dark hardwood floors westchester New YorkAs July has just finished, I thought it would be helpful to review my top posts for the month of July 2012.

 

My new lap top sticker...I already got a lead from it

This is ironic as lap top is now ruined by my car.  So, alas I will need to get a new sticker...and this time, it's going to be it better.  I can make it prettier and more impactful to really communicate flooring (with a nice picture of hardwood and maybe carpet and/or tile).  Plus, the white background was not practical and was already getting dirty.  So live and learn.

 

2 years in the Rain...750,000 points and I'm DRENCHED

I can't believe it's 2 years.  It flew by really quickly.  And now, Active Rain is such an important part of my life and business.  I can't imagine life without it.

 

Reglazing Tile in Westchester NY - Refinish and Resurface Ceramic

This is a less expensive option to fix up dated tile.  It's perfect for those looking to stage/sell a home and those with a limited budget.

 

What types of hardwood floors are best for dogs?

I get this question all the time and this seems to be a popular topic.  It's already been reblogged 13 times.

 

Hardwood floor refinishing - Is it a good Do-it-yourself job?

I've had some customers who have made this mistake, and it sounds like many of you have seen others make this same mistake.  I would highly advise against trying this...out of all the flooring jobs, it is the one that will save you the least and is the most likely to get a very poor result.  In the end, it will often cost you money, not save it.

You really have been creating awesome content. I have learned a lot about flooring as well. I really appreciated the one about dogs...pets can really do a number on hardwood floors, but that doesn't have to be the case with your knowledge!

Great list of successful posts with great descriptions too.

I was just thinking about your new laptop sticker...

maybe you need to get one with a safety cone, a bumper, and a impact resistant foam padding.  (Just kidding)
