Real hardwood floor man vs. wanna be hardwood floor man. &lt;strong&gt;How to identify a qualified hardwood floor technician?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If a man says: &lt;em&gt;‘I’m a hardwood floor installer’&lt;/em&gt; specific questions to ask are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- How many years of experience you have in refinishing?&lt;br /&gt;- Who did you apprentice under? Who thought you the trade?&lt;br /&gt;- How many years did you apprentice with this company/or school?&lt;br /&gt;- May I have 3 referrals (clients and past employers/school)?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The truth is a &lt;em&gt;‘very good hardwood floor technician’&lt;/em&gt; is not easy to find! &lt;/strong&gt;The problem is if you ask contractors, general contractors, and even floor peoples if they know about hardwood floors a lot of them will say, yes, when in reality they don’t know about hardwood, or they don’t know how to do it properly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The handyman warning&lt;/strong&gt; - there’s an old expression that people must keep in mind which is ‘a dabbler in all, a master of none’ hardwood flooring is an &lt;strong&gt;ART&lt;/strong&gt; and sometimes a handyman can do a little drywall, electrical or painting, remember, hardwood flooring is a finished product and you need to do the job correctly in order for the product to appear at its best, and last for many years. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The handyman situation comes down to &lt;strong&gt;hire a hardwood floor specialist one who knows about wood inside and out&lt;/strong&gt;. We, at Royal Hardwood Floors have devoted our entire life to this craftmanship we custom tailor hardwood floors and love what we do. What you don’t want is a floor guy that does cement ceramic carpet and hardwood, or someone that one week is doing electrical and the next week plumbing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For unparalleled quality, comfort and durability &lt;a href="http://royalhardwoodfloors.com"&gt;Royal Hardwood Floors&lt;/a&gt;... for floors of long lasting beauty!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Written by Sabrina Steczko from Royal Hardwood floors, Dec 2009.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5902346079266810065-5060759191046574396?l=royalhardwoodfloors.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5902346079266810065/posts/default/5060759191046574396'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5902346079266810065/posts/default/5060759191046574396'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://royalhardwoodfloors.blogspot.com/2008/05/hardwood-instalation.html' title='How to Identify a Qualified Technician?'/><author><name>3rd Generation Hardwood Floor Specialists</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02099303580975915327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GUQVp0z6xhk/SzTOoWBeWkI/AAAAAAAAAEc/okTCfZBfYIA/S220/rhf-logo-small-rgb.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902346079266810065.post-3524024753784657267</id><published>2008-05-22T06:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-23T06:01:55.183-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Old Wood Floor Restoration</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Consultation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many consultants - contractors, general contractors, floor peoples and even some hardwood floor companies want to make a quick buck and charge way too much. Some like to make a job sound difficult or make a job look like it’s a long process when in fact it’s not. To a person that may not know about the business, vocabulary and steps, the consultant may ‘sound’ like he knows what he’s taking about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ask the consultant if he is the one doing the floor? If not, &lt;strong&gt;ask to talk to the floor installers?&lt;/strong&gt; Sounding like one knows doesn’t mean one does know. If he’s not doing the work and supervising each step it matters not what he says or knows. There’s a big difference between knowing and doing, &lt;strong&gt;ask the consultant who are the people doing the work? And what is their experience? Ask for references of past work they’ve done?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When it comes to repairing and restoring old floors - floor peoples, contractors and general contractors often jump to the conclusion, because they pretend they know about hardwood floors, they claim that there’s nothing to do with old floors that they need to rip it out and install new hardwood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some floor jobs can be a difficult task and require more time and effort than usual to finish, &lt;strong&gt;yet they are not impossible to restore!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Old wood floor restoration - select a hardwood floor specialist for a consultation. Don’t ask a general floor guy to consult your hardwood floor. &lt;strong&gt;Choose an expert hardwood floor technician because they have devoted their lives to hardwood floors and do nothing but hardwood!&lt;/strong&gt; They can give you the real deal, the truth about restoring your old hardwood floors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For unparalleled quality, comfort and durability &lt;a href="http://royalhardwoodfloors.com "&gt;Royal Hardwood Floors &lt;/a&gt;floors of long lasting beauty!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Written by Sabrina Steczko from Royal Hardwood floors, Dec 2009.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5902346079266810065-3524024753784657267?l=royalhardwoodfloors.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5902346079266810065/posts/default/3524024753784657267'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5902346079266810065/posts/default/3524024753784657267'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://royalhardwoodfloors.blogspot.com/2008/05/refinishing.html' title='Old Wood Floor Restoration'/><author><name>3rd Generation Hardwood Floor Specialists</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02099303580975915327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GUQVp0z6xhk/SzTOoWBeWkI/AAAAAAAAAEc/okTCfZBfYIA/S220/rhf-logo-small-rgb.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902346079266810065.post-5568432554183700311</id><published>2008-05-22T06:47:00.003-07:00</published><updated>2009-12-25T14:20:10.320-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Allergies?
