Budget

When considering the cost of a flooring project, it's important for us to take into account several factors that can influence the final price. One such factor is the condition and species of the floor, as this can impact the amount of work needed to prepare it for finishing. For example, a floor that only needs to be sanded with a standard grit may cost less than one that requires significant repairs and a more aggressive sanding due to significant ware, staining, deep scrates etc.

Another important consideration is your personal preferences for the finish. Do you prefer a stained or natural look? Each option can affect the final cost, with stained floors generally costing more due to the added materials and labor required. Additionally, the type of finish you choose can impact the cost, with water-based polyurethane being a more eco-friendly but typically more expensive option than oil-based finishes.

Finally, it's important to take into account the square footage of the area you're looking to cover. Larger areas may require more materials and labor, increasing the overall cost. However, we offer discounts for larger projects. It's important to note that small projects require a minimum payment to cover the cost of labor. So it's always worth getting a quote for the full scope of work you're looking to have done.

By taking all of these factors into account, you can get a better idea of what the cost per square foot might be for your particular project, and make an informed decision about the type of flooring that will best suit your needs and budget

New Floors Vs. Refinishing

Refinishing your floors is generally less expensive than installing new ones. If you're looking to update the look of your home's interior, you might be wondering whether to refinish your existing floors or install new ones. Refinishing your floors can be a great option for many homeowners, offering a range of benefits over installing new flooring. Refinishing your floors is generally less expensive than installing new ones. This is because you don't have to pay for the cost of new materials or installation labor. Instead, you can have your existing floors sanded and refinished to restore their natural beauty.

Over time, hardwood floors can become dull, scratched, or discolored. Refinishing can remove surface damage and restore the shine and color of your floors, bringing back their natural beauty. You may also customize your floors to fit your design preferences. You can choose from a variety of stains and finishes to match your home's decor or give your floors a whole new look. Refinishing your floors is a great choice for homeowners looking to update their home's interior without the cost and hassle of installing new flooring.

Waterbased Natural

Oilbased Natural

Oilbased Polyurethane Vs. Waterbased Polyurethane

Oil-based polyurethane and water-based polyurethane are the two popular choices for finishing wood floors. Here are the main differences between the two:

Cost: Oil-based polyurethane, although superior, is less exspensive than water-based polyurethane in labor and product.

Appearance: Oil-based polyurethane tends to add a warm amber hue to wood, while water-based polyurethane dries clear, which may be preferable if you want to maintain the natural color of the wood.

Drying time: Water-based polyurethane dries much faster than oil-based polyurethane, often within a few hours, while oil-based polyurethane can take several days to dry completely. Oil-based polyurethane has a strong odor, while water-based polyurethane is low in odor. Both types of polyurethane are durable and can provide a protective layer on wood surfaces. However, oil-based polyurethane tends to be more durable and resistant to scratches and wear over time.

Ultimately, the choice between oil-based polyurethane and water-based polyurethane comes down to personal needs and preferences. Although oil-based is more durable and resistant to scratches, water-based is low in odor, dries quickly, and maintains the natural color of the wood. We use both products. However, we always reccomend oilbased polyurethane.

What is a natural finish?

A natural finish refers to a clear finish that does not alter the color of the wood. It allows the natural color, grain, and character of the wood to shine through, providing a classic and timeless look. A natural finish is often achieved by applying a clear topcoat, such as polyurethane, which protects the wood from wear and tear.

On the other hand, a stain is a colorant that is applied to hardwood floors to alter their natural color. Stains are available in a variety of shades and intensities, ranging from light to dark. They can be used to enhance the natural character of the wood or to achieve a specific color or look. A stain is applied before the clear topcoat to achieve the desired color and tone.

Ultimately, the choice between a natural finish and a stain for hardwood floors depends on personal preference and the style of the space. A natural finish is a classic and timeless choice that allows the beauty of the wood to shine through. A stain, on the other hand, can add depth and character to the floor, allowing homeowners to achieve a specific look or style.

Maintenance

To help homeowners keep their wood floors in top condition, we have put together a helpful guide with essential tips for maintaining wood floors. Regular sweeping or vacuuming with a soft-bristled broom or vacuum with a bare floor setting is essential to remove dirt, dust, and debris that can scratch the surface of wood floors.

Another critical aspect of wood floor maintenance is avoiding excess moisture. Water can cause significant damage to wood floors, so it's essential to keep them dry. Wiping up spills immediately and avoiding the use of wet mops or steam cleaners can help prevent damage.

Choosing the right cleaning products is also crucial to maintaining wood floors. It's essential to choose products specifically designed for use on wood floors and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can scratch or damage the surface. Using protective felt pads under furniture legs can also help prevent scratches and dents on wood floors.

Over time, wood floors may become scratched or dull, and if this happens, refinishing them can help restore their original beauty. Keeping the room temperature and humidity level consistent is also important, as wood floors can expand and contract in response to changes in temperature and humidity.
