Floor Medallions Turn Hardwood into Artwork

September 11, 2019 by My Affordable Flooring

Floor medallions turn regular hardwood floors into wonderful works of art. If you want to do something special in your home, a floor medallion is a great option. In fact, they elevate the status of any room from boring to beautiful. Let’s take a look at some things you should consider before you inlay a medallion to your floors.

In Which Room Do I Place a Floor Medallion?

The room in which you place the medallions is vital to its overall appeal in your home. It would be foolish to place a medallion in a place that has a lot of furniture. You will just end up covering it up. These decorative designs increase labor and installation costs, so you want to be mindful about where it is placed.

You also want to consider the purpose of the room. Small rooms sometimes feel even smaller when too much decoration is involved. You want a room large enough so that the medallion is the focus point of the room. Think of it as art on the floors instead of the walls. You don’t want to do too much to distract from the beauty of the medallion.

Big Rooms Are Best

Your best bet is to place the medallion in a large room. You often see extravagant floor medallions in hotels, casinos, lobbies, museums, and ballrooms. You may consider placing it in your foyer to add elegance to your home’s entrance. This is a great way to impress guests if you like to entertain.

Where Do I Place a Floor Medallion?

Most often, our clients place the medallion right in the center of the room. This acts as the main piece of art and decoration in the room. However, some people place small medallions in bathrooms and bedrooms as well.

Another popular medallion is a family crest right inside the front door. This is a great way to brand your home and do something special for your family. You may already have a family crest, otherwise, you can design your own together!

Consider Extra Costs and Labor

Inlaying a floor medallion is not easy. It can only be done by a flooring expert. The more complex and intricate the design of the medallion, the longer and more difficult it will be to install. Luckily we have veteran technicians who know the flooring industry inside and out.

DIY Projects From Hardwood Floors in Your Milwaukee Home

February 28, 2019 by My Affordable Flooring

Who says hardwood can only be used for floors? Hardwood is durable, comes in a variety of species, and its elegant presentation makes for a unique living space. Whether it’s for your walls, countertops, or ceilings, there are many uses of hardwood in your home. If you have hardwood to spare or you’re in the market for doing home improvement, here’s how to apply hardwood for DIY projects in your home.

Walls & Ceilings

Adding hardwood to your walls is more than just a fashion statement. The durability, and strength of hardwood make it a good way to reinvigorate your drywall. Alternating materials between floors and walls in your home gives your home an aesthetic that can’t be matched. According to a post from This Old House, you can easily install hardwood on your ceiling with adhesives and nails. With many species to choose from, it’s important to find one that is strong and durable. If you’re unsure of the type of wood you’re looking for, see our post on finding the right wood species.

Furniture & Appliances

Leftover hardwood can inspire homeowners to revamp old furniture. Reusing your hardwood flooring is a simple and elegant way to give furniture new life without breaking the bank. Decking out countertops and appliances is a great way to putting your leftover hardwood flooring to use. A post from Work About House has a step-by-step look at one homeowner’s DIY countertop made from leftover hardwood flooring. The incredible durability of hardwood opens the door to many creative endeavors, big or small.

Picture Frames

If you’re working with a limited supply of hardwood, you can use it to deck out pictures with homemade frames. A blog post from Hunker illustrates a simple 7 step process for creating picture frames. It’s important to know that for most DIY projects you will need a vast selection of power tools that you know how to use. Being knowledgeable of the tools you use will ensure your safety and the integrity of the work you do.

Does Laminate Flooring Work for DIY Projects

Laminate Flooring, which mimics the look of hardwood, is a great material for creating DIY projects in your home. Laminate Flooring may be best for countertops and appliances due to its strength and low maintenance. If you’d like to learn more, see our post on the pros and cons of laminate flooring!

A Final Word on Using Hardwood Throughout Your Milwaukee Home

In the age of Pinterest and recycling, your hardwood floor opens the door for sprucing up your home. If you’re in the market for hardwood flooring to replace your floors or experiment with DIY projects, give My Affordable Flooring a call! We offer a vast selection of hardwood, laminate, tile and install in homes around the Milwaukee/Chicago area.

Hardwood Scratch Repair: A Guide for Homeowners

November 28, 2018 by My Affordable Flooring

What if you could renovate your home while saving thousands of dollars?

