Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors may entail a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring.

For wooden floors, the approach of restoration commonly consists of sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining.

For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will frequently require replacing the carpet.
