Hardwood Flooring
Hardwood Floor Installation
Hardwood floors are a classic, timeless choice for flooring, known for their natural beauty, durability, and value. Wood floors can be re-sanded and refinished multiple times, extending the lifespan and longevity of the floors. Engineered hardwood floors are also an option, as they are known for being more dimensionally stable. This allows for more stability in areas that may be more humid.
Installation of hardwood floors involves nailing planks of wood to the wooden subfloor using nails or staples. Engineered hardwood can be glued onto the subfloor, or installed as floating floors, using interlocking planks that don’t directly connect to the subfloor. It is essential you hire reputable flooring contractors to install your hardwood floors to avoid issues down the line.

will last for years to come.

How To Care for Your Wood Floors
Hardwood floors require regular maintenance in order to retain a polished look, and to ensure the maximum longevity and life out of your floors. Use area rugs or felt furniture pads to minimize scratches. Wipe up any spills promptly to reduce the risk of water damage. In terms of cleaning your hardwood floors, regular sweeping or vacuuming is recommended to remove dirt and dust. You’ll want to use a vacuum with a hardwood floor attachment, as beater bars on vacuums can damage the surface of your hardwood. Use a damp, well-wrung out mop to gently clean the floors. You want to avoid excessive water to prevent it from seeping into the seams. Avoid cleaning products that contain ammonia, wax, or silicone. Use cotton or microfiber cloths to clean your hardwoods with, and avoid scrubbing pads or other abrasive cleaning tools. Additionally, it is recommended to avoid high heels and other heavy shoes that can cause dents and scratches, and keep your pets paws clean and nails clipped.
Refinishing your floors periodically also helps maintain their appearance. This is especially important in high-traffic areas. Sanding and refinishing hardwood floors is essential to ensure the longevity of your hardwood floors.
Cost of Hardwood Flooring
Hardwood floors are known to be one of the more costly flooring options as it is both a natural and high quality material. The cost of hardwood floors depends on a variety of factors including the type or species of wood, thickness, and the grade. It costs on average $6-$18 to install one square foot of hardwood flooring. A 200-square foot room might cost between $1000 and $3500, where a 2000 square foot house can cost $12,000 to $36,000. Again, these numbers are all relative and depend on different factors. We are willing to work with each and every one of our customers to determine the best option for your budget and make your dreams come to life.
