"My kitchen floor was in deplorable condition; David and his team turned it into a floor that looks brand new. He did an amazing job! Not only that, they set up so that not a single speck of wood dust escaped the work area - amazing. Their clean-up, too, was great with nothing for me to do, but return the things removed from the area refinished. This was one of the rare instances of a perfect job."

"We suffered water damage to the hickory floor in our home after the storms of January & February 2023. We contacted Clark’s Hardwood Floors, Inc. for help. We were very happy with Clark’s through all phases of refinishing, from the initial estimate through job completion. Their estimate was significantly lower than a competitor’s bid, their office staff was delightful to deal with, and their refinishing crew was superb. Our refinishing crew was Jorge (lead) and Nidiro. Jorge let us know exactly what to expect and when, which helped us plan our own activities around the job. They used the “atomic dust-free system” to sand off the old finish. It really was dust free! They were thorough and meticulous in everything they did. And, although the old finish was removed completely along baseboards and in every nook and cranny, our baseboards were not even nicked! Every flaw in the floor was meticulously addressed. These guys were excellent craftsmen! Because we had had issues in front of the kitchen sink, at Larry Moreno’s suggestion the new finish was completed with Traffic Commercial Grade polyurethane. The result was stunning! Our hickory floor looks better than ever before! We are thrilled with the results! All our interactions with Clark’s have been excellent! We recommend them highly!"

"I am extremely satisfied with the work Mitch performed restoring my 60 year old, very neglected wood floor in my rental property. He exhibited a degree of professionalism and courtesy that unfortunately is few and far between. He kept me informed at every stage of the project and answered my questions to my satisfaction. He arrived on time every day without fail. The project was completed on time and within budget. The floors look amazing!! My hard to impress brother was speechless when he saw the results. It was money well spent. Thank you Mitch!!!! Regards, Manuel Gorgulho"

"Richard is a wood floor craftsman. He replaced the oak floor in our entryway, including a 17’ thick bullnose, repair to the raised subfloor, and fabrication of a custom oak step. He also refinished over 350 sq ft of original oak flooring in our living room and replaced some damaged oak flooring in the hallway. Everything turned out great with the refinished flooring blending in perfectly with existing floors."

Customers say: Quick response

"I have only good things to say about working with J. Brent Baker Flooring. My floors look wonderful and everything stayed on schedule and on budget. The owner went out his way to make sure my family understood the scope of the job and was happy with the work. He has a wealth of knowledge about how to care for the refinished floors and helped us secure materials to move our piano back in place without damaging the newly refinished floors. I have already recommended him to friends and family who are refinishing their floors. His company does quality work and Brent proved to be someone we could trust to take good care of our home."

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

If your floor is still sticky after mopping, chances are you used too much or too little of the cleaning solution. Using too little won’t get all of the grime off, but using too much can leave its own residue. Refer to the cleaning solution’s instructions and dilute it as directed.

While carpet over carpet may provide some additional insulation and soundproofing benefits, it's not as effective as other methods. Layering carpets can add a modest buffer against noise and temperature fluctuations, but it's limited compared to installing thicker carpet padding or using specialized soundproofing materials. For optimal floor insulation and soundproofing, consider alternative solutions tailored to your specific needs and budget, such as adding additional padding or soundproofing underlayments beneath the carpet.

Carpet installers use furniture sliders or blankets to protect your furniture during the installation process. They handle each piece with care to minimize the risk of damage. Additionally, they may employ techniques such as lifting and shifting furniture rather than dragging it across the floor to prevent scratches or other marks. If you have particularly delicate or heavy items that need to be moved, discuss special handling with the installers beforehand.

No subflooring is perfectly level, but you should never ignore any noticeable floor sagging. Most contractors deem a floor that slopes by a 1/2 inch to 1 inch per 20 feet of floor acceptable. Further investigation is required when the slope or sag is more than one and a half inches.

In addition to local hardware stores, many big-box chains and national equipment rental companies carry floor sanders for rent. Additionally, U-Sand, manufacturers of a random orbital floor sander, operate a rental program in partnership with a number of different regional chains and local outlets. Make sure to thoroughly compare the prices at all the stores nearest you—while the costs average out to a similar range across dealerships, some of them offer significantly better rates for long-term rentals than others.
