If you’ve just purchased an old home because you love the charm and character of it, you’re also likely to find that it’s going to need some serious work. Old homes have some amazing character, but things like floors, walls, electrics, and plumbing are bound to need some work. One of the best things about many old homes, however, is the hardwood floors that they have in part or throughout the entire home.
The Loveliness of Old Hardwood Floors
Did you know that the old home you’re currently living in might has some hidden treasures? Many older homes have wooden floorboards hidden underneath dusty old linoleum and carpets. Revealing them could be the best thing that you ever do when it comes to improving the look of your home! After all, wooden floorboards have an old world charm all their own.
The big problem is that many old hardwood floors, whether they are hidden under the old carpet or not, are scratched and scuffed up. All of those years of heavy use eventually take their toll and can cause the varnish to flake off and the wood to become stained and scratched. The good news is that hiring hardwood flooring contractors in Rocky Hill, CT can make a big difference.
What Can a Flooring Contractor Do?
Hardwood flooring contractors can sand down existing floorboards and then proceed to finish and seal the raw surface. This will leave you with a beautifully textured floor with a lovely natural wooden grain. After buffing the floor and coating it with a modern varnish, hardwood flooring contractors will leave you with a floor surface that is a joy to behold and is ready for many years of use.
