Yes, over time hardwood flooring may change color. Depending on the species, stain, and finish you choose, the floor may become either darker, lighter, or develop a slight change of tone. Frequent exposure to sunlight is likely to cause your floor to change color more quickly.

We recommend getting your hardwood floors maintenanced every 3-months or once a quarter for optimal use.

The main cause of squeaky floors is movement. There are typically three (3) reasons movement occurs on your floor. 

1. Seasonal Movement - Floors expand and shrink with season change due to a lack of or too much humidity. This expanding and shrinking loosens flooring boards and will cause squeaks between flooring boards or within the fastener and subfloor.
2. Subfloor Issues - Subfloor issues are common culprits of squeaky floors and should be addressed before the new flooring is installed. Here are some common subfloor issues.
   1. Out of level subfloor
   2. Spacing between the subfloor and joists
   3. Subfloor seams off-center with joists
   4. Improper subfloor material. 
3. Fasteners - Improperly fastening a floor is a sure way to cause squeaks. If the flooring is not installed with the proper fastener schedule (spacing between fastener) or the wrong size fastener your floor will loosen and squeak. Over seating, a fastener will also create squeaks when the fastener pushes through the bottom of the board separating it from the subfloor

Deep cleaning is performed at a one-off request and it only cleans your floors. Our maintenance plans provide additional reduced prices for recoating and service calls, as well as, an annual oil application to help with the longevity of the floors.

While we suggest getting your floors regularly maintenance every quarter, at a minimum you should have your floors maintenance done on your floors once a year to ensure their longevity.
