Our Hardwood Services
We offer hardwood flooring services for commercial and residential buildings that include floor refinishing, installation, and repairing. Choosing hardwood flooring is an investment in your home, adding to its value. When it comes to floors, there are some things to keep in mind. The main choices are solid hardwood, engineered hardwood, and laminate flooring.
Solid Hardwood :
- Solid hardwood is 3/4″ thick; it can be sanded down and refinished throughout its lifetime in your home.
- Finally, real wood flooring is also easier to repair.
Engineered Hardwood:
- Engineered floor is a core of hardwood or plywood with a hardwood veneer layer affixed to the top surface.
- This type of flooring can be sanded or refinished, but only 4 – 5 times. Because it fits together using tongue and groove instead of using an adhesive or nails, we call it “floating.” This method makes it easier to install over concrete. It’s also better in basements where humidity might be an issue.
Laminate Flooring :
- Laminate flooring is a thin pressed wood board with an image of wood on top covered by a transparent “wear layer” to protect the print. The delicate veneer skin on top is real wood.
- In conclusion, laminated floors cannot be sanded, restained, or refurbished. In cases involving any water damage (or other issues), the flooring must be removed entirely and replaced.
