to be.
Choosing the best hardwood for your needs can be tricky, as there are so many different types of woods and finishes to choose from. If you’re not sure which is the best for you, you should consult a professional to help you figure it out.
Common Problems with Hardwood
One of the most common problems homeowners face is water damage to their hardwood floors. This can be caused by a leaky sink, burst pipe or other source of moisture in your home. It’s easy enough to deal with if the water only affects the surface of your floors, but if it penetrates to the subfloor, you’ll need to call in a professional to replace the damaged boards and install new flooring.
Moisture can also cause a stain to develop on your wood floors, especially in high-traffic areas. This is especially true if you have children or pets in your home. If you spot the stain, you should sand down the affected area and refinish it with a wood stain that matches your existing floors.
Refinishing a hardwood floor is less expensive than replacing it with new hardwood. It’s also a great way to give your floors a fresh look and update them to match your current interior design theme.

Mould on hardwood floors is a common problem, but it’s relatively easy to remove. If you just have a small patch of mould, try soaking it with diluted vinegar and wiping it down with a clean towel or rag. If it’s getting worse, you might need to sand down the entire section and refinish it.
Protective pads are an inexpensive option for protecting your hardwood floors against scratches and scuffs. They should be placed on the bottom of all chair legs to prevent them from slipping and causing damage to your floors. They can be made of felt or rubber, so they won’t leave scuff marks on your beautiful wood floors.
Another option for refinishing your hardwood floors is to visit a salvage yard, which usually sells used hardwood flooring that has some signs of age and wear. You can often find this type of flooring for half the price of new floors.
It’s important to note that most salvage yards will only accept reclaimed materials, so you have to ask before you purchase it. You’ll also want to ask if the wood was treated with chemicals or sanded before it was installed.
