Beautiful floors require proper preparation especially when
you are removing carpeting and replacing the flooring with wood or tile. Any waves in the floor or dips in the
flooring need to be fixed prior to floor installation. I was recently called into a condo in Eden
Prairie where the original contractor had cut corners and not prepared the
subfloor properly. The result was 13 or
14 large tiles that were hollow and susceptible to cracking. This easily is avoided when the subfloor is
properly prepared.
When doing projects on your own, it is often tempting to cut
corners. My advice is to spend the extra
time and money to do the project right.
Many times, I have been called into homes to “fix” a do it yourself
project that did not turn out the way the homeowner expected. Often, I cannot
fix the problem because the short cut they took requires a complete tear out of
the materials. Often, the materials
cannot be saved and the project ends up costing the consumer twice as much
because they took short cuts or tried projects that were beyond their skill
level.
B & R Hardwood and Tile does not cut corners. We prepare every subfloor carefully to insure a beautiful result. For a free consultation, contact Kurt Kuhlmann at 612-644-8779 or check us out on the web at www.brflooring.biz
