Questions
Should I stay home during my flooring project?
While not required, we recommend avoiding the work area during installation due to noise. For refinishing, stay away from the area to avoid fumes from finishes.
How much dust is generated during floor sanding?
Our dust containment systems capture ~95% of particles, but some minimal dust may escape. We use outdoor equipment when possible to further reduce indoor dust.
Do I need to remove kitchen appliances before refinishing?
Yes, refrigerators and ovens should be removed. We can assist for a fee, but you must empty appliances and reconnect utilities post-project.
What happens to old flooring materials?
We recycle old materials at local centers. In some cases, we may recommend overlaying existing floors if cost-effective and structurally viable.
Will baseboards or doors need adjustments after new flooring?
Solid hardwood installation may require baseboard adjustments or door undercutting. Notify us in advance for these services, which incur a small fee.
