Hardwood floor refinishing in Russell and Embrun
Refinishing hardwood and old softwood floors in Russell, Embrun and the surrounding township.
Russell Township has two kinds of house: newer subdivisions in Russell and Embrun with prefinished floors and builder stairs, and older village and farm homes that can have original pine or softwood floors along with oak.
Softwood floors like pine are much softer than oak. They dent easily and sand quickly, so they need a lighter touch, and they won't ever be as hard-wearing as oak. Many owners like the worn, lived-in look and just want them cleaned up and sealed.
Homes heated with wood stoves get very dry in winter, which opens bigger seasonal gaps between boards. Refinishing works best when the house has been at steady temperature and humidity for a while.
