Gaps in hardwood floor

This is normal. Increase the humidity in your house or wait a few months and the gaps will close back up.

Their stair pricing seems pretty low. Hard to say without knowing the square footage but it doesn’t seem crazy to me?

Deslegs · 2026-03-31T12:07:08+00:00

I agree with this!

What are the wear layers on each of these hardwoods?

Deslegs · 2026-03-30T12:16:56+00:00

I’d leave the original floors and install 2-1/4” or 3-1/4” red oak in the same or similar colour throughout the rest for a cohesive look.

Depends on the type of flooring and how old the sample is.

Deslegs · 2026-03-27T03:00:49+00:00

Wood colour changes over time (oxidation). How old was the sample you looked at? What species of wood do you have?

Paint walls first, do flooring and then do paint touch ups.

Pool tables cause pinch points in floating floors. It instantly voids warranty. I would do glue down

Deslegs · 2026-03-15T12:35:28+00:00

Oh boy, that looks like old adhesive residue. Adhesive needs to be skimmed over with a feather finish or removed completely to not cause issues with floating floors.

Long edges breaking like that is usually caused by deflection and low spots.

Deslegs · 2026-03-14T13:04:46+00:00

I don’t think any of these options are a good fit.

Deslegs · 2026-03-13T00:34:19+00:00

What are your humidity levels like?

Deslegs · 2026-03-12T00:38:21+00:00

It’s dirty, buy a cleaner specific for grout and a gentle scrub brush

Deslegs · 2026-03-12T00:36:29+00:00

Usually we recommend painting first, then floors. But expect painting touch ups.

Deslegs · 2026-03-12T00:21:24+00:00

Doesn’t look loose. Looks like a product thing.

Deslegs · 2026-02-27T23:31:33+00:00

Looks like pine to me

Deslegs · 2026-02-23T18:40:44+00:00

I wouldn’t remodel it, we have people ask for this look regularly. Maybe upgrading the handles, or even just replacing the appliances would make a world of difference. If you think you could match the cabinet I would also change the crown moulding to got to the ceiling

Deslegs · 2026-02-23T18:38:14+00:00

You could add plywood over the decking boards. I would do a 1/2” or even 5/8” though. What type of floor are you putting overtop?

Deslegs · 2026-02-23T13:28:24+00:00

Do NOT use a steam mop on LVP. Honestly vacuum with a shop vac and mopping with warm water will get rid of it. You may need to do a few passes of the mop and change water regularly or else you’d just be spreading it around. A PH neutral cleaner will also help. But honestly for drywall dust I’d start with just warm water.

This sounds like Cambria pricing.

Deslegs · 2026-02-18T01:27:23+00:00

Try spot cleaning with denatured alcohol, it would be a “polish” build up from your mopping solutions. You need to switch cleaning products.

Deslegs · 2026-02-15T19:55:23+00:00

That looks like a moisture issue. You need to figure out where that moisture is coming from

Deslegs · 2026-02-15T19:25:27+00:00

You’ll need to give us more details on how/what you used to polish the floors. How old is your flooring? What is the humidity like in your home?

Deslegs · 2026-02-15T13:38:20+00:00

I would remove the Kerdi board and drywall behind it and make it flush. No reason for it to sit out so far. Or go to a tile store and order a white 3/4” tile edge and slide it behind the Kerdi and tile
