After
a few decades, all the wear and tear your household has offered up will finally
start to be seen. These might appear as scuffs, scratches, water rings, or any
one of a variety of other blemishes. The good news is, refinishing is all it
takes to bring your floors back to the glory of a showroom perfect finish. Even
better, if trends have changed and you’d like a slightly different look, you
can always change your stain color or finish type to stay on top of things.
It’s
important to know that solid hardwood flooring can never be installed in below
grade areas. Since it reacts to moisture, humidity and temperature changes,
these areas can cause them to buckle, warp, or even crack. If you have spaces
like this in your home, and you still want the real wood experience, be sure to
ask about engineered flooring.
