Your hardwood flooring, your way
Wood floors are an outstanding choice for your home, especially if you never want to shop for flooring again. The materials should last well over 100 years when you choose solid wood, especially with professional installation and regular maintenance. Engineered floors provide up to 30 years or more under the same circumstances and look just as good, offering the perfect alternative for below-grade installations.
For stunning visual appeal, it's easy to customize hardwood flooring with your chosen species, color, texture, and format. The perfect installation layout, such as herringbone or chevron, can also change how your floors look and sometimes how they perform. We will work with you to create the authentic look you want and need for every room in your home.
One of the things that keeps wood floors looking new is the refinishing service. After a few decades of wear, your floors will begin to show signs of constant traffic, such as scuffs and scratches. Refinishing these surfaces removes all of that and allows you to refinish with new stains and finishes if you prefer, so be sure to stop by and find out more about how these floors could change your home today.
What Causes Hardwood Water Damage?
Water damage to hardwood flooring results from moisture penetrating beyond the seal, or coming in contact with an unsealed part, of the wood (called raw wood) between or beneath the plank flooring. Hardwood floor water damage occurs when the wood is wet enough for long enough to cause common types of water damage: Staining, cupping, crowning, buckling, or separation from the planks around it.
Wet wood flooring should be allowed to dry or be dried via mechanical means like a fans, dehumidifiers or space heaters. Once the flooring is dry, you can assess whether the flooring can be repaired or replaced. Stained hardwood can often be repaired. Once water damaged hardwood flooring is warped or split, then replacing the water damaged flooring planks becomes the most likely option.
