I've installed many wood floors over the years, over three decades of expertise, in fact. I've guided countless homeowners through showroom overwhelm to find their perfect match—yet selecting flooring for my own renovation still required careful consideration of each option's unique character. Engineered products promised convenience, exotic species offered drama, but something kept drawing me back to a classic American hardwood with a special twist: quarter-sawn white oak in generous 6¼" planks. This wasn't just another flooring decision—it was an investment in beauty, stability, and timeless craftsmanship that would become the foundation of my home for decades to come.

One of the most common issues we assist our clients with is water damage to wood flooring.

\"About 35% of our projects have carpeting on top of the client's existing wood floors or staircase. Clients often ask, "do you remove the carpeting, or do we have to take care of that"? The answer is we can absolutely help you remove the carpeting! Some clients ask if they can do it themselves to save money, of course you can! We note that pulling the carpet is the easy part, the removal of the carpet pad (which is stapled to the wood floor) nails, tack strips and staples are the more time-consuming and tedious aspects. If you would like us to remove it, we would be happy to. We will bundle it up into 4' rolls, weighing no more than 50 lbs. Any larger, most cities (if they take it) will not haul it away, they are also harder to move/manage. If you would like us to perform this service, we are charging $1.50-$1.95 sq foot to remove it and around $295 for a staircase. Depending on who installed the staircase, it is not uncommon to find 50+ staples and nails per tread/riser. We can also haul if off site for an additional fee, usually anywhere from $100-$450, depending on how much there is. Some cities offer free haul away and others will charge you, so it is important to have this conversation first, as this could save you some money on the project!"

The best answer is NO. Don't Google this.. if you do the consensus (from people that do not deal with hardwood floors everyday) is that it is ok. It is not. Everyone wants to put blue tape on their floors especially when they are painting. I'll say that most of the time, you probably can get away with it...probably. But that 5-10% chance that the tape will pull the finish from the wood floors can be devastating. I'll explain in a second.

We all love our furry friends. They are part of the family. Depending on their size and energy level of your pet, they can negatively affect your wood floors. Most often, we hear that they are creating some scratching with their nails. Sometimes, they can have incontinence or vomiting issues as well. Both can do a lot of damage to your wood floors. So, let's get educated.
