SM Remodeling Hardwood Flooring of West Hollywood (213) 539-

Solid Hardwood has always been the standard in beauty and durability for home flooring. Upgrading to hardwood flooring virtually guarantees that your home’s value will increase exponentially. Combined with ease of maintenance and ever-lasting beauty, hardwood flooring has no rival. No matter if you are upgrading your current home or installing hardwood flooring in a new one, you will want to carefully consider what type of wood and the finish you want for your floors. 

Engineered Wood Floors are pre-finished, already sanded, stained and sealed, which can decrease the time required for installation. Unfinished solid hardwood must be sealed and there is a waiting time before its ready to use. (Note: solid hardwood is available pre-finished, as well.) 

Engineered flooring is available in many species, just like solid hardwood, to suit every type of décor.

 Here’s an example  of a few popular woods available as engineered hardwood product: 

Red and White Oak: Always looks great. 

Maple: An elegant finish, appropriate for dining rooms, living rooms, and family rooms. Hickory: Classic and a great looking option.

When your hardwood flooring starts to look weathered in a less than attractive fashion, you might consider reviving your flooring. Hardwood flooring refinishing processes are totally safe for the wood and can increase the longevity of the flooring. If scratches or dings are in the hardwood, sanding and refinishing can restore the previous beauty and quality of the flooring. Make sure your boards are thick enough to be refinished – at least 1/4″ or wood above the tongue & groove needs to be available.
