What species of hardwood flooring are there? - 05/29/12 06:08 PM
There are many species of hardwood flooring, and I thought it would be helpful to visualize and explain the different types.  I'm going to focus on the 6 most popular species - oak, maple, hickory, bamboo, brazilian cherry and brazilian walnut.
 

Oak hardwood flooring - Oak is the most common type of hardwood in the US. It's generally less expensive (since it is the most common) and it's usually the type of hardwood that you find in most homes...so if you are looking to match what you already have, chances are, it is oak.  There are actually two species … (43 comments)

What is the difference between select grade and No 1 Oak hardwood? - 05/26/12 03:09 AM
Which is better... select grade or Number 1 oak flooring? Most customers don't realize that there are different grades of oak flooring. They just assume all oak flooring is the same.
 
For oak flooring, there are 3 main grades: select, Number 1 common and Number 2 common. Select grade is generally considered the highest grade as it has the least color variation. It costs more. This is followed by No 1 which has more color variation and some occasional knots, and that is followed by No 2 which has a lot more color variation and knots. Sometimes, this is … (37 comments)

Black and white hardwood floors - 05/23/12 04:12 AM
One of the coolest hardwoods I've seen is Shaw's Cosmopolitan Maple.  It's sleek and stylish and fabulous all over. 
 
It actually comes in black - pure black.  It's darker than ebony stained floors and actually looks like they are painted black.
 
Cosmopolitan Maple is also available in a pure white which also looks super stylish.  Unlike white washed oak (which is rather dated), this has a modern look and again looks like it is painted. 
 
It's really cool.
 
This hardwood is prefinished, so it's easy to install and has a tough outer layer so it will … (67 comments)

Is it better to paint or do the floors first? - 05/22/12 03:06 AM
Many of my customers are redoing their floors and painting, and the smart customers ask whether it's best to do the floors first or paint first.
 
Many are surprised by the answer...and they are glad they asked.
 
So, to preface this, it somewhat depends on what type of flooring you are doing (as well as demo), what condition your walls are in and who is doing the painting.
 
Assuming that you are getting the work done professionally, it is usually better to do most of the painting AFTER the flooring and most of the prep work BEFORE the … (24 comments)

I showed them several other more expensive carpets as well...one for the living room and one for the bedroom...but I didn't hear from them again...and figured I never would.

Which types of flooring are less expensive? Which costs more? - 05/14/12 03:54 AM
