Murfreesboro Hardwood Flooring: Hardwood Flooring in Murfreesboro, TN

Hardwood flooring in Murfreesboro

Murfreesboro Hardwood Flooring fits new hardwood floors in Murfreesboro homes, sands and refinishes old ones, and repairs the boards and what's under them. We also work in Smyrna, La Vergne and other nearby towns.

Once you get in touch, we set up a visit. We look at the floor you have now, measure each room, and ask how you want the new one to look. Then we send you a written quote.

If you go ahead, we'll go over what has to come out of each room. We'll also talk about where the dust goes, which doorways we'll close off, and how you'll get in and out while we work. If you have pets, tell us early so we can plan around them.

Floors we fit

Hardwood floor installation

We do hardwood floor installation in single rooms, open-plan spaces and new additions.

Solid and engineered boards

We fit solid hardwood flooring, wood all the way through, and engineered hardwood flooring, a real wood surface on a layered base. We'll explain where we'd put each one in your house.

Oak, maple and hickory

We fit red oak flooring and white oak flooring, and we'll bring samples of both so you can see the color side by side in your own light. We also fit maple flooring for owners after a pale, quiet look, and hickory flooring for owners who like a busy grain.

Stairs and carpet

We fit hardwood stairs to match your floors. With carpet to hardwood, we take up the carpet and put wood down in its place.

Refinishing

Hardwood floor refinishing

For hardwood floor refinishing, we sand a worn floor back to bare wood, then build up new coats of finish.

Hardwood floor staining

We do hardwood floor staining once the wood is sanded, in the new color you pick. Ask to see a test patch on your own floor before you decide.

Screen and recoat

For a screen and recoat, we buff the top coat and add a new one, without sanding down to bare wood.

Repairs

Hardwood floor repair

We do hardwood floor repair for squeaks, loose boards, deep scratches and burn marks.

Water-damaged floors

After a leak, our water-damaged hardwood floor repair starts with finding out how far the water went.

Subfloor repair

We do subfloor repair when the boards or panels under your wood floor, called the subfloor, are soft, uneven or rotten.

Picking a finish

Shine and wear

We'll bring samples of the finish, the clear coat over the wood, from flat to glossy, so you can choose the shine in your own light. Ask us how each one stands up to kids, dogs and chairs, and what upkeep it needs.

What's in the finish and the glue

Whichever finish you choose, ask us what's in it, and in any glue we'd use. One chemical to ask about is formaldehyde. The EPA describes formaldehyde as a colorless gas with a strong smell. It says formaldehyde is found in the resins used to make composite wood products, such as hardwood plywood. It says it is also found in glues, paints and coatings, and lacquers and finishes. The EPA has set limits on how much formaldehyde composite wood products may release.

The EPA says heat speeds up the release of formaldehyde, and humidity may also play a part. It says air conditioning and dehumidifiers (machines that dry the air) can help reduce it by keeping a moderate temperature and less humidity. It also says to increase ventilation in your home, especially after bringing new sources of formaldehyde inside.

If your quote includes plywood, engineered boards, glue or a new finish, ask for each product by name. Then you can look each one up before work starts.

Questions to ask before you sign

• Which wood, which grade, how wide, and solid or engineered?
• What subfloor work is included, and what would it cost if more is needed?
• Which stain and finish, by name, and how many coats?
• Is moving furniture and hauling the old floor away part of the price?
• How will the new floor meet the floors in the next rooms?
• How will dust be kept out of the rest of the house?

Questions about hardwood floors in Murfreesboro

Do I need a permit to refinish my hardwood floors in Murfreesboro?

The City of Murfreesboro says normal maintenance repairs can be made without a permit, as long as they don't break the building code. It lists floor finishing as one of these repairs. If you are planning bigger work, ask the city first.

Can you refinish one room and not the rest?

Yes. If we think it won't match the rooms next to it, we'll tell you before we start.

Will sanding get rid of dark pet stains?

We can't promise that. Some stains go deeper than we can sand. We'll test a spot and tell you if those boards should be replaced instead.

Can you fit hardwood over a concrete slab?

We check the slab first. Depending on what we find, we may suggest engineered boards.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover all of Murfreesboro, plus nearby towns such as Smyrna, La Vergne, Christiana, Rockvale, Eagleville and Woodbury.
