The experience with Totta Hardwoods was amazing. From the very first estimate visit to the completion of the floors, I was pleased with the courtesy, efficiency, quality of workmanship and overall care of my wood floors. It was magical to observe how they laced into existing 15-year-old floors, sanded the old and new and stained the entire area that now looks brand new!

Totta Hardwoods refinished original redwood and whitewood hardwood floors in 3 rooms in our home and installed new oak hardwood floors in an adjacent room. I interviewed several companies before contracting with them. Their professionalism, preparation, quality of work, attention to detail, and responsiveness were top notch--second to none. Every step of the process was explained to us in detail ahead of time. The follow-through and follow-up service was outstanding. I appreciate working with a local, family-owned business and their personal involvement in every phase of the project. I interacted with many of the employees throughout the process, who were all excellent, skilled at every level and great to work with. I highly recommend Totta Hardwoods and will be using them again for any other hardwood floor work.

The hardwood floors of our 94 year old lake home were not well cared for until the Totta Hardwood Flooring specialists came to the rescue. They installed new HWF in the renovated kitchen, pieced that floor into the older flooring of the original hearth room, and sanded a neglected bedroom floor. After staining, all those floors look amazing and new! Eventually we will have the Totta specialists redo the remaining wood floors - I can't wait!

I had an excellent experience working with the Totta Hardwoods team to install a new white oak floor in my living room. The whole team was highly professional, customer-centric and committed to providing a very high level of service and craftsmanship. I plan to use them again for a separate project and would recommend them highly.

Totta hardwoods is the only place we go for any of our hardwood floor work. This is the second house in two years we've had them do work on our floors. The prices were in line with the quality of their work and we wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

FAQS

The answer depends on the homeowner. Most factory-finished or prefinished floors have their own unique set of pros and cons.

Positive:

Prefinished hardwood flooring offers a broader range of options for hand-scraping and distressed looks that can be achieved more economically than their on-site-finished counterpart.
Convenience: Time Savings: The installation of a prefinished wood floor takes 1-3 days on average and there is no dry-time or cure time to contend with. Furniture: furniture can be shuffled around the working area rather than completely removed from the house.
They can then be installed in one step without creating dust or fumes.

Negative:

Prefinished wood floors will never be as smooth and flat overall as an onsite finished floor. The majority of prefinished hardwood has a slight lip on the ends for an easier installation.
You can experience some color variations between the boards since every piece is stained separately in a factory.
Manufacturers are constantly discontinuing product lines so it may be very challenging to obtain more of the same flooring down the line if you need to.

We believe the beauty, timeless style, and durability of hardwood floors make it the best choice for any home. Depending on the location of installation, you would need to choose between engineered or solid hardwood. Any wood flooring installed below grade must be engineered. “Below grade” are areas such as basements, however, are not limited to. It would be any room located below ground level which is sometimes found in split level homes.

Solid wood or engineered wood with a minimum of 4mm wear layer is a great choice for homeowners with pets. Choosing a harder wood species will also minimize the wear and tear from pets. Brazilian Cherry or Ipe are very hard exotic wood, but come with a higher price tag. Hickory would be the best domestic wood choice followed by Hard Maple and White Oak. Wood floors minimize the accumulation of animal dander and hair. They are easier to clean and can be repaired vs replacing.

Solid Hardwood or engineered with a minimum of 4mm wear layer would be the recommended flooring option for households with children. Wood floors are hypoallergenic, durable, and easy to clean. They are hypoallergenic because they minimize the accumulation of dust, mold, and animal dander which promotes an overall healthier environment in the home. Because the wood floors can be refinished, you can revive the life of your floors multiple times over the child's time in your home. Cleaning messes are easy, from a quick dusting to cleaning up a child's spill. Regular maintenance will keep your floors from showing the wear seen in carpet and other vinyl options.
