Wood Floors

I am looking to find someone to install some pre finished wood flooring at my home on the lake. Does anyone have any recommendations?

We used Chestnut Hill Chimney ( yes chimney) out of Farmington to install cork flooring in our house. Roughly 650 sq ft.

Some of the crew Mark has does floors on the side, when they are slow ( chimney stuff) they do floors.

Regardless of floors or chimneys, they do excellent work.

How do you like your cork floors. Where did you purchase them from?

We like them , we got them at Home Depot. About $4 sqft.

We had our great room and kitchen done and are on the 2nd floor. We hardly hear any foot steps or other noise when we are downstairs, they really absorb the noise.

Clean up is good, just need a dust mop. One thing that is a downer is that you cannot wax or put any sealer on them as they have a bark finish and the crevices will turn white.

Oh... 3 dogs, they repel fluids pretty good, no staining.

Most likely going to do the living area on the first floor this winter, another 400 or so sq ft.

I installed 900 sq feet of the 'floating' interlock panels. They are not stapled or nailed onto the subflooring so the float on the surface. The subflooring can move without disturbing the panels. Five years later the panels look great!

Wicked easy to install!
