  • How do wood floors increase my home's value?

    Wood floors can add significant value to a home, potentially raising its sales price. The National Wood Floor Association surveyed real estate agents in the U.S. and revealed that 99% believe homes with hardwood floors are easier to sell, 82% believe they sell faster, and 90% believe they sell for more money - up to 10% more. If you're looking for a wood flooring installation to potentially improve your home's value, contact Prestige Flooring & Interiors, Inc today!

  • How does the cost of wood floors compare to other flooring surfaces?

    Initially, a wood flooring installation may seem costly, but it is actually one of the most cost-effective flooring options available. According to our experts, when properly installed and maintained, wood floors can last for hundreds of years. Other flooring options will likely have a service life of 10-20 years, which means they will need to be replaced five to 10 times as often as wood floors. Most wood floors can be sanded and refinished several times during their life to restore beauty and luster. In addition, wood floors can adapt to many décor and style changes over the years while other flooring options can look dated and require replacement based on new decorating trends.

  • What are the benefits of wood floors?

    There are many benefits to wood floors. This flooring type offers great long-term value, is easy to maintain, and adds value to the home or business. Routine maintenance requires nothing more than a broom or dust mop. For a quality wood flooring installation, don't hesitate to contact Prestige Flooring & Interiors, Inc today.

  • Are engineered wood floors real wood floors?

    Yes, they are manufactured using multiple layers of wood or wood composite veneers. Other laminated flooring products may look like wood, but not be made of wood at all. With engineered wood flooring, the only non-wood components used to make them are the adhesives used to bind the veneers together, and the finish that is applied to the top veneer to protect the wood.

  • Can engineered hardwood flooring be refinished?

    Yes, engineered hardwood flooring can be refinished. A quality engineered floor will last as long and perform as well as a solid wood floor. The thicker the veneer, the more times you can refinish engineered hardwood floors. According to our flooring experts, as a rule of thumb, count on one to three refinishes during its lifetime. Prestige Flooring & Interiors, Inc offers wood flooring installation for engineered and natural wood floors. Contact us for an estimate today.

  • How should I maintain my wood floors?

    Routine maintenance after a wood flooring installation is easier than you may think. Simply sweep, dust mop, or vacuum with the beater bar turned off to remove dirt and grit from between the floorboards. Wet mops and steam mops should be avoided because excessive water and steam can dull the finish or even damage the wood. When spills occur, clean immediately with a dry or slightly damp cloth. If the floor begins to look a little dull, using a wood flooring cleaner recommended by the installer or floor manufacturer will help renew luster.

  • Will I be able to change the look of my wood floors?

    One of the advantages of wood floors is that they can be refinished. A wood flooring professional will clean the floors to remove all contaminants, then lightly abrade the floor and apply a new coat of finish. If scratches are deep in the wood, or if there are large dents or damaged boards, trained refinishers will be able to repair the damage without affecting the rest of the floor. The number of times a floor can be refinished will depend on the floor itself, the degree of repair needed, and the skill of the refinished.

  • What happens if my floor gets scratched?

    All flooring shows some wear over time, but wood can be repaired to look new again. Most scratches in wood flooring will occur in the finish, not the wood itself. These can be repaired with a maintenance coat in which the finish is lightly abraded and then a new coat of finish is applied. For deeper scratches in the wood, the flooring can be sanded and refinished. If you do need a new wood flooring installation, contact Prestige Flooring & Interiors, Inc today to schedule one.

  • Why does my hardwood floor make noise?

    As a wood floor naturally expands and contracts with changing humidity and temperature levels, you may hear small cracking or squeaking noises. This is completely normal.

  • What type of hardwood is best for my home?

    Several factors such as what sort of subfloor you may have and how much foot traffic your new flooring will experience will play a key role in your flooring choice. Different species of wood (oak, hickory, maple, etc.) have different design and performance characteristics, and choosing the right flooring for your home can mean all the difference in the lifespan of your hardwood. Our staff have decades of experience to assist you in choosing the correct wood flooring installation for your home. Contact us today to request an estimate.
