Posted by: Barbara at May 20, 2008 06:25 PMHi Barbara, I'm sorry, I cannot recommend anybody that sells used hardwood flooring in the DC area - I'm not located anywhere near there. You might try to see if there are any architectural salvage people in the area utilize a search engine (my favorite is Google!). Good luck!

Posted by: The Flooring Lady at May 21, 2008 05:01 PMHi,
I am a new homeowner and know nothing about flooring. I would like to take out the old carpet that was in my new home and replace it with a wood floor. Under the carpet is concrete and this is on the ground floor. I have a 3 year old and I am so confused as to what floor I can get that will go on the concrete and be durable enough for my toddler. Please help.. I am not handy and have no idea where to begin.
Thank You,
Tina

Posted by: Tina at June 5, 2008 04:27 PMHi Tina,
The first thing you need to do is learn about different options for re-covering your floor. There are many products that will work over a concrete floor. The most important thing is to make sure that there are no dampness issues with your floor and if there are to address that first, whether that means sealing, just using a good moisture barrier before you re-floor, etc.
Choices...........there's lots of them! Laminate planks or tiles, engineered harwood, vinyl, linoleum, ceramic tile, even painting or staining your cement. I suggest you read about your different options, sorta kinda make a choice (or two or three) and read more in depth about how to lay those types of flooring, how to care for them, etc.
Are you truly not 'handy', or do you just say that because you're not experienced in flooring? You just need to learn thoroughly what about what you're going to do before you do it. If you truly don't have a handly bone in your body you might want to have it installed rather than doing it yourself.

I haven't a clue. Only thing I can think of is to check to see if there are any architectural salvage businesses in your area. Have you checked to see if Miller Bros. is still in business?

Hi - I'm looking for 800 sf of used hardwood flooring. Mostly to save money. I'll recondition and finish it. I just need the raw product. I can pick up in the Portland Metro area. Do you have any recomendations for me?
