Totta Hardwoods always perform at a level of excellence. I have had multiple rooms where they have replaced carpet and put in beautiful hardwood flooring. In addition, I have had some existing hardwood floors sanded and refinished. All the work is beautiful.

Our floors where built in 1939 oak floor, the previous owner put linoleum down on part of the floor. Totta took up the linoleum and refinished all the oak floors in the living room and hall way. They are beautiful, I think they look more beautiful than they were when they were put down. Just guessing I am not that old. We had our kitchen floors refinished by a different company a year ago and Totta's makes those floors look like they didn't finish them, so I am having them come back out and redo the kitchen floors so they look as beautiful as the living room floor. They did a GREAT job! Will never use anyone else to finish the other floors in my house.

Totta Hardwoods refinished our floors this year and did an outstanding job. I would HIGHLY recommend them. Mike and Ben Totta are hands on and answered all of my questions with a great level of detail. They are professional and stand by their work. The floors look amazing. They are true craftsmen and take pride in their work . They are professional, knowledgable and have an attention to detail that make them a standout. I trusted the team to be in my house while we were gone and I am happy to say, I am THRILLED with the outcome. I give them 5 stars and highly recommend them. Thanks to Totta Hardwoods for all of your hard work and effort. The floors look amazing! I would use you again in a heartbeat.

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!

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!

It’s a big decision to have your floors redone but Totta Hardwoods made my decision so worthwhile. Attention to detail was excellent and Alex was a professional in every manner. It was refreshing to finally hire a business that was true to their word.

We have used Totta Hardwoods twice and both have been good experiences. The young men who came every day were such hard workers, polite in every way, and got the job done in a timely manner. We appreciate the help Mike gave us in finding a match to the other flooring in our home. I highly recommend this company.

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.
