Whether you’re getting new hardwood floors installed or old ones refinished, there are 7 main mistakes I see people make in the process. If you make these mistakes with your wood floors it could cost you thousands of dollars. These hardwood mistakes are: 1. Choosing the wrong species of hardwood floors. 2. Getting non-refinish able wood floors installed. EX: thin wear layer engineered floors. 3. Filling all the gaps between the floor boards on an old floor refinish. 4. Rushing the installation process: EX: forcing boards together when a cleat head is poking up. 5. Installing new hardwoods over a bad sub-floor. EX: Not sanding down high spots. 6. Failing to get a maintenance coat (new layer of polyurethane added) done every 1-3 years. 7. Going cheap on hardwood floor finish. EX: Spending thousands to have your wood floors refinished only to use a cheap varnish at the end. Watch this video now to avoid these 7 catastrophic wood flooring mistakes!
