For those that have taken one look at their old wooden floor and made the decision that it is high time something is done about it, this might not prove to be as costly as you first thought.

Although having new hardwood flooring put in can really transform a room, the wood itself will still need time to settle into its new environment. Therefore, one option that may be worth considering is the renovation and refinish of the existing floor.

Obviously, there will be a number of factors that will contribute towards the viability of this. If there is a great degree of damage to your classic floor, then it might be advisable to take it all up and start again – but you would be surprised what a specialist wooden flooring company can do to restore even the most neglected of floors.

It is certainly not going to be too much trouble to get the experts in to assess the situation and give you an honest appraisal of the current state of your floor. They may very well suggest that new flooring is installed but, then again, the best solution may be to return your old floor to former glories instead.
