Hey Everybody! I’m another wander from lumberjocks, and thought I’d stop in and ask a question or three :) My projects have been put on hold, but we’ve been tossing around our options on this one, and I could use some more opinions. Currently my living room has oak hardwood flooring in it, but it is in pretty bad shape. Previous homeowners have used every kind of nail known to man to get the squeaks out of the floor and have obviously failed. There’s a lot of nails, usually focused mostly in the hallway and in patches throughout the room (that’s about 22×12 ish?) We had Stanley Steamer come in to give us a quote on if it could be done and how much. We were surprised when they said it could be refinished, but the price was about as much as it would cost us to lay an engineered floor or carpet over top. I thought about DIY’ing it, but I also know I don’t have the time to do it myself, and there are places in the process that I could really mess up if not careful. We’ve thought about just laying an engineered flooring, so that we could also run the same flooring into our kitchen for a bit more cohesion. We were looking at Pergo or Bellawood. Has anybody had any good/bad experiences with either? I’m leaning to the Pergo since I know it comes with the underlayment already attached. All about making my life more easy :) I’m also wondering if it would be in my better interest to just take up the wood floor and start fresh with the sub floor? Negates the time I’d save so it’s something to think on. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks everybody! Becky -- aspiring jill of all trades |
