"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!"

Customers say: Quality work

"I am very happy with my floor! I had old, pet stained and scratched hardwood in the living room, one bedroom and particialy down the hallway. There was a very bad spot in the hallway that my cat had soiled which need to be replaced and the rest of the hall needed new wood. It all matches and looks amazing. The refinishing of the two rooms looks amazing. I also got pre-finished hardwood in the kitchen and the other two bedroom. As I write this I am looking at it and am just so happy. Another thing the crew was extremely nice and easy to work with. Alex was very helpful and worked with me as I had to play musical rooms while they worked. I would definitely recommend Diaz floors to others."

"John was so professional, and the floor looks stunning. Working alone, he finished the entire job, which involved a large kitchen and adjoining dining room, in just three days. The prices from other contractors were comparable. But some did not show up or return calls when they said they would. That's why we went with John. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him."

"The sales staff, "Liz" and "Rita," were outstanding. Tom Strauss, president of the company, patiently answered all of my detailed questions--and demonstrated exceedingly dry wit from time to time.
My wife and I chose Cambridge Turnberry 6269 carpet, model "Stroke" 26910 for the carpet in the hallways of apartments 1 and 2, a style and model Straus had installed a few years earlier which we found to be an excellent carpet for heavy tenant foot traffic. The installation crew was punctual, efficient, and, in sum, did an outstanding job. A sitting tenant is now very pleased with her new carpet. My wife and I are likewise pleased with the carpet in the refurbished apartment we will rent this summer.
We are especially happy with the green, 100% rubber, 100-oz. professional sound proofing padding in the bedroom. The thick Royalty "Vermillion Traveling Tan" carpet and padding together provide a luxurious, ultra quiet floor covering for the bedroom.
The Straus carpeting team gave us their best service. We could not have chosen a better carpeting company. And thanks to my brother, Ross, and his wife, Ginny, for recommending the Straus Carpet Company.

"If you're looking for a flooring company you can actually trust, look no further. From our very first interaction, this team made us feel like a priority, not just another job on the schedule. Lou and Dan bring a genuine, personal touch that's hard to find these days, and Jana's support made the whole process even easier. Being a smaller, local business really showed in how attentive they were — multiple visits to our home to measure and assess before any work began, no cutting corners. This is exactly the kind of company you want to support. Highly recommend."

Hardwood Flooring FAQs, answered by experts

Concrete flooring, particularly sealed concrete, is the lowest maintenance flooring available. It is affordable, durable, and can last more than 100 years if you seal it and care for it. Far from just being a boring gray, you can stain, stamp, and even paint concrete to match your style and decor. If concrete is not your thing, consider ceramic tile flooring. It is waterproof, stain resistant, and perfect for wet rooms like kitchens and bathrooms. Luxury vinyl tile also requires very little care; it is water and stain resistant, very durable, and affordable.

Whether you install flooring before or after kitchen cabinets depends primarily on the type of flooring you are using. For materials like hardwood, tile, and sheet flooring, the best practice is to install the flooring first. This ensures the cabinets are installed at the correct height and on a stable surface. However, you should not install cabinets on top of floating floors, such as laminate or luxury vinyl plank (LVP). These types of flooring need room to expand and contract with temperature and humidity changes. Placing heavy cabinets on top can restrict this movement, potentially causing the floor to buckle and making the cabinets unstable. For floating floors, install the cabinets first and then lay the flooring up to them. Other reasons to consider installing cabinets before the flooring include saving money on materials (since you won't need flooring under the cabinets) and avoiding potential damage to your new floor during cabinet installation. Additionally, installing cabinets directly on the subfloor might prevent voiding your flooring's warranty.

Carpet installation costs include carpet type (material, weave), room size, subfloor preparation, and labor costs. Getting multiple quotes provides a clearer picture of expected expenses.

There could be several reasons why your carpet padding has adhered to the floor. Some of the most common reasons include:

  • There was intentional gluing or stapling to the surface.

  • The polyurethane and floor bonded over years of wear.

  • Pet urine, spills, or other substances leaked through the carpet and created a sticky surface.

If the carpeting in the home has not been changed in a long time, clearing off the padding underneath could be difficult. Pet urine can wreak havoc on carpeting and the flooring underneath. If you plan to reinstall carpeting, remember to use proper cleaning techniques for removing pet urine odors to prevent future problems.

A subfloor's lifespan can range from 30 years to the entire life of the house, which is often between 50 and 100 years. The actual longevity depends on the material and its protection from damage. For example, while OSB may last longer than plywood, it is not the best choice for heavy flooring like ceramic tile. The most critical factor is moisture; a subfloor that avoids water damage, mold, and termites can last for decades. However, prolonged exposure to moisture will cause it to warp, rot, or grow mold, significantly shortening its life.
