"I can’t say enough good things about Tomahawk Flooring. Richard and his father were knowledgeable, skilled, professional and quick to respond whenever I had a question. They installed laminate flooring in seven rooms of our house including two bathrooms and did a great job. The floor looks wonderful. I highly recommend them."

"My floors look amazing now! They restored all the wood floors in our newly bought 1900's Victorian from dark, dull and dingy, to dazzling! I highly recommend having the D&T team refinish your hardwood floors."

"This company was excellent. The floors came out beautifully. There was little to no finish on the floors for the last 20 years or so. The three bedrooms came out stunning. The first floor had quite a bit of damage and pet stains that couldn't be completely sanded out, so they advised staining the floor in order to blend them in and they came out fine. They started work on a Monday morning and completed the whole house by Thursday morning. They kept me up to date on the progress as they went. When they left the place was spotless. Anthony even gave me advice on how to clean and take care of the floors. Don't hesitate to hire this company!"

"Steve, Dave, and Chad were wonderful! Curtious and kind...and there to get the job done! Not only did they refinish our existing hardwood floor, they installed new hardwood throughout the majority of the house, and installed new tile floors. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. Thank you!"

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

No, replacing flooring is considered a renovation. You're updating an existing feature without changing the layout or structure of the space. However, it can be a remodel if extensive work is needed to update the subflooring.

In most cases, carpeting isn’t kind to the wood that it’s attached to. Most carpet installation uses adhesive or nailing strips, both of which will damage wood. Conversely, you can choose to use an adhesive designed to be removed from wood, in which case carpeting can actually protect your hardwood stairs.

There are a few different types of finishes to choose from for the final step of the project. 

Water-based polyurethane sealants emit fewer odors and fumes but dry quickly, which can pose a challenge when trying to get a smooth coat. Oil-based polyurethane sealants let out more odors and fumes into the air (it’s especially important to wear a respirator if you choose this type), but they take longer to dry, which can be more forgiving during the finishing step. 

Some may prefer wood oil to polyurethane because rather than creating a layer, it becomes part of the wood. Wood oil takes longer to dry, and is less resistant to wear and tear; however, it creates a natural-looking result by enhancing the grain of the wood. 

Costs depend on carpet quality, labor, underlayment, and furniture moving requirements.

Door transitions can work with virtually any flooring type; however, different transition strips lend themselves better to specific flooring types. For instance, if you are bridging the gap between a taller floor, like carpet, to a shorter floor, like hardwood, then you will want a transition strip with a slight slope to bridge the height difference. These transition strips are called reducer molding. On the other hand, if you are bridging two floors of the same height, you can use flat transition strips, such as T-strips and seam binders.
