Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can entail a wide range of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The kind of restoration work will vary among the kind of the current floor. In older homes with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will usually consist of repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be an attractive attribute of the property. In contemporary homes with carpet or wood flooring, restoration is more likely to involve entirely exchanging the existing floors, either like for like using a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the approach of renovation generally consists of sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile flooring can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles replaced, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further issues or damage will typically require replacing the carpet.