Over the years, your beautiful hardwood floors are going to get scratched and scuffed. And many homeowners think the best solution is to replace the floors entirely. However, replacement is a costly and frustrating process. Meanwhile, hardwood scratch repair is both easier and more affordable.

Keep reading to learn more about how to fix scratches on wood floor!

old piece of scratched hardwood that needs repair

Clean Beforehand

If you’re interested in how to fix scratches on wood floor, we know you’re eager to get started. First, though, you must thoroughly clean the floor area.

With a sturdy rug and specialized hardwood floor cleaner, you can easily scrub the affected areas. You’ll want to ensure the entire area looks clean, though your primary focus will be the cracks themselves.

After scrubbing, use a simple rag and water to rinse the area. Be sure to let it dry before you proceed to the next step.

Fill It In

The next step is to fill in any cracks in the wood. All you need to do this is a stick of wax.

Start by rubbing the stick of wax over the cracks until they are properly filled in. If the wax isn’t going into the cracks on its own, you may need to use a putty knife in order to shape the wax into place.

The wood wax you’ll need for this process is available in a variety of colors, including a clear coat. Be sure to select the color that is best for your wooden floor.

Get Buff and Stuff

The final step in the traditional hardwood scratch repair process is to buff the scratch. To begin, get a soft cloth and start rubbing it over the affected area.

This repetitive motion accomplishes two specific tasks. First, it helps to further clean the area and ensure that the repaired wood looks better than ever. Second, it helps to buff the wax you’ve put down, further helping your hardwood stand out in the eyes of anyone who visits.

Your ultimate goal with this process is to have a floor that looks shiny and new. Don’t stop buffing until you have a floor you can be proud of once more!

For Small Scratches

The process detailed above assumes that you have scratches large enough or deep enough to require this level of restoration. For smaller scratches, you may be able to use simpler solutions.

For instance, some small scratches can be filled in with a blending pencil. This is a one-step restoration process, and the only tricky part is finding the pencil shade that perfectly matches your floor.

If you have small scratches caused by a family pet, then you may want to use this homebrew solution: Mix olive oil and apple cider vinegar in a cup in equal measure and then place small amounts in the affected area. Leave it there for a day and then rub the area out. Your hardwood should look good as new!

Hardwood Scratch Repair: The Bottom Line

Now you know why hardwood scratch repair is so easy and affordable. But what if the floor damage is more severe?

A Guide to Hardwood Floor Refinishing: Part II

June 2, 2017 by My Affordable Flooring

Last time, we took an in-depth look at the first part of hardwood floor refinishing: removing the old finish and fixing imperfections in the flooring. Now, we’ll dive into the critical next steps, which can make all the difference between a beautiful hardwood floor that lasts a lifetime, and a less-than-stellar job that leaves you wanting more for your home. Let’s take a look at what goes into these steps, and why it’s best left to the experts:

Prepare the flooring and apply the finish

Cleaning is critical to the final hardwood floor finish. My Affordable Flooring’ talented experts will remove nearly every speck of dust from the floor surface using our high-tech vacuums. We’ll prepare the surface using techniques developed over our decades of hardwood floor refinishing. Homeowners that know the importance of cleaning before refinishing can do their best, but rarely are able to clean as effectively as My Affordable Flooring, leading to a less smooth final finish, and a frustrating application process.

Once the floor is cleaned, our experts will apply the finish with a delicate touch that only experience can bring. The final product is a glass-like finish that brings out the fine details in your hardwood planks and adds a breathtaking beauty to your room. When you call My Affordable Flooring to refinish your hardwood floors, there’s no deciding how many coats you need or how long to let it cure, our experts will apply the right amount of finish in the right way to ensure that your floor lasts for many years to come. We even offer UV floor finishing, giving you a super-durable, 100% cured finish in minutes, as opposed to the days required for a typical finish to cure.

Once your My Affordable Flooring hardwood floor refinishing project is complete, you’ll know you did the right thing by leaving this to the experts. Your floors take more abuse than any other surface of your home, but also have the most potential to increase the beauty of your living spaces.

