Dogs could possibly cause some minor damage to hardwood floors, and in some cases, it will be more obvious than in others. For example, some people like the look of black hardwood floors, but they show scratches from dog nails more clearly than lighter floors. In general, textured and lower-sheen floors will hide any imperfections.

The first & most obvious reason to hire a professional is for the sake of time and convenience. If you try to fit an entire flooring project into your already busy schedule, who knows when it will finally be complete and how long your home will be disrupted for? Professional expertise means that the project is more likely to be completed according to schedule, and that you will end up with professional quality results. Especially if you have no experience, installing your own flooring opens up the potential for mistakes, which you might end up needing a professional to fix anyway. Get the job done right the first time by hiring a contractor with proven experience.

Hardwood is an incredibly beautiful design element in any room.  Regardless of the style you choose, it can be the perfect foundation of a room's design. Along with an elegant, high-end aesthetic, hardwood floors offer the warmth, beauty, and value of wood, which never goes out of style. Hardwood floors are also said to enable a look of spaciousness wherever they are installed. Hardwood floors are very easy to clean as they do not accumulate a lot of dirt, dust, and debris. A weekly cleaning procedure involves vacuuming, moping and keeping the floor dry. That’s it!
