Call us biased, but we whole-heartedly agree that hardwood flooring projects belong at the top of the list. When remodeling or building a new home, flooring choices take center stage. The impact of your flooring choice will be felt for decades and is key in achieving a well-designed and high performance interior.
The Hardwood Co specializes in several services related to flooring. First up: refinishing existing hardwood floors (professionally installed and finished hardwood floors can be refinished multiple times during a home’s lifespan). Refinishing hardwood floors updates and revitalizes them and incorporates them into the greater design scheme of the home. Solid white oak and red oak hardwood floors are the most common type we work with in our refinishing projects. A wide array of stains and finishes can be utilized to meet any design demands a homeowner might have.
One of the requests we get quite often is to transform a dated, orange-y, red oak hardwood floor into a fresh and updated hardwood floor (as seen above). We achieve this look with a custom stain combo and, even if you’re not local to us, we can help you do the same through one of our Virtual Design Consults. Book one here and we’ll share our custom stain combo with you and advise you during a one-on-one FaceTime call with you in your space.
The Hardwood Co also installs new hardwood floors in existing homes and new construction. One of the most common projects we tackle is to replace carpet in bedrooms or other spaces with hardwood floors. We expertly demo carpet, install new hardwood floors and finish them to blend well with adjoining, existing hardwood floors that we are concurrently refinishing. We hear feedback regularly from our customers that this change has increased their enjoyment of the home and improved the home’s value.
Another upgrade to consider is to have The Hardwood Co install engineered wood flooring from our own curated collection. The choices are endless, as you can see here. Engineered wood flooring offers durability and resilience, while providing stunning design elements to complete any space from bedrooms to living rooms to kitchens. The Hardwood Co also offers a great selection of luxury vinyl flooring which is perfect for many applications, including basements and utility rooms. Local to us in Bowling Green, KY?