A Guide to Hardwood Floor Refinishing: Part I

May 25, 2017 by My Affordable Flooring

Hardwood floor refinishing is a messy, tedious, and time-consuming process. Many a DIY-er has attempted this project with the intention of saving money over professional hardwood floor refinishing, only to total up receipts at the end of the long and difficult project to see that they spent just as much money doing it themselves as they could have by hiring a professional. This doesn’t even take into account the value of their time, and the fact that a floor refinished by a pro is more durable, more beautiful, and leaves a much less dusty house than one that is refinished by most homeowners themselves. In Milwaukee, this is a job you should trust to the pros at My Affordable Flooring.

Let’s take a look at what goes into a hardwood floor refinishing job, and why it’s best left to the experts:

Remove the old finish and fix imperfections

This first step is where things typically go wrong for the DIY homeowner. A common scenario plays out when a new homeowner pulls up carpeting to reveal hardwood below, and then goes to work removing the carpet completely. He or she then rents a floor sander, deciding on either a belt sander, which can be difficult to get the hang of and could result in floor damage, or an orbital sander, which is easy to use but less effective. After the first few attempts at sanding the old finish off result in quickly clogged sandpaper, the homeowner realizes he or she will need to strip the old finish, then sand, and then refinish. Costs are quickly piling up, the homeowner wishes he or she would have hired a pro, and we haven’t even got to the dusty part yet.

My Affordable Flooring has over two decades of experience as professional floor refinishers serving the Wisconsin/Illinois area, and we’re proud of our company’s reputation for providing affordable, high-quality hardwood floor refinishing services. We’ve seen it all, and we can quickly identify the best way to remove existing finish and get it done right, quickly and effectively. Our Ultra-efficient HEPA vacuums remove 95% of dust from the air as we sand, leaving your house nearly spotless when the job is complete. This aspect of our service simply can’t be matched by a homeowner with a shop vac; do it yourself and get ready to dust your home daily for weeks.

When it comes to fixing imperfections in existing flooring, we’re on top of it. We’ll find the old dents and dings in the flooring, old cuts from carpet knives, and water damage, and repair it at this critical stage of the refinish job. Most DIY-ers would miss many of these imperfections in the sanded flooring, and only see them after the finish is applied, leading to a real head-slapping moment.

In our next post, we’ll continue our guide to hardwood floor refinishing with floor preparation and applying the finish.

5 Signs You’ve Found a Great Hardwood Floor Installer

March 29, 2017 by My Affordable Flooring

MAF March Blog 3

 

If you have considered the options, consulted with an expert, and done your research, chances are you may have decided that hardwood flooring is your preferred flooring material for your project. Once installed, you should expect to have an extremely attractive floor that will last a lifetime with proper care.

Keep in mind that perhaps the most important step of your decision is choosing quality hardwood flooring installation. A good installer can mean the difference between an easy to care for and long lasting floor, or squeaky, uneven, and/or crooked floorboards that will eventually require replacement.

Fortunately, there are some clear signs to look for in an installer that will almost guarantee you are getting what you pay for. When you choose My Affordable Flooring for your hardwood flooring installation in Milwaukee and the surrounding areas, you’ll notice these items are met and exceeded.

A skilled and experienced installer will:

1. Provide a detailed quote

A quote is not an itemized list of approximately what you’ll be paying for installation, it’s a legally binding document that should spell out in detail exactly what will be done, and exactly what the costs are for each item and task. This includes preparation, installation, and finishing. If your quote is missing any of these items, you may want to reconsider your installer.

2. Properly acclimate your hardwood

If flooring materials aren’t acclimated to the environment in which they will be installed, the material can expand or contract, or otherwise become malformed after installation. An experienced installer knows that this process is critical to installation, and can vary in different climates and at different times of the year. The installer should take moisture measurements and advise on how to properly acclimate the material.

3. Measure, calculate and prepare the layout.

Since rooms are rarely a perfect square, your installer needs to spend considerable time planning before beginning work on the floor. Be sure to discuss the proper direction of the floorboards and agree on what needs to be done around any doorways, stairs, vents, or other obstacles.

4. Prepare the subfloor

The quote should provide details about the subfloor preparation that is required as well. Any old flooring will need to be removed and repairs to subfloor boards made to ensure the new flooring is fastened to a flat, level, clean, dry, and completely rigid substrate. The installer will apply the appropriate underlayment over the subfloor, which helps to regulate air and moisture movement and extends the life of the flooring material.

