Can I install a solid 3/4" hardwood floor in my basement?

Flooring Frequently Asked Questions
Solid 3/4" Hardwood flooring cannot be installed below grade (below the soil line) or over concrete. When a solid product encounters moisture it reacts very negatively. Therefore, a laminate or engineered flooring must be used. Laminate flooring is constructed by fusing 4-plys of material together to form a product with unprecedented strength and durability. An engineered product is very similar with the exception that they usually have a real wood layer on top of the constructed core.

Can I install a hardwood floor if I have pets?

TDI Custom Design Flooring
Although many homeowners have pets, hardwood flooring is not designed for the abuse a dog or cat can cause on a floor. Urine may permanently discolor the finish of the wood floor and large dogs' claws will probably leave scratches in the finish. The type of wood floor you buy, the color and the finish will also be factor in how much punishment the floor's finish can withstand before showing scratches and excessive wear.

If I only refinish a portion of my hardwood floors, can you match my old floor?

Old Dominion Floor Co., Inc. - Frequently Asked Questions
We can come close to matching your old floor's color and shine, but we cannot match the old floor exactly. Due to the natural ambering of the polyurethane and the darkening of wood with age, exact matches are not possible. It will be necessary for the homeowner to be present while attempting to match a stain color and a signature of approval will be required.
