Hardwood Flooring Installation
Installing a hardwood floor takes skill, experience, and the right tools to get the job done properly. There are many steps involved in applying the selected hardwood planks to the floor of your home and ensuring that your installation is done to the highest possible standard.
To begin with, the exact dimensions of each room are carefully noted, along with the level of humidity that the room is expected to see. Any existing flooring is removed with care, if necessary, in order to provide for a pristine surface to lay down the new wood. The planks are positioned carefully so that they each have room to expand and contract without interrupting the integrity of the floor, and the edges are carefully matched to ensure that patterns in the wood and any differences in height are minimized.
The planks are fastened to the floor surface perpendicular to the floor joists using either glue, nails or special fasteners depending upon the type of job being done.
Refinish Hardwood Floors
The floors in your home may have looked great when they were brand new, but over time constant traffic has most likely worn them in to the point where they have lost some of that initial luster. It can be discouraging to have to cover up a hardwood floor you were once proud of with a carpet in order to hide the effects of time and use. Fortunately, there is a solution that can restore your floors to their original lifelike shine without having to replace them entirely.
Our professional refinishing service can rejuvenate your hardwood floors, bringing out their natural beauty and reversing the aging process to the point where they are indistinguishable from a brand new installation. There’s no need to throw away the investment made in your existing flooring when refinishing can turn back the hands of time to such an effective degree.
Sanding and the re-application of varnish and other wood restoration products will have your floors looking amazing in no time. There are many different types of flooring out there, so it pays to make sure that a professional gives you there opinion on your specific situation before you make any refinishing decisions.
We work with environmentally friendly oils which doesn't contain volatile organic components (= VOC free). This products protects and colour wood in a single coat and are really easy to maintain with superior wear and liquid resistance.
Repair Hardwood Floor
It’s unfortunately all too easy for a wood floor to become damaged to the point where it is no longer safe to walk on, or is unattractive to look at. Whether it is as a result of moisture or water being trapped underneath carpets or appliances, or sudden damage caused by a malfunctioning heating system, or even just too many years of too many feet taking their toll, there comes a time where repair is the only real option.
Our professional repair service can confidently evaluate the extent of the damage to your hardwood flooring and provide you with an estimate of exactly what needs to be done in order to set things right again. While some types of floor damage might look as though replacement is the only option, many times only a small portion of the floor must be completely swapped out, with refinishing taking care of the rest.
We have the equipment and expertise required to determine the thickness of your floors, the strength of the wood and the amount of labor required to get them back to their original condition. We can even ensure that any new repairs made to your floor will almost perfectly match the existing wood so that no one other than yourself will ever know that a change had been made.
Hardwood Stairs
Floors aren’t the only part of your home that can benefit from a touch of hardwood. Stairs are sometimes neglected when it comes to floor design. There’s no need to cover yours with carpet when there is a world of different hardwood possibilities waiting for you that can be used to help you match your stairs to your floors.
There are a few different styles of hardwood stairs that can help you integrate your steps into your home’s overall décor. We can install hardwood steps going up the entire staircase which are stained to match your floors, and paint the risers the same color as your walls. Or, we could also give you an entirely hardwood solution – steps, riser and banister – that will give your stairs an elegant look that is far more attractive than carpeting.
The molding surrounding your stairs is also worthy of attention. While some choose to paint them, along with the banister, in order to make them look flush with the wall, adding hardwood accents, veneers or railings can really help set your stairs off from the rest of your décor. Hardwood stairs are as strong as any of the wood that we use on a standard floor and are guaranteed to give you many years of shine and finish.