5. Using the right type, quality, and quantity of fasteners

Another error that can significantly reduce the expected lifespan of your floor is improper fastening. Make sure your installer specifies that appropriate nails will be used, and in what locations on each floorboard. For most installations, the installer will use a pneumatic flooring nailer, and attach each board with several nails, ensuring that the ends are firmly nailed in place to avoid loosening and movement over time.

Our Tips for Cleaning Vinyl Floors

March 8, 2017 by My Affordable Flooring

MAF March Blog 1 (1)

Vinyl flooring is popular not only because of its good looks and relatively low cost but also because of its long-lasting durability. Once your vinyl flooring installation is complete, you can expect a flooring surface that retains its appearance for years to come with minimal maintenance, even in high-traffic areas. However, all flooring types need regular cleaning to ensure they continue to look their best for as long as possible.

Cleaning vinyl flooring is quite simple, but there are a few basic rules to follow to avoid damage. Abrasion of any kind can dull the surface of your flooring, or create tiny tears in the material that can result in more problems in the future. Before you clean your vinyl flooring with a mop and a cleaning solution, always sweep or vacuum to remove any sand, dust or dirt that could cause abrasion when pushed around on the surface. Also, remember to be careful of what cleaning supplies you use on your vinyl flooring, and avoid abrasive or sharp tools, as well as harsh cleaners or detergents.

Be careful to always clean up spills immediately. Vinyl flooring is highly resistant to penetration, but some liquids can cause permanent staining, especially to lighter colored vinyl. It’s best to remove spills or leaks of all kinds as soon as possible.

For everyday cleaning, you don’t even need to use detergent. Just a soft, damp mop will remove most of the dirt from your floor. For occasional deeper cleaning, it is best to use a gentle, non-abrasive floor cleaner, and avoid “mop and shine” products, which can leave a dull film on your flooring. Wet a soft mop, wring, and apply to the floor, rinsing often to remove dirt from the mop.

As with any type of floor, never push, pull or drag furniture, appliances, or other items across the floor. Doing so can dent or otherwise permanently damage your vinyl flooring, requiring replacement.

Advantages of Laminate Flooring

February 8, 2017 by My Affordable Flooring

MAF Blog 1- Advantages of Laminate Flooring

The different types of flooring available to you all have their own advantages and disadvantages. Some types are are very durable but more expensive and time consuming to install. Other types offer a highly attractive look but require special care to maintain their appearance. Of all the types of flooring available for your consideration, only laminate flooring can can claim to be not only inexpensive, but extremely durable, quick to install, and beautiful. For these reasons, laminate flooring is very popular, and My Affordable Flooring offers easy and affordable laminate flooring installation services for your next project.

Laminate flooring can cost less than half the cost of traditional hardwood flooring, and is considerably cheaper than carpet. Because of its ease of installation, laminate flooring can be installed with minimal disruption of your daily household life. The incredibly durable top surface layer of laminate flooring is resistant to stains, scratches and chips, and also doesn’t fade in sunlight. Best of all, the many patterns available in laminate flooring allow you to closely mimic the look of real wood flooring, giving you a rich look without the maintenance required by traditional hardwood. The maintenance of laminate flooring is easy – you simply vacuum or sweep and wipe with a damp cloth or mop!

Laminate flooring has very few disadvantages, and luckily most of them can be avoided with some easy care. Owners of large dogs may want to consider laminate types with a high wear-resistance rating, and make sure to clip the dog’s claws regularly as they can gradually wear the top layer of the laminate. Also, it’s important to clean up spills quickly and avoid excess moisture on your laminate flooring, since moisture penetration can cause swelling and mildew. Unlike hardwood flooring, damaged laminate can’t be sanded or refinished – any damage will require planks to be replaced.

Common Hardwood Floor Repairs

January 25, 2017 by My Affordable Flooring

MAF Blog 2- Common HWF Repairs

Common Hardwood Floor Repairs

A well-cared for hardwood floor will provide a lifetime of beauty and enjoyment, but even the most careful homeowner will occasionally be faced with the need for hardwood floor repairs. An unnoticed water leak, an over-exuberant puppy, and an under-planned move of the piano are just a few of the common occurrences that can cause repairable damage to your floor. Let’s take a look at some common scenarios and the solutions offered by My Affordable Flooring.

