Q.
Can wood floors
be installed in any room in the house? |
| |
A.
Because of the
exceptionally durable finishes we use, wood floors can
be installed in any room, even high traffic areas like
hallways and kitchens. Because of high moisture, we
advise against installing some types of wood floors in
bathrooms. Be sure to ask your installer if your wood of
choice can withstand the moisture conditions. |

|
Q.
Are wood floors
hard to clean? |
| |
A.
A wood floor
will be the easiest floor in your house to take care
of. We provide every customer with complete care and
maintenance instructions. |
| |
|
Q.
Why would I
choose a wood floor? |
| |
A.
Beauty,
durability (a well maintained floor will usually outlast
the house) ease of maintenance, clean and
non-allergenic, increases home value, never out of
style, and the choices and variety of color make it very
versatile for interior decorating. |

Q.
Will my house
be covered with dust after installation? |
| |
A.
When sanding a
wood floor there will be dust in the air of the room or
area we are working on. Our sanding machines have built
in vacuum systems to provide dust collections. In
addition to this, we can hang plastic in doorways,
openings between rooms, and over special areas of the
house that might need covering to prevent the dust from
spreading throughout the house. We at J.D. Flooring
take great care in masking off areas to be sanded, so as
to keep dust contained to work areas, and do a thorough
job in cleanup after the job is complete. |

|
Q.
Can you make
our floor any color we want? |
| |
A.
We can do any
color from rich coffee brown to pastel green. We will
work with you on colors that you may already have in
mind, or offer suggestions and guidance to get exactly
what you want. |

|
Q.
We've just
pulled up our old carpet and found wood floors
underneath, but there are several unsightly patches and
pet stains. Is the floor salvageable? |
| |
A.
Yes, it is
usually a fairly simple matter of carefully cutting out
the bad floor boards and "weaving" new ones in followed
by sanding and refinishing. |
| |
|
|
Q.
What do I need
to do to prepare for installation of my wood floor? |
| |
A.
Customers
have to make sure they follow a list of of tasks to be
completed before the wood floor is installed.
1)
Room must be completely emptied. We can help in moving
heavy items, if prior arrangements are made.
2) Remove all
small objects such as lamps, pictures and breakable
items from counters and shelves.
3) Remove
drapes and window treatments.
4)
We recommend that all people,
pets, fish, household plants, etc. vacate the house
while the floors are wet with very strong smelling and
flammable solvents. Since vapors from the sealer and
finish are flammable we will extinguish all pilot lights
during application and drying time. Instruct all
possible visitors not to smoke or ignite any flame.
5) If our
help is needed in the removal and replacement of heavy
furniture or appliances, they must be emptied of
breakable and heavy items.
6)
A charge for return trips to
replace furniture or appliances is figured on an
individual per job basis.
Note:
Commercial Companies,
Keep in mind that while doing your
floors, most of the time we can not allow traffic on the
floor. You may want to consider having us do your floor
during the late evening hours. This gives us time to
plan a stopping point so the unfinished floor can have
traffic on it before the next phase.
