Flooring Mistakes Homeowners Make

Flooring Mistakes Homeowners Make

14 Apr, 2017  /  by canopyadmin

While we’d all like to think we have the expertise and experience to install home flooring, sometimes, it’s best to leave it to the hardwood flooring professionals at Canopy Hardwood. Of course, that’s not always an option, because hiring a hardwood flooring professional does cost a bit more than hiring yourself. Or, you might just be adamant about trying yourself. If you’re installing your own hardwood flooring or finding the right hardwood flooring for your home, here are some tips you should keep in mind from the professionals at Canopy Hardwood.

Don’t overestimate your ability.

Yes, you can probably install great hardwood flooring from Canopy Hardwood. But, if you start getting the feeling that you’re doing it wrong, don’t be too proud to admit that and call the hardwood flooring experts at Canopy Hardwood. Improper floor installation can lead to a shorter life span of the floor. You may end having to rip up the entire floor in a few short months, just because they were laid down improperly. To avoid that problem, you’ll want to know you’re up for the challenge you’ve given yourself!

Don’t worry about the cost!

One of the most common challenges with hardwood flooring is worrying about the cost of installation. That’s why we choose to do it ourselves, instead of calling in a hardwood flooring professional. That’s fine. But, when it comes to purchasing flooring products, cheap is not the answer. Especially when it comes to hardwood flooring. There is no compromise on price.

Don’t ignore the care instructions.

Many of us like to ignore the care instructions for everything. We all think we know the proper way to maintain the lifespan of, well, everything. Unfortunately, when it comes to hardwood flooring, you’d be surprised what you don’t know. Hardwood flooring, for example, requires consistent maintenance. Hardwood floors should not get wet. If anything is spilled, it has to be cleaned immediately. Be sure to pay attention to the instructions for properly caring for your home flooring, especially hardwood floors. This will make a huge difference in how long your floors will last.

Don’t be afraid to ask for help.