Water Damage

Damage caused by a burst pipe or leaky faucet can be disastrous, but is often more easily repairable than one would assume. The first step is to identify and repair the source of the water then take the necessary steps to ensure that the water leak can’t happen again.  Once the source of the damage is repaired, it’s important to contact an expert to assess the level of damage and recommend a course of action for the repair.

If the damage is limited to some simple finish peeling, slight discoloration, or mild floorboard warping (also called “cupping”), the flooring may be repairable with simple hardwood floor refinishing. The existing finish will be stripped or sanded away, and any discoloration or warping can often be sanded down to minimize or eliminate the damage. If the damage is too severe, board replacement may be necessary. In many situations, a section of boards can be replaced using the same types of hardwood flooring, and then the entire floor can be refinished to create a repaired floor that is as good as new.

Scratches, Dents and Gouges

Any homeowner who has lived with hardwood flooring for a long time has felt the pain of accidentally dropping a sharp object or sliding a rough, heavy item and denting, scratching or gouging his or her beautiful floor. Luckily, these type of blemishes are frequently repairable as well.  

As long as the dent, scratch or gouge is no deeper than ⅛-inch, there is a reasonable chance that it can be repaired by sanding and finishing. Floor damage that is deeper than that, however, nearly always requires replacing the boards, then sanding and refinishing the entire floor.

Holes

Homes of all ages often have holes in the hardwood flooring, possibly from staples and tacks from a previous carpet installation, or holes drilled to run telephone wires or cables for television. While board replacement and refinishing is the only way to completely remove all evidence of these holes, wood filler can often be used to mask the holes and make them much less apparent. The pros at My Affordable Flooring have the experience necessary to expertly perform the best repair for your particular situation.

Other kinds of damage

Although many surface blemishes and shallow imperfections can be repaired relatively quickly by My Affordable Flooring experts, extreme damage resulting from pet urine, major plant stains, and burns often require replacement of the boards and refinishing of the whole room. Since these repair and refinish jobs can be intrusive and expensive, it’s important to hire a professional with the experience and service necessary to do the job right. With My Affordable Flooring, you get our 20+ years of experience, our exemplary customer service, and our quality equipment and materials, all at a affordable price.

On-site Ultraviolet (UV) Floor Curing Service

December 20, 2016 by My Affordable Flooring

Ultra Violet Floor Curing

Ultraviolet (UV) curing provides a durable and environmentally-friendly floor-finishing solution. My Affordable Flooring offers homes in Milwaukee, Chicago, and surrounding areas access to the best in UV floor-finishing services.

Benefits of UV

Hardwood floors refinished with UV curing technology offer a number of unique benefits that non-UV floors simply cannot match. Benefits include:

  • Surfaces twice as hard as those cured with non-UV finishes
  • Quick curing, instead of the 30 days that some conventional finishes can take
  • Odor-free and will not produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making UV a more environmentally-friendly choice than conventional finishes
  • Resistant to scratches, scuffs, marks, chemical intrusion, and stains

Whether you own a business that needs quick results or you’re a homeowner starting a remodeling project with your floors, the professional UV floor-finishing services of My Affordable Flooring is ready to work with you. In just a few short hours, you can have completely refinished floors that are 100% cured and ready for use.

Caring for UV-finished floors

If your hardwood floors were cured with UV floor-finishing, there are a few precautions that you should take to keep the floors looking fantastic for years to come. Precautions include:

  • Keep liquids—especially puddles—away from your floor and make sure not to use too much liquid when cleaning. For proper cleaning, just use a damp mop or sponge.
  • Don’t let shoes with spikes or “spike heels” to be worn on the floor, as these can indent the wood.
  • Don’t wax your floor, as waxes can dull the finish. In fact, if you wax your floor, you may need to have the entire floor sanded down again and re-coated.
  • Don’t use harsh chemicals that could damage the floor’s finish, such as pine soap, ammonia, oil soap, or bleach.

If you’re considering hardwood flooring and are interested in UV curing, then give us a call. We offer free estimates and consultations for all of our services. Call our friendly sales associates today at 262-653-1120 for a no-obligation estimate or just complete our contact form to schedule your appointment.
