We had hardwood installed and that's the best thing we have done to this house. Now it always smells so nice and fresh. Carpets in high traffic and living areas really take a beating, and all the drips and spills really take a toll no matter how often you have them professionally cleaned. Germs linger, causing odors. we had hardwood installed in the entry, living room, stairs, landing and one of the bedrooms we use as an office, sewing, hobby and puppy room. We have carpet in the other three bedrooms.
If your going to have wood flooring installed on the first floor, and the floor is concrete, then they put down a moisture gauge first and leave it for two or three days to see if there is any. Our wood sat in the garage for a few days before being installed. We had it done when we were out of the rainy season. |
