At Wilson's, we specialize in refinishing existing hardwood floors, such as red oak, white oak, pine, maple, parquet and specialty floors. Our process includes sanding, staining, and the application of an easy-maintenance polyurethane finish. Advances in technology, such as our state-of-the-art Dust Containment System (DCS), make refinishing your hardwood floors easier than ever. Although we specialize in refinishing, we would be happy to provide you with a referral to a qualified professional for installation or repairs.
Of course, refinishing is just the first step in enjoying your hardwood floors for a lifetime. At Wilson's, we understand the importance of proper care and maintenance, and that's why we provide all of our customers with the proper cleaning products (Bona's Hardwood Floor Cleaner, recommended by the manufacturer of our finishes), and a helpful list of maintenance tips.
Hardwood Flooring
Solid wood flooring is 100% hardwood milled from lumber. As a natural material, hardwood reacts to changes in its setting, like moisture and extreme temperatures, which cause solid wood to shrink or expand. All solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished if needed over the years. Solid hardwood is not recommended for installation below ground level or in bathrooms.
Laminate flooring has four layers: a wear layer, a design layer, an inner core layer and a backing layer. The wear layer protects the floor from stains and fading. Beneath that, the design layer is literally a photographic image of wood, stone or other natural visual. For structural strength, the inner core layer’s plastic resin keeps the laminate stable and flat. The backing creates a moisture barrier that protects the floor from warping. It’s this layered construction that makes laminate floors so remarkably durable.
Prefinished hardwood flooring offers a no fuss, no muss installation. There's no dust from sanding, no fumes from chemicals, no waiting for the finish to dry. These floors are warranted to last longer than site-finished floors–typically 5 to 35 years, for residential use versus 3 to 5 years. This is because factory applied urethane finishes are much tougher and longer lasting than site-applied finishes. If you like the look of site-finished flooring, but want the durability of prefinished flooring then this is the floor for you.
Shoe molding is a small strip usually made of rubber or wood that protects your baseboard. It is a sort of smaller baseboard that is put on the bottom of the baseboard to protect it from wear and tear. It is called shoe molding because it is designed to protect your baseboard when people wearing shoes bump into. Adding shoe molding can make your baseboard last longer and protect your investment. It can also cover up small distortions in the baseboard. Shoe molding is usually installed in homes with tile or hardwood floors.
Baseboards cover the uneven edge of flooring next to the wall; protects the wall from kicks, abrasion, and furniture; and can serve as a decorative molding.
