Maintenance and Repair

Maintenance is the key to preserving the beauty of your floor. Vacuuming or sweeping as needed, cleaning with recommended products and using felt pads on furniture feet all help to extend the life of your floor. In addition it is optimal for your flooring to keep your home's temperature between 68 and 78 degrees and the humidity between 30% to 50%.

We offer professional deep cleaning of your hardwood floor, using machines and solutions designed to be safe and effective for your flooring. As your floor begins to show wear, an additional coat of finish can be applied without having to resand your floors. This is usually a one day process that is virtually dust free. Adding a coat of finish restores sheen, hides surface scratches and delays the need for refinishing. We usually recommend recoating your floor every 3 to 5 years.

We can repair and replace damaged flooring and patch areas if necessary when you are remodeling. We will work with you to match your existing species, grade and style of flooring to ensure the most seamless look possible.

Custom Staining

When your floor is refinished you may wish to change the natural color of your flooring to enhance the wood grain, match your furniture, or just to provide a new more current look. You may choose from:

• A custom color mixed specifically for your floor
• Our own custom color collection, preselected for us by Northwest Interior Designers
• Special color enhancing techniques such as aniline dying and bleaching

Eco-friendly Products

Wood flooring is the most abundantly available renewable flooring material. Sustainable forest management makes it possible to harvest wood without any serious impact on the environment, because trees are a renewable resource that can be replaced time and time again. Wood is a carbon neutral product that produces oxygen during its growth cycle and stores carbon during its service life. Wood floors last hundreds of years, so it won't need to be replaced as often as other flooring products.

We install FSC certified wood, salvaged and reclaimed wood, bamboo and cork flooring. We have several options for environmentally friendly finish including low VOC, no VOC and hard wax oil finishes.
