3 Factors To Consider Before Restoring Or Replacing Your Hardwood Flooring

Condition

How much wear and tear is visible on your floor? Not all blemishes are easy to fix. If you ripped up the carpet and found hardwood underneath, you might also see damaged floorboards that need to be replaced. It could also be difficult to match the original flooring, so a repair may not be feasible.

Structural Issues

If your subfloor is damaged, it can be an expensive procedure to refinish your flooring. Restoration also can’t fix some kinds of damage, such as gaps in the wood slats. In some cases, it’s better to replace it with new flooring.

Number Of Previous Restoration Efforts

There are only so many times you can refinish a hardwood floor before you need to replace it. With repeated stains and sanding, your floor will start to show it. The contractors at JT’s Floor Refinishing can determine this if you’re not sure.

Whether you choose to restore or replace your hardwood flooring, there are many benefits to having it in your home. Not only is it more suitable for allergy sufferers, but it can add value to your property should you decide to sell. It also looks great when properly installed by a professional at JT’s Floor Refinishing.
