Hardwood floors are a substantial asset to a home, so it’s important to understand how to deal with them over time. After enough years have passed, you may begin to notice the damage they’ve sustained, whether it’s dulled sheen, scratches, or other distortions. Once damage has occurred, according to CarpetMasters, you have two main courses of action to decide between. One choice is to repair the wood and the other is to replace it with new flooring. 

Total replacement tends to be more expensive than a simple repair—in addition to the cost of labor, you’ll also need to pay for new wood. Another consideration is the nature of the change you are hoping for. If you are aiming to restore the wood to its original glory, a repair and refinishing is the most fitting option. On the other hand, if you are interested in a larger stylistic change, it might be a good time to invest in new flooring. With wood floors, serious damage is often impervious to even the highest quality refinishing. If you’ve noticed deep dents, warped wood, and intense scratching, the smart move is to opt for replacement. 

As you consider your options for what to do with your flooring, it’s a good idea to consult the experts at CarpetMasters. To begin a conversation about your floors, call (636) 532-1311. You can learn more about the company by visiting their website.
