Frequently asked in Fargo
What's the most common mistake people make before refinishing their floors?

Addressing issues early, or scheduling regular refinishing, preserves the wood's integrity and beauty. It's better to act sooner rather than later.

What is the best flooring for the money?
For a balance of cost and durability in Fargo, laminate flooring or luxury vinyl plank (LVP) often provide excellent value. Refinishing existing hardwood floors can also be very cost-effective if the wood is in good condition, offering a high return on investment. The 'best' choice depends on the room's use and your aesthetic preferences. We can help you decide.
What is the best way to clean hardwood floors?
For cleaning hardwood floors in Fargo, use a soft-bristle broom or a vacuum with a hardwood floor attachment to remove dust and debris. For damp cleaning, use a microfiber mop lightly dampened with a pH-neutral wood floor cleaner. Avoid excessive water, as it can damage the wood and finish. Regular cleaning prevents grit from scratching the surface.
How do I choose between vinyl plank and laminate flooring?
When choosing between vinyl plank and laminate flooring in Fargo, consider water resistance. Vinyl plank is generally more waterproof, making it ideal for kitchens and bathrooms. Laminate offers excellent scratch resistance and can mimic natural materials beautifully. Both are cost-effective options. The specialists can guide you based on your specific needs.
What is the rule of 3 in flooring?
The 'rule of 3' isn't a standard flooring term. However, when discussing hardwood floor refinishing in Fargo, it might relate to the three key stages: sanding to remove the old finish, staining to achieve the desired color, and sealing with protective coats. Each step is vital for a lasting, beautiful result. Understanding these phases is important.
