Installing a hard wood flooring is not necessarily a complex process and in the hands of the right Miami area contactor can be quite simple and efficiently done. Once you decide on the kind of wood that you want for your flooring, decide if you want further designs or finishes to your floors. Wooden floorings these days aren't just plain and no frills -- they have borders, and come in a variety of finishes. For instance, you can choose to have a stunning medallion in the middle of the room or maybe a distressed finish or inlay that will add to the charm of the floor. Does your Miami area contractor have the right kind of experience for the job?
Make sure your Miami, FL area hardwood flooring contractor is licensed to practice in your state, and has accreditation from the proper associations in his niche. The hardwood flooring contractor you're considering must be professional, and his company must have a physical brick and mortar address. His workers should be licensed too, and should be neat and professional looking. They should have access to a company van, and should arrive at your home with all the gear necessary for the flooring installation. The contractor and any sub contractors who work under him must be insured. There are no two ways about this. If he is not insured and there is an accident on your property involving one of the workers, you could be held liable for damages.
The contractor must be able to give you an estimated time of completion for the project. He must also give you a free and written estimate for your wooden flooring project. He should be able to give you an assessment of the project stages, and should be forthright about the different products he will use. He should offer warranties as applicable. Your Miami, Florida area contractor must also inform you about dust containment procedures and clean up procedures he will undertake on your property.
We are moving into this home on May 21st - we would like to get an estimate on refinishing all floors in the upstairs. There are 4 bedrooms, 2 walk in closets, several small closets and a hallway - all about 775 sq ft There is currently carpet in all the areas except one bedroom which has a finished floor. I have pulled up the carpet and floors look good underneath. I would like to have the whole area refinished.

While moving a piece of furniture, a sharp piece gouged across a few (5-6) of the hardwood floor boards. These need repaired or replaced, but need to match invisibly. Perhaps swap with boards from inside a closet? Boards are honey oak(?) each about 2.5" wide
