Hardwood Floor Refinishing Forsyth County
Usually, solid hardwood flooring comes as the standard strip red oak flooring that is ¾ inches thick and 2 ¼ inches wide. While this is the most popular, solid hardwood flooring is available in numerous sizes between 3 ¼ inches and 6 inches plank flooring. It is possible to get flooring less than 2 ¼ wide, or larger than 6 inches wide but it has to be custom milled.
Floorboards come in general lengths from 12 inches to 84 inches. This helps the floor have a more natural look.
There are many species of hardwood available but the most popular are:
- Red Oak hardwood flooring
- White Oak hardwood flooring
- Maple hardwood flooring.
Engineered hardwood flooring is real hardwood. This can be the perfect middle-ground between solid hardwood and laminate. It is also very versatile and can be installed over plywood, concrete, on the main floor, second floor, and even the basement — in locations where solid hardwood is not suitable.
Many of our customers choose Engineered hardwood flooring for their home’s basement where moisture is common. Engineered hardwood floors can be glued directly to concrete subfloors and is a perfect solution for locations with extreme climate conditions.

Hardwood Floor Refinishing, Wood floor Sanding
Many people have beautiful hardwood hidden underneath their carpets, and even more, people have exposed hardwood that is dulled and unattractive. For those with existing hardwood, sanding and refinishing the floors is a great way to revitalize an old floor.
Hardwood can be sanded down to the raw wood (removing 1/32″ to 1/16″ of the top layer of your hardwood floor) and refinished with sealing coats of polyurethane. The sanding brings out the original beauty in the wood, while the polyurethane seals and protects the floor, providing a long-lasting finish.
Sanding and refinishing a floor is the best way to revitalize a floor, mainly because it is not very expensive, and the results turn out beyond expectations! Some people opt to stain their floors a darker color, such as mahogany. The staining process is done before the polyurethane and usually lasts until the floors are sanded again.
Unlike most flooring products, hardwood is durable and carries a long life. However, sanding the floors is not an infinite process, and it is possible to “run out” of sandings. This is normally evident when you can see the installer’s nails appearing between the boards of the floor. This is a good sign your floors cannot be sanded again.
