hardwood

I've tried adhesive remover , goo gone, vinegar. steaming. Is there anything else I could use to get this up without having to sand. I'm not looking for perfection just improvement. 😊thanks for any and all help or suggestions.

Hey all - I recently had hardwood floors refinished. The flooring contractor agreed to three coats of poly. The floors looked beautiful at first; however, within a month of the work, I've noticed peeling in certain places, and even bare exposed wood. I'm seriously suspecting that the contractor...

Hi all, We are having a bunch of construction done at our house and one was to remove old tile and replace it with engineered hardwood. The contractor who installed it cemented it to the cement slab without any underlayment, which I was told would be fine - we are in Southern California, so...

Hi all, I’m looking for 500 sq feet of Genwood’s recently discontinued Stipulate Hickory-Joliet floor. I just bought a new home with the intentions to finish the hardwood floor on my own and found out last week that this floor has been discontinued!

I have a 20yr old contemporary home with the core rooms(den,dining foryer, hallway) having light oak hardwood floors(very similar to background on this page). The kitchen has ceramic tile and 4 bedrooms and office are carpet. I want to replace all carpeted areas with probably luxury vinyl...

Hey, all, I am new to the forum and will be doing my first hardwood flooring installation in 3 weeks. I am putting down 1500 sq ft of 1/2 in engineered hardwood floors nailed down across 2 different levels with the help of both my parents and in-laws who have both installed hardwood floors in...

I’ve recently purchased my first home and am having the hardwood floors sanded, stained a darker colour and sealed with solvent based poly. The contractor seems super competent and spent multiple days sanding. I then chose a stain and they went to work. Today I just popped in to have a look, and...

We had a water spill in our kitchen (water filter didn’t insert correctly and water dumped onto the floor). We did our own clean up. In retrospect we should have brought in some equipment, but we put fans on it and allowed it to air dry. At first, there was cupping. But that went away after...

Our hardwood floors were installed about three years go. They out a layer of cork down to help out with sound insulation. However, I'm pretty sure they nailed down the hardwood. My understanding is that likely negated the effect of the cork on sound prevention by as much as 50% However, what...

I have a galaxy omega 8 floor sander . . . all three of the pulleys on the machine are the wider ribbed type pulleys that take special serpentine type belts. Im wondering if i could replace the pulleys with those of the same size but to convert them over to take the v notch type belts that say...

Hi all, Just bought a new place and it has a nice jatoba wood floor, but the current owner is uncertain what the finish is. I have included pics from the inspection (therefore they all have scratches). If any of you can venture a guess as to what the finish would be on this, and what the best...

Hi, I have a very old home and am trying to get a hardwood floor down before our newest child is born (in the next couple weeks). The layers of the floor are many, here they are from the top-down: thin sheet vinyl floor 1/2" underlayment (not sure if particle board, but some sort of particle...

Our living room and hallways have hardwood floors installed probably in 1970s. Our two dogs, being alone on weekdays and roam at night, have ruined large spots of the floor. Their urine has eaten through the sealant/polyurethane. We now plan to sand the entire floor down, and refinish them. But...
