hardwood floor

I was wiping the floor today with a microfiber cloth to clean up water from the dog after being out in the rain. I noticed this at the end of one of my floor boards after I was finished. I'm nervous that I pulled up some of the finish (although I was wiping pretty lightly). After Googling, I...

I will buy white oak engineered hardwood (this one White Oak Hush | Mercier Wood flooring ) The hardwood manufacturer does not provide this stain The stairs are read oak and I was wondering if the paint store will be able to get me a finish that will match the hardwood.

Hello all! I’m going to install 3-1/4” hardwood oak floor (over OSB subfloor) and to minimise any squeaking I want to do full cover glueing with Bona 851R in addition to nailing. Perhaps I’m overdoing it, but I really want to minimise potential squeaking in the years to come. My question is: is...

I removed some old carpet and plan to install hardwood. The adjoining bathrooms have vinyl sheet flooring that seems to be installed underneath the drywall and doorjambs and protrudes into the next room. The carpet had been stapled on top of this. I want to keep the vinyl sheet in the bathroom...

Hi All, I've put down hardwood before, both glue and floating click lock, but I'm about to start on my first nail down experience. BTW, I hated gluing its a mess, I ended up looking like the stay puffed marshmallow man and I don't ever want to do it again. . . . I'm installing on grade...

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...
