Expertise
I can help. I have installed wood, laminates, tile, marble, ceramics, vinyl, and painted applications. I have done some stone work, but that is seldom used anymore.

Experience
My first work was in flooring and interior designs.   My first job... every room of the house was a different color of walls and carpet.   It can work...

Flooring and Carpeting - Hardwood


Expert: Dave Coil - 6/16/2004

Question
I'm not sure if this question should be directed to your field or not but i thought I'd ask anyways...We just moved into a new house with hardwood floors on the main floor. We would like to get a SMALL dog.. do you think it would scratch up the floor too much? If you could help that would be great! thx -kaitlyn

Answer
It is very likely that a dog will scratch the floor...however...if you have the dogs nails trimmed first and inform them of the reason...it could help.   Some grooming places are familiar with this problem and do a really nice job  correcting the problem "at the source" hehehe.  It should be a routine process for the sake of the floor.
