The problem is most homeowners tend to call for help only when the damage has spread extensively to various parts of the house, rather than getting them sorted out at the initial stage. Wood flooring would be much simpler to install in such cases.
First the flooring…
The Hawthorn Woods home was in desperate need of repairs and fixes, since it had been neglected for a long time. The basic problem was the wood floor being stained with the patina of time – too many kids running about and spilling food, visitors bringing dirt and debris to the house underneath shoes, and general wear due to heavy traffic. We ripped up the old flooring completely, as it wasn’t possible or feasible to get repairs done, and began the installation process. They didn’t want any fancy hardwood floor designs so we struck to natural wood flooring and finished it accordingly.
…followed by molding
Moldings have always been underestimated, as it was believed that these installations couldn’t contribute much to the theme and décor of the room. Even though it might not influence the ambience directly, it does add a certain value to each room in your home – it is the perfect way for the walls and ceilings to merge tastefully. Most contemporary homes feature this prominent architectural detail.
Eventually the stairs and handrails
The stairs had to be given an overhaul as well, including the handrails that were rusty and dilapidated. Refinishing stairs is tougher than the rest of the house, because the area isn’t uniform, and we need to ensure that every inch is covered. The stairs were polished in a light brown finish, similar to the wood floor in other rooms, while the handrails were done in pristine white, which looked great with the wooden hues.
The wooden accents went well with the interiors. That is why we insist that homeowners shouldn’t choose a random option when it comes to wood flooring as it is vital they match the surroundings and blend in. Out-of-place flooring in the wrong color or finishing can easily ruin the overall appearance.
