When we moved into our home (nearly 6 years ago) we immediately tore up the rose colored carpet on the main level. We had pulled a corner up while we looking at the house and the hardwood appeared to be in OK condition. We weren't expecting perfection when we pulled up the carpet, but we also weren't expecting to see hundred of nails/screws in the hardwood either! The floors were livable until recently when the wood by the front door began to wear down. We either needed to refinish or carpet the main level - so we made the decision to keep the hardwood. We found a wonderful contractor who agreed to do the project while we were on vacation in Wisconsin. Since we needed to be out of the house for a week because of the fumes, it was perfect timing. On the downside....moving furniture out and back into the house before and after vacation! I'm not going to lie - that was a lot of work.
Upon our return home, we discovered that he did a WONDERFUL job. The floors were actually better than we expected. That darling man went through and filled every single nail and screw hole so they are hardly noticeable now. We love the floors so much that both Ross and I are nervous to wear shoes on the hardwood now - we don't want to be the first one to scratch it! It was well worth the money and effort - I wish we had done it sooner!
