Hardwood floors are beautiful and long-lasting. When properly maintained, you can expect them to last 20 to 30 years, and some still look great after 100 years. But even though hardwood floors are more durable than most types of flooring, they don't last forever. Eventually, there will come a time to replace your hardwood floors.
Hardwood floor problems can be attributed to a variety of factors, including ordinary deterioration from everyday wear and environmental conditions. Extraordinary cases like pest infestations and water damage can also lead to hardwood floor problems that can't be ignored.
Damage to your hardwood floors caused by normal wear and tear can be minimized with proper care and maintenance. However, there will come a time when your hardwood floor problems cannot be overlooked. Noisy floorboards can be annoying, and damaged wood is unattractive. More importantly, damaged wood floors can be unsafe, especially when you have problems like splintering wood and nails peeking through. When replacing hardwood floors is your only option, let Hardwood Revival help you upgrade your space with installing new hardwood floors.
Whether it's seasonal changes in the weather that cause wood to swell and shrink or structural issues that are making your floor move, hardwood floors can get noisy after years of moving and flexing. Noisy hardwood floors are one of the first signs of hardwood floor problems, and they will eventually lead to safety issues that can't be ignored.
Splinters on hardwood floors are usually caused by water damage, scratches from moving furniture, or poor installation, but in many cases, splintering results from normal wear and tear. Sanding and refinishing your floor can give it new life and take care of your splinter problem, but that's not always possible with old floors.
Nails peeking through or popping out of the floorboards is another big safety issue. Over time, changes in moisture and temperature, combined with the vibrations caused by foot traffic, will cause nails to work themselves loose. Driving them back in is only a temporary fix at best, and if you have a lot of nails coming loose, it's a sign that your hardwood floors need to be replaced.
