Flooring Replacement in Colorado Springs and Leadville, CO
Regular use of your hardwood floors can leave them scratched and dull.
Older floors typically have problems with fading and
discoloration. Water, and if you have pets, urine can also potentially
damage your floors. Because of these issues, you may be reconsidering
having your hardwood floor refinished or replaced.
Should you have that 50-year-old flooring ripped out and replaced with
new ones? Or can it still be refinished to look good as new?
Salvaging The Floor
Almost every old floor can be salvaged and refinished by skilled
contractors. Some signs that you need the floor refinished include
termite-damaged planks, delaminated strips, and boards crawling with
insects. The flooring can still be replaced if there are only a few
boards with these problems.
Squeaky floors can be muted with dry lubricant or nails, and holes can
be plugged. Floor sections that are too damaged can be patched up. Our
professional restoration specialists at
KW Restoration can look for patches that match the
grain, color, species, and cut of the wood. Afterwards, we can
seamlessly add the patch into the floor. It won’t look like a
replacement at all; your floor will just look clean and complete.
Pet Stains and Water Marks
When your pet makes scratch marks on your floors, or water spills onto
the wood, these can be covered with a rug. Your contractor may sand
down the floor and then walk you through it. Afterwards, they will
apply a suitable finish to the stained areas until the customer is
contented.
Aesthetics
If you want the floors to be restored to their former glory, then
refinishing is the way to go. But if you want the style of the wood or the
direction of the planks to change, consider investing in a complete flooring
replacement. So if you’re bored with how your wooden floors look,
refinishing them isn’t going to help. Refinishing is done to restore
existing wood and replacement is for a completely different look or feel.
Floors Beyond Repair
Of course, as time goes on, your floor will eventually have to be replaced.
Here are some signs that your floor is ready for retirement:
-
Serious structural problems. If your flooring needs to be
removed to fix the subfloor, it’s time to get a full floor
replacement.
-
Extreme movement. If your floors have extreme movement
between each board, it isn’t a good idea to refinish it. The movement
will just affect the sanding and the finish. It’s a much safer option
to work with a completely new floor.
-
Too much sanding. If your floors have been sanded too many
times, then the wood may not be as thick or “meaty” as it used
to be. It’s usually time to replace the wood if the tongue and groove
is falling apart, and the nails are already exposed.
