We will create a pallet of different stains for you to see on your wood floor to help you make a decision.

HAND SCRAPED WOOD FLOOR
If you love antique or rustic look, hand scraped hardwood floors will be a perfect choice for you. This type of flooring process uses scrapers and other hand tools to create a natural looking distressed, time worn look. This style of flooring is very popular for rustic or farmhouse decorating styles. It’s also excellent for high wear areas, as it does a much better job of hiding any nicks or scratches that might otherwise be very noticeable on a regular smooth surfaced hardwood.
DUSTLESS HARDWOOD FLOORS
People often, avoid sanding and refinishing of their hardwood floors because of the dust the sanding processes can create. BM Hardwood Flooring uses high powered vacuum systems for dustless sanding wood floors. These vacuums collect the dust created during the process and also filter the air they exhaust. This dustless system eliminates 98% of the dust that accumulates from the sanding process. This option is clean, safe and fast! For expert hardwood floor repair in Lake Forest, choose BM Hardwood Flooring for a dust-free experience.
ENGINEERED WOOD INSTALLATION AND REFINISHING
Engineered Flooring has an actual hardwood surface to give you the appearance you desire but is backed with usually 3 or 4 layers of plywood or HDF (high density fiber) underneath. This type of flooring can be refinished usually 1-3 times, depending on the thickness of the surface wood layer. Engineered Flooring is a more affordable and more environmentally friendly option and is also great for all areas of your home. Can be installed in high moisture areas of your home, like the basement or on any concrete subfloor.
KITCHEN WOOD FLOOR INSTALLATION
Installing wood floors in the kitchen is a critical decision. The floor will be exposed to many accidents, like dropping plates or knives, liquid spills etc. It’s very important to choose the right hardwood type which will be able to handle it. Oak flooring is a popular domestic species for kitchen floors. It has a beautiful grain and texture and is a very hardwood capable of withstanding the abuse in your kitchen. Other recommended hardwood spieces for kitchen flooring are: ash hardwood, brazilian cherry or maple. Regardless of hardwood species another popular choice for the kitchen is a “handscraped” , or wired brushed floor. The handscraped, or wired brushed wood flooring looks more rustic and rougher and works very well to hide small dents, scratches or nicks that will occur.
