Installation
The first step is to allow hardwood flooring to acclimate before installation. Hardwood is highly sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity, and failing to acclimate it properly can lead to problems such as buckling, warping, or gaps between planks.
Next, preparing a proper subfloor—installing plywood or leveling the concrete subfloor—is essential for the successful installation and longevity of hardwood flooring. Without it, hardwood floors can be prone to unevenness, squeaking, and premature wear. There are several options available for installing hardwood flooring: glue-together floating installation, glue-down installation, floating click installation, as well as staple/nail-down installation.
Refinishing
Hardwood floor refinishing services rejuvenate floors with dents or scratches using industrial drum sanders. These machines are vital but noisy. After sanding, we apply new stains or finishes, such as water-based polyurethane or hard wax oil for the desired color and sheen.
Water-based polyurethane emits no harmful gases, making it safe for indoor use. It’s durable and enhances wood’s beauty while resisting wear. Hard wax oil suits low-traffic areas, offering a natural look and eco-friendly finish. It penetrates wood, providing a matte or satin finish and highlighting texture and grain. Both options restore floors’ beauty and luster effectively.
Hardwood Repair
We specialize in addressing various issues that can arise with hardwood flooring. These issues range from minor scratches and dents to more extensive damage like water stains or warped boards. We begin with a thorough assessment of your floor’s condition to determine the extent of the damage and the best course of action.
Depending on the specific problem, repairs may include sanding, filling, patching, or even replacing damaged boards altogether. Whether it is fixing a single spot or tackling larger-scale damage, we aim to breathe new life into worn or damaged floors.
Restoration
Unlike regular refinishing, where the surface can be sanded down extensively, restoring antique or fragile floors requires a softer touch and a more delicate approach. These floors often possess unique character and historical value that must be preserved, making careful restoration essential.
With expertise and precision, No Cork Hardwoods will delicately sand and refinish the surface, ensuring that the floor retains its original beauty and charm. By taking extra care during the restoration process, we extend the functional lifespan of the floors for another generation to enjoy, honoring the craftsmanship and history embodied within them.
Recoating
Hardwood floor recoating services offer a solution for dull-looking floors that lack gaps or cracks in the wood. A fresh coat of finish restores the shine and luster of the hardwood, effectively renewing its appearance and revitalizing the space. We recommend recoating every 3 to 10 years or whenever you feel like the floor begins to lose its luster.
