Hardwood refinishing & sanding in Kemp, TX

Waterproof rigid core plank and tile, in that order. A Kemp lake house takes wet feet off the dock, sand off the boat and dogs through the back door, and many sit closed up midweek while the humidity swings. Solid wood gaps and cups under that. We put waterproof product where the water comes in and save wood or engineered for interior rooms that stay conditioned year round.

Yes, but the subfloor comes first. Older Kemp farmhouses and manufactured homes over a vented crawlspace usually need joists checked, loose decking screwed down and dips leveled before anything goes over the top. Skip that and a floating floor telegraphs every soft spot within a year. We put that prep in the written estimate rather than springing it on you the morning of the install.

We do, at no charge, and we bring the samples with us. Kemp is a straight run south from our showroom at 10 Mustang Court in Forney. Seeing a floor next to your own cabinets, in the light coming off the lake, beats guessing from a photo. Once you approve the estimate we can usually start within about two days, and financing is available through Synchrony and Wisetack.

You can, but the seam will show. The same species from the same era darkens at a different rate depending on light, and a fresh finish beside a fifteen-year-old one reads as new against old no matter how the stain is matched. Where a room closes off with a door, we stop cleanly at a threshold. Across an open plan, do the whole field.

Most families stay. With a waterborne finish the odor is mild and clears quickly, and we sequence the work so there is a path to a bedroom and a bathroom. Oil-modified finish is a different story: the smell is strong for several days, and households with infants or birds usually leave. Pets have to be out of the work area entirely, since paw prints in a curing finish are permanent.

Yes, within what the species allows. Red oak carries a pink undertone that fights gray stains, maple and birch blotch unless they are conditioned or water-popped first, and no stain makes a floor lighter than its own bare wood. We sand a section of your floor and lay candidate stains on it, because a sample board of someone else's oak tells you very little.
