My middle appointment of the day was a very sweet older couple. Absolutely lovely.
It seems they had some minor water damage on their hardwood, and they knew the water stain would not come out. And, they were right.
So they wanted to add laminate flooring on top of the hardwood. At least, that is what they originally told me. They had thought things through and at first were very definite with their opinion.
But, as I started to question them more and offer alternative solutions, they were willing to listen. They didn't realize that it would be possible to replace a small section of wood and weave it in. They also didn't realize that it would be significantly less expensive to refinish the hardwood floors (rather than add laminate on top).
I also explained the other benefits of the hardwood, including that it improves the value of their home - for now and for later when they sell - as well as how it will make their space look larger since it will be the same color and surface as what they have in the bedrooms.
So, hardwood flooring it is! And, hopefully, we will be repairing and refinishing their hardwood floors soon.
